TOKYO, Aug. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Fusion reactors, fast breeder reactors, and solar thermal power plants are being developed as power plants with low environmental impact and no resource constraints. Since these power plants operate at high temperature with large-heat transfer, scientists are studying the use of components that use liquid metal (has excellent heat transfer performance) as a coolant. The liquid metal blanket (a metal wall installed in the core) and the liquid metal divertor (receives heat and discharges exhaust) are among the most important components of fusion reactors and have attracted attention as innovative energy conversion devices. However, the selection of structural materials that are chemically compatible with high-temperature liquid metals has been a challenge.

Key Points: 
  • Associate Professor Masatoshi Kondo of Tokyo Institute of Technology has taken liquid metal coolants and conducted research on their chemical corrosion resistance with leading structural materials.
  • He found that the cause of corrosion is the leaching of metallic components from materials in contact with liquid metal and the alloying of liquid metal and steel materials.
  • In that context, he found that corrosion can be significantly reduced by forming a compact protective oxide layer on the surface of structural materials of liquid metal components.
  • The formation of a stable protective oxide layer that inhibits such corrosion is key to making liquid metal-based components a reality.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orezone Gold Corporation (TSX: ORE, OTCQX: ORZCF) (“Orezone” or “Company”) reported its operational and financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis are available at www.orezone.com and on the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The Company will host a conference call and webcast on August 10, 2023 commencing at 8:00am PDT to discuss the Company’s second quarter results. Additional details are provided at the end of this press release.

Key Points: 
  • The drop in gold production is attributable to decreases in head grades of 9%, plant throughput of 3%, and plant recoveries of 2% as compared to the prior quarter.
  • Lower plant availability in Q2 was the result of routine maintenance for the installation of newly designed mill liners in April 2023 and the replacement of worn shafts in the front-end mineral sizer in late May 2023.
  • All major planned maintenance is now complete for 2023 with plant throughput expected to trend upwards again towards record levels.
  • The system is currently in transit from overseas and is scheduled to be placed into operations by the end of October 2023.
