Environmental protection is not just a responsibility; it is the cornerstone of sustainable business operations. In today's social context, environmental certification has become a crucial indicator of a company's strength and social responsibility. As environmental issues become more severe, both the government and the public are increasing their demands on corporate environmental performance. Achieving environmental certification not only validates a company's efforts in environmental protection but also represents a significant competitive advantage. Certified companies typically enjoy the following benefits:

• Enhancing Corporate Image: Strengthening brand reputation, earning consumer and investor trust, and establishing a responsible corporate image in the public eye.
• Increasing Market Competitiveness: Meeting environmental requirements from domestic and international clients, opening new market opportunities, and gaining an advantage in bidding processes.
• Reducing Operational Risks: Minimizing the risk of environmental violations, avoiding production stoppages due to environmental issues, and proactively adapting to increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
• Promoting Technological Innovation: Driving the development of clean production technologies, optimizing production processes, and inspiring employee innovation.

The recent environmental certification we obtained is undoubtedly a significant breakthrough. It not only validates our long-term efforts in environmental protection but also lays a solid foundation for future development. This certification covers various aspects, including wastewater treatment, exhaust gas emission control, and solid waste management. Among these, the most noteworthy is the innovation in waste acid treatment technology, which not only significantly improves the recovery rate of pickling solutions but also drastically reduces the emission of harmful substances, achieving both economic and environmental benefits.

Innovation is the eternal driving force behind advances in environmental technology. The waste acid treatment technology that has gained recognition this time is the result of years of dedication to environmental innovation. The core of this technology lies in achieving high-efficiency recovery and harmless treatment of waste acid, significantly reducing environmental pollution and providing considerable economic benefits. Here are the key features and innovations of this technology:

• High-Efficiency Separation Technology: Utilizing advanced membrane separation technology to achieve efficient separation of acids and metal ions, with a separation efficiency of 99.9%, far exceeding the industry average. The separation process is low in energy consumption, with operating costs only 60% of traditional methods.
• Metal Recovery System: Developed an innovative electrolytic recovery system that effectively recovers valuable metals from waste liquids. The metal recovery rate exceeds 95%, with product purity reaching 99.99%. The recovered metals can be directly used in production, achieving resource recycling.
• Acid Regeneration Technology: Innovatively adopted thermal regeneration technology to achieve high-efficiency acid regeneration. The regenerated acid purity reaches 98% and can be directly reused in production, increasing the acid recycling usage by more than 10 times, significantly reducing acid consumption.
• Harmless Treatment: Developed a new combination process of neutralization-precipitation-oxidation, achieving harmless treatment of residual waste liquids. The treated water meets direct discharge standards, far below the national discharge limits. The resulting solid waste can be used as construction materials, achieving full resource utilization throughout the process.

The application of this technology has significantly improved the efficiency of waste acid treatment. Compared to traditional methods, this new technology excels in the following aspects:

• 50% Increase in Treatment Efficiency: High-efficiency separation and regeneration technologies greatly shorten the treatment time.
• 40% Reduction in Operating Costs: Thanks to lower energy consumption and resource recycling.
• 70% Reduction in Wastewater Discharge: Highly efficient recycling and reuse technologies significantly reduce wastewater generation.
• 80% Reduction in Harmful Substance Emissions: Harmless treatment technology ensures the safety of emissions.

The successful application of this technology not only solves our environmental challenges but also provides valuable experience for the entire industry. It proves that through technological innovation, it is entirely possible to achieve both environmental protection and economic benefits.

Additionally, this technology incorporates the concept of resource reuse. During the treatment process, the recovered acid and metals can be reintegrated into production, further enhancing resource utilization efficiency.
