PyroGenesis Announces That HPQ Silica Polvere Signs Letter of Intent With Evonik
Paves Way For Potential Future Partnership
为潜在未来合作铺平道路。
MONTREAL, July 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. ( (TSX: PYR) (OTCQX: PYRGF) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company (the "Company" or "PyroGenesis") that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced plasma processes and sustainable solutions which are geared to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) and address environmental pollutants, is pleased to announce the signing by HPQ Silica Polvere Inc. ("HPQ Polvere") of a letter of intent (LOI) with Evonik Corporation, a global specialty chemicals company that manufactures a wide range of high-performance materials including fumed silica. The LOI was announced earlier today by HPQ Silicon Inc. ("HPQ"), the parent company of HPQ Polvere.
加拿大PyroGenesis Canada Inc.((TSX:PYR)(OTCQX:PYRGF)(FRA:8PY))是一家高科技公司(以下简称“公司”或“PyroGenesis”),设计、开发、制造和商业化先进等离子工艺和可持续解决方案,旨在减少温室气体(GHG)和处理环境污染物。公司很高兴宣布HPQ Silica Polvere Inc.(“HPQ Polvere”)与全球专业化学品公司Evonik Corporation签署意向书(“LOI”),该公司生产多种高性能材料,包括烟雾二氧化硅。HPQ Polvere今天早些时候公布了这个LOI。此声明是由HPQ Silicon Inc.(“HPQ”)宣布的,后者是HPQ Polvere的母公司。
HPQ Polvere's primary initiative is the Fumed Silica Reactor (FSR) project. PyroGenesis has been designing, engineering, and constructing this proprietary technology to convert quartz (SiO2) into fumed silica (also known as pyrogenic silica) in a single and eco-friendly step while eliminating the use of harmful chemicals generated by conventional methods. The FSR, if successful, could provide a groundbreaking contribution to the repatriation of silica production to North America.
HPQ Polvere的主要计划是Fumed Silica Reactor(FSR)项目。PyroGenesis一直在设计、工程和建造这种专有技术,以将石英(SiO2)转化为烟雾二氧化硅(也称为热氧硅),通过单一和环保的步骤,消除传统方法产生的有害化学物质。如果成功,FSR可能为硅产业重新回归北美做出突破性贡献。
PyroGenesis previously announced (in a press release dated May 30, 2024) its intent to exercise its right to convert its annual royalty rights into a 50% ownership stake of HPQ Polvere pursuant to a Design and Development Agreement. PyroGenesis has yet to provide HPQ with a notice of the execution of the conversion as the companies finalize key documentation outlining the legal parameters which would govern the relationship, including a shareholder's agreement.
PyroGenesis此前宣布(参见新闻发布于 2024年5月30日 )其意图行使把HPQ Polvere年度版税权转换成股权的权利,根据设计和开发协议持有50%的股权。随着公司完成规范管理股东关系所需的主要文件,包括股东协议,PyroGenesis尚未向HPQ提供转换执行通知。
As stated in HPQ's news release of earlier today, the objective of the LOI is to outline the basis of a collaboration with Evonik during the FSR pilot scale phase with the goal to validate the ability of the FSR to produce low-cost, low carbon material acceptable to Evonik's specifications. Evonik has already confirmed that HPQ Polvere's first-generation samples are acceptable to Evonik. The intent is to scale up the current process and confirm that the material produced continues to meet Evonik's criteria.
如HPQ今日公布的新闻发布所述,此LOI的目的是概述与Evonik的合作基础,以在FSR中试验阶段期间验证FSR能否生产出可被Evonik接受的低成本、低碳材料。Evonik已经确认HPQ Polvere的第一代样品是符合其标准的。这意味着将扩大目前的生产过程,以确认生产材料仍然符合Evonik的标准。
"Today's news announcing the signing of a letter of intent with Evonik is another step towards confirming the unique potential for the FSR, a ground-breaking technology and process that our engineers developed with both environmental and commercial considerations in mind," said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. "We look forward to engaging with Evonik and HPQ as the process moves forward."
“今天的新闻宣布与Evonik签署意向书,这是确认FSR具有独特潜力的又一步,这是我们的工程师在考虑环境和商业问题的条件下开发的突破性技术和工艺,”PyroGenesis的总裁兼首席执行官P. Peter Pascali说。“我们期待随着进程的推进与Evonik和HPQ展开合作。”
Fumed silica is a moisture-absorbing white microstructure powder with high surface area and low bulk density. Used most often as a thickening agent, anti-caking agent, and stabilizer to improve the texture and consistency of products, the commercial applications of fumed silica can be found in many industries across thousands of product lines, including – but not limited to – personal care, powdered food, pharmaceuticals, agriculture (food & feed), adhesives, paints, sealants, construction, batteries and automotive.
烟雾二氧化硅是一种吸湿的微结构白色粉末,具有高表面积和低堆积密度。在许多行业的数千个产品线中,商业应用范围广泛,最常用作增稠剂、防结剂和稳定剂,可在个人护理、粉末食品、药品、农业(食品和饲料)、粘合剂、油漆、密封剂、建筑、电池和汽车等行业找到。
The fumed silica market, valued at US$1.3 billion in 2022, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% to reach US$2.1 billion by 2032. Fumed silica sales accounted for almost 23% of the global specialty silica market at the end of 2021.1
烟雾二氧化硅市场2022年市值为13亿美元,预计2022年至2032年CAGR为5%,达到21亿美元。烟雾二氧化硅销售占全球专用二氧化硅市场的近23%,截至2021年底为止。1
PyroGenesis' involvement in developing fumed silica from quartz is part of PyroGenesis' three-tiered solution ecosystem that aligns with economic drivers that are key to global heavy industry. High-purity silicon is part of PyroGenesis' Commodity Security & Optimization tier, where the recovery of viable metals and the optimization of production to increase output helps to maximize raw materials and improve the availability of critical minerals. Silicon has been identified as a critical mineral by many governments worldwide.
PyroGenesis开发从石英中提取烟雾二氧化硅的行动是其《大型工业化》计划的一部分,该计划与全球重工业的经济驱动因素相一致。高纯度硅是PyroGenesis《商品安防-半导体》和《兴业证券-板块》层的组成部分,在其中,回收可用金属和优化生产以增加产量有助于最大化原材料并提高重要矿物质的可用性。硅已被许多国家政府确定为关键矿物。三层解决方案生态系统PyroGenesis Canada Inc.是一家高科技公司,是先进等离子工艺和可持续解决方案的设计、开发、制造和商业化的领先者,旨在降低温室气体(GHG)并经济有吸引力地替代传统“肮脏”工艺。PyroGenesis已经创建了专有、专利和先进的等离子技术,并已经被多个数十亿美元的行业领导者验证和采用,涉及四个巨大的市场:铁矿球团化、铝、废物处理和增材制造。PyroGenesis的工程师、科学家和技术人员在其蒙特利尔办公室,以及其3,800平方米和2,940平方米的制造设施工作,通过始终处于技术开发和商业化的前沿来保持其竞争优势。该公司的运营已经取得了ISO 9001:2015和AS9100D认证,并从1997年起就已获得ISO认证。更多信息,请访问:。
