This invention discloses a flash metallurgical system based on photothermal power generation and photolysis hydrogen production. The photolysis hydrogen production system collects solar energy and produces hydrogen through photolysis of water. The flash smelting system uses the hydrogen produced by the photolysis hydrogen production system to smelt metals. The integrated compressed air energy storage and generation system generates electricity through a turbine air generator to power the flash smelting system. The automatic control system uses a PLC programmable logic controller to coordinate and control the photolysis hydrogen production system, the flash smelting system, and the integrated compressed air energy storage and generation system. This system mainly uses a high-temperature molten salt reactor as the direct heat source for flash metallurgy. The photolysis hydrogen production system produces the hydrogen required for the metal reduction reaction, eliminating the dependence of metal smelting systems on traditional fossil fuels and enabling more efficient and high-quality completion of the metal smelting process. The use of compressed air energy storage and a turbine air generator system replaces the traditional steam power generation system, reducing dependence on water resources.
