Late July to early August continuous rain, the small peak upstream of the reservoir into the illegal exploitation of rare earth wastewater reservoir, causing serious pollution of the reservoir is caused fish cage culture in reservoirs sudden mass death. The Lung Fu Fangchenggang in Guangxi rural small peak reservoir is Fangchenggang source of drinking water for hundreds of thousands.

Guangxi Fangchenggang City-City small peak reservoir cage farmers Chenshi Wu said, the morning of August 1, and as usual he came home in the reservoir of the growth of the fish cages view and found that the color of the water around the cage into a meter White, feed the fish when the fish are not grazing, irritability, and the emergence of fewer deaths.

"I thought it was a lack of oxygen, oxygen immediately to the fish, but not close to the fish aerator, scurrying around, and even jump out cages." Chenshi Wu said he immediately reported to the relevant departments, the night, anti-urban environmental protection, animal husbandry and aquaculture other departments came to the scene view the situation, and the next morning on the water and fish samples for testing. The next few days, Chenshi Wu and the other two reservoirs middle of farmers over 30 cages in the tens of thousands of tail grass carp, carp, tilapia, have died.

"Here we are far from a rare earth mine, we suspect that is where the effluent discharged from the poisoned our fish." Chenshi Wu said he had to rare earth mining area and found that flow out of the sewage color is beige, and These sewage without any treatment, discharged directly into canals and reservoirs connected.

For reasons of dead fish, Fangchenggang-City Aquatic Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau responded that the sampling inspection by experts, preliminary determination small peak reservoir with dead fish incident was caused due to the outbreak of fish disease disaster events. The main reason is the grass carp hemorrhage induced by long-term feeding high-protein feed, or other low-quality feed, and the recent climate change causes such as the water temperature is too high.

When a reporter asked whether the incidence of fish associated with water pollution, the anti-urban fisheries technology extension Zhanfuzhanchang Lingzong Fu said, according to the current understanding of the situation, there is no way to determine whether the fish deaths related to water pollution. Anti-City Aquatic Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the dead fish samples are sent to a more authoritative body for testing.

"Fangchenggang municipal environmental protection department of the reservoir of water for a number of sampling and monitoring, water quality data show a small peak various indicators have reached the surface water environmental quality class III standards, that water quality is not contaminated." Fangchenggang City urban environment Protection Bureau deputy director Jiang Wenwei said.

However, the reporter in Fangchenggang City Environmental Protection Bureau on August 12 a "small peak reservoir dead fish cages Investigation Report" to see such a statement: After investigation, the small peak around the reservoir without industrial and mining enterprises, mainly small peak reservoir pollution Field crops set a big house illegal exploitation of rare earth dens. The illegal exploitation dens disorderly discharge untreated wastewater directly into the small peak reservoir through canals, affecting small peak reservoir water quality.

For the conclusion of the fish died, farmers who do not agree. Farmers Chen said: "that is the grass carp hemorrhage, but why cages tilapia and carp also died of it? And we have given more than 2 pounds of elephant grass carp are put in long-term feeding with high protein feed or feed poor argument is not true. "

Under the guidance of the villagers, the reporter found hidden in the mountains of illegal rare earth mining sites. A creek next to the mining sites Bangshui built, the floor is marked with oxalic acid, ammonium sulfate, ammonium bicarbonate and other words of plastic bags.

"This place is flowing out of the water toxic, had previously put the fish ponds near the poisoned cattle drank the water, immediately sick." Pingmou nearby villagers told reporters that the illegal mining sites in existence for nearly three years, law enforcement agencies to combat several times, but they are re-started a few months later.

"Every time I arrived at the scene, all the staff are gone, and we can only be destroyed on-site facilities and so far, we do not know who is the organizer of the illegal mining of rare earths and the persons responsible." Fangchenggang City Land Resources Bureau Fangcheng Branch monitors battalion said exposing light vibration.

Recently held its fifth Baotou Rare Earth Forum news, at present, China's rare earth permanent magnet materials production capacity 300,000 tons, annual output of 80,000 tons, less than 30% capacity utilization. China this year is expected to reach production of rare earth permanent magnet materials 94,300 tons.

According to reports, CCID Research Institute Yuan Kaihong raw material industries, said that although China's rare earth permanent magnet production ranked first in the world, but the market share of high-performance permanent magnet materials less than 10%. Even though many provinces have the resources and core technology, it has still a lot of construction NdFeB new projects, resulting in a more serious phenomenon of homogenization of vicious competition.

China Rare Earth Association, Gan Yong called around for prudent investment in low-level permanent magnet industry, should guide investment to the use of rare earth materials, components and end products transfer, or encourage new investment and joint venture financing of existing enterprises, to avoid blindly increasing capacity.

News that China rare earth neodymium companies ready to join forces against the United States prosecute Japan's Hitachi Metals NdFeB patent "unreasonable dominate" in order to obtain the right to life.

It is reported that if all goes well, the Chinese companies involved in the prosecution list will be finalized at the end of August, the related follow-up work will also be launched in September. In the rare earth export quotas because problems caused by the World Trade Organization (WTO) lawsuit "pending" on the occasion, which again from patent litigation is likely to lead to trade shocks.

Since Hitachi Metals NdFeB patent applications in the United States, so that only Chinese companies have patents authorized to export to the U.S. market. This reporter has learned that at present, China has more than 200 NdFeB production enterprises,

However, to obtain patents Hitachi Metals NdFeB enterprises only three rings, etc. 8, and Hitachi Metals has decided not to increase the authorized number of Chinese enterprises.

If she lost the lawsuit, meaning Hitachi Metals patent continuation in the next ten years may be longer, except to obtain patents for eight domestic enterprises, other enterprises NdFeB products have become illegal exports, only in domestic sales.

Organization Chinese rare earth enterprises sue Japanese companies Hitachi Metals, the initiator of the patent monopoly, Shenyang in the north, Magnetic Technology Co., Ltd. Chairman Bao-Yu Sun told reporters, related companies have held two special meetings, estimated there will be about 10 enterprises to participate litigation. "In September we will employ both domestic and foreign lawyers in charge of this case, we present the main companies in the domestic market, probably three or four million, if we can enter the international market, the market share is expected to rise to fifty-six one hundred million yuan , or even more. "

Advanced Technology for Rare analyst Chen believes that "winning is very difficult, depending on the extension of patent applications in Japan are in line with international practice. Northwest China where most of the enterprises mainly rely on low labor costs and other resources, product quality and quality are more low, if you have been dependent on the international market, will always be controlled by others, after all, not a long-term trail. "

Chen made that "if the lawsuit fails, most of the domestic enterprises will exit the international market NdFeB, patented by the small businesses instead. NdFeB domestic market, which will lead to re-shuffle, re-distribution pattern. Who able to span the end, who will win the domestic cost of production companies tend to break the impasse, it is difficult to overcome the difficulties of producing patent. "

Investment Advisor in the metallurgical industry researcher Weiqi Ning believes that the major rare earth enterprises jointly sued Hitachi Metals practices worthy of recognition, but for now, remains to be seen whether in favor of the U.S. laws and regulations will determine the ultimate outcome.

Order Bao-Yu Sun felt a glimmer of hope that, after, Hitachi Metals in the United States launched the "337" survey, involving regular sea Magnets, etc. 3 Chinese companies, and ultimately, this three companies reached a settlement with Hitachi Metals and obtain the latter's NdFeB patent authorization. "We have about 10 companies, is still very hopeful of winning the lawsuit in Japan last one core technology patents expire in 2014, some of the remaining patent is about production methods, the basic core of a patent is not strong . "he said.
