According to data recently disclosed Hohhot Customs , in 2013 , the export volume of rare earth Hohhot Customs is 5065 tons , up from 2012 , but exports fell by 50 %. Rare earth export quotas in the country , Inner Mongolia Rare Earth companies can get 25 %. Therefore , the increase in volume and a drop in price Inner Mongolia Rare Earth exports , reflecting the 2013 development of rare earth industry weakness . Since the third quarter of 2011 , Inner Mongolia 's rare earth industry as a whole showed a downward direction, specific performance prices, shrinking exports .

Analysis of the reasons for the weak , mainly affected by three factors .

First, by the impact of the black earth industry chain. In a rare earth industry conference, Secretary-General of China Rare Earth Industry Association Mayon peaks have been disclosed , it is estimated that the industry beyond the plan , unplanned rare earth production accounted for 50 % of total sales . Illegal production enterprises rely on illegal mining digging steal to get raw materials in the production process, but also to escape the regulatory environment , coupled with the sale of non-payment of taxes to rely on smuggling , the production cost is very low. Black earth industry chain to make regular product sales are sluggish , increasing the regular production difficulties and market malaise .

Secondly, the conflict intensified demand and production capacity of the weak market . The past two years , the world economic recovery is slow , demand for rare earths slowdown , the U.S., Japan , the European Union and other major importing countries continued to decrease rare earth rare earth imports. Meanwhile, after the third quarter of 2011 , the domestic rare earth sharp price increases , cost pressures forced some low-end application of rare earth out of the market . In 2012, global demand for rare earths market less than 10 tons, although in 2013 there has been a slight increase , but the increase is far from digestion of rare earth production capacity, estimated annual consumption does not exceed 20 tons. It is estimated that China's rare earth smelting and separation capacity of 320,000 tons , existing and under construction production capacity of 400,000 tons of NdFeB .

Thirdly , technological advances weaken the strength of rare earth consumption . With prices soaring in recent years, rare earth , rare earth enterprises have applied through technological innovation , or reduce the amount of rare earths , or looking for alternatives. On the rare earths market seminar held in November 2013 , insiders pointed out that , at present, is to light rare earth permanent magnet device development , although rare devices increased demand , but the demand for total rare but not synchronized growth even decreased. Rare earth permanent magnet materials are the most important areas of consumption of rare earth , which reduce the amount of rare earth , to bring pressure on the market is huge. In addition , thanks to technological advances , LED lights has replaced the trend of rare earth energy-saving lamps . LED lights are much less rare than the required three-color light , which makes the global demand for rare earth phosphors declined significantly.

Rare is a small product , not suitable for large-scale operations , Jiao Jian , general manager of CMN recently told reporters, " it is ' industrial MSG ' not ' industrial food ', with so much to get the Group may finally uncontrollable , but the state has also taken many measures , regardless of the pipe than good . "

MIIT jointly with relevant departments in Beijing held a formation of large enterprise groups rare special meeting , and plan to further strengthen the rare earth industry, mergers and acquisitions, rectification work. It was suggested that the next step will focus on supporting six companies were led to further promote mergers and acquisitions , the formation of large-scale enterprise group of rare earth , which is six enterprises including China Minmetals .

From its inception , there Minmetals Rare Earth business, was the first country operating rare earth, rare earth and first introduced to foreign companies . Where CMN is the main business segment Minmetals Nonferrous Group , under which there are currently 20 companies , of which three mining enterprises , 16 separate smelting and downstream processing enterprises , as well as a listed company .

" CMN mainly do two commodities , one is Chinese comparative lack of basic metals , such as copper , then there are relatively strong in China , this kind of goods, including tungsten, antimony and rare earths , the policy is to achieve effective integration of resources in the country the relative concentration of the right to speak . " Jiao Jian said. In the rare side, the focus of operations south CMN ionic rare earth ( heavy rare earth ) .

Compared with the traditional fluorescent marker molecule material ( such as a fluorescent dye ) , rare earth nano- conversion luminescent materials are not only high chemical stability, long fluorescence lifetimes , low potential toxicity, and because the excitation of near -infrared light having a larger optical penetration depth, no biological tissue autofluorescence of biological tissue and almost no damage and other significant advantages in biological fluorescence detection and imaging has important applications. Currently upconversion fluorescence labeling of nano materials development bottleneck problem is its low quantum yield . Conversion on improving luminous efficiency, explore new and efficient upconversion fluorescence labeling of nano materials has been the target of the focus of attention and effort , but also the availability of key materials such practical applications.

In the National Natural Science Fund for Distinguished Young and promote scientific and technological cooperation to support cross-strait joint fund , the Ministry of Science , " 863" , and major scientific instrument development projects , such as the Chinese Academy of strategic science and technology projects under the pilot , Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Chinese Academy of Sciences photoelectric materials Chemistry and Physics Laboratory research team and Chen yuan , State Key Laboratory of Structural Chemistry Huangming Dong research team , for the first time by thermal decomposition method , by injecting high-temperature coating precursor synthesized excellent luminescent properties of LiLuF4: Ln3 + core-shell structure on conversion nanocrystals . Multi-layer core-shell coating significantly improves the upconversion nanocrystals efficiency , which Er3 + and Tm3 + absolute quantum yield reached 5.0% and 7.6 % have been reported for the highest value of rare earth conversion monodisperse nanocrystals doped . Specifically , after the surface-modified nanocrystalline conversion as a fluorescent probe for high sensitivity detection of disease -specific markers . For example , the conversion of phase detection of β subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG, an important tumor marker ) detection limit of 3.8 ng / mL, with normal serum β-hCG in comparable level . In addition, the team through proof of concept experiments indicate LiLuF4 is a multifunctional nanoprobes biomarkers can be used for multi-modal biological imaging such as computed tomography (CT) imaging and targeted tumor cells convert fluorescent imaging . Recent research results related to the frontispiece (Frontispiece) published in the form of "German Applied Chemistry " magazine (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 1252-1257), and was elected a hot papers.

Previously, Chen Yuan research team made ​​object detection of tumor markers in rare earth -based nano fluorescent probes related research progress (Coord. Chem Rev, 2014, DOI: 10.1016/j.ccr.2013.11.017; Chem Soc Rev.... in 2013 , 42, 6924 ) . For example the use of ultra-small CaF2: Ce3 + / Tb3 + nano fluorescent probes to achieve a human soluble urokinase receptor tumor markers (suPAR) time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) detection (Angew. Chem Int Ed.. in 2013 , 52, 6671 ) .

Deputy Minister of Industry and Information Technology Ministry recently said Su Bo , China's rare earth industry for more than two years, according to the law of survival of the fittest market mergers and acquisitions , has been basically formed six companies led industry development pattern. Next , China will further strengthen the management of the rare earth industry , focusing on this six companies were led to further promote mergers and acquisitions , formation of large rare earth enterprise groups.

Su Bo said rare earth management will fully play a decisive role in the allocation of resources in the market , business-oriented , diversified investment, market -oriented operation ; played the role of good government , a combination of economic , technical, legal and necessary administrative means to eliminate institutional mechanisms obstacles , make the best use to promote mergers and acquisitions, corporate formation of both internal incentive , another external regulatory policy system of accountability to promote mergers and acquisitions changed from "Let me rephrase " to " I want to reorganization ."

Su Bo said that the rare earth industry mergers and acquisitions work must be clear responsibility of the government , enterprises and departments. Local governments should establish coordination mechanisms play a decisive role of the market in resource allocation , and mergers and acquisitions in the region of unified planning work ; remove institutional hurdles , and resolutely combat illegal rare earth mining, production and circulation behavior ; coordinating off, converting, personnel placement , maintenance of major issues of social stability , and support for the central enterprises and other groups to carry out cross-regional mergers and acquisitions work . Led enterprises to earnestly implement the integration , commitment to corporate consolidation, employee relocation , debt disposal , financial compensation and other liability ; clear equity relationships , improve corporate governance structure ; strict implementation of the management system of the country , together with other groups to maintain market order and the industry as a whole interests.

Foreign media said the Chinese air defense identification zone designation of the East China Sea , Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited the Yasukuni Shrine end of 2013 , China was seen as synonymous with the risk of " rare earth" but did not become a topic. Is the crisis really disappear?

According to " Japanese Economic News " reported that by mid-September 2010, the Diaoyu Islands waters collision , China played the diplomatic card, cut off exports to Japan of rare earths. Since nearly 90 % of the demand dependent on Chinese rare earth supply shortages in Japan immediately , industry into great confusion . Rare earth supply shortage until the summer of 2011 , prices have soared several times.

In the interests of drivers , the United States , Canada, Australia and other countries to develop rare earth set off a craze . Japanese companies are also accelerating the diversification of procurement channels . Sojitz company began in the fall of 2013, imports of rare earths from Australia. Toyota Tsusho Corporation also plans 2014 production of rare earth in India.

Reported that through their own efforts to overcome the crisis in Japan seems to behave more and more powerful. However , Extraordinary Professor Institute of Industrial Science , University of Tokyo Toru Okabe said: " When Japanese companies grabbed the soft underbelly of China sourcing rare condition is still not changed. "

Reported that the misunderstanding lies in the "rare earth " is a general term . Although called "rare earth " Overall, it subdivided it can be divided into light rare earths and heavy rare earths , the former can be extensively mined in the world to which the stock rarely , is a veritable " rare earths " , two add up to a total of 17 kinds of persons . After the collision , the Japanese instead of Chinese from all over the world to find procurement channels mainly light rare-earth . Heavy rare earth rare earth remains the same is known almost entirely dependent on China .

Reported that representatives of heavy rare-earth is " dysprosium ." High-performance magnets mounted on hybrid and electric vehicles , in order to high temperature, it can not be separated , " Di ." By upgrading technology , although you can reduce the amount of vehicle , but with the popularity of electric cars , the total will be difficult to reduce .

Heavy rare earths outside of China in opening up the market , the company plans to Sumitomo imported from Kazakhstan , but has not had the goods. If Chinese exports interrupted for some reason , then, Japan does not ensure a steady supply .

Reported that the light rare-earth there are certain risks. Glass grinding need to use " cerium " because China banned exports after the collision , " cerium " Japan has popularized the alternative polishing method , the usage is also significantly reduced. However, the lighter rare earth mining out of the mixture, about half of the " cerium ." If miners produced according to the most " cerium " sales while reducing production plan, then a mine produced from the same raw materials , high-performance magnet " neodymium " liquidity optical lens materials " La " will be reduced .

Government source said: " As the saying goes , a good pain is forgotten . Dependent on China 's sense of crisis has been weak. Abe would like to take the opportunity to visit the Yasukuni Shrine again sounded the alarm . "

Reported that the industry strongly hope to achieve a balance between supply and demand of rare earth , Sino-Japanese relations as soon as possible to stabilize.
