Why rare earth recycling and what we can do very little?

Ear , touch screen , as well as energy-saving lamps warm glow , rechargeable batteries and electric windows: Most of us think of these things for granted. This group of elements known as rare earth metals, their special electronic and magnetic properties make it an important part of the 21st century, many new materials technology. This 17 elements are actually rich enough , some may have in your backyard , but apart from a few deposits, their low level of enrichment that exist in nature , which makes them difficult to exploit and separation. Since they are part of the growing demand for mobile phones , hard drives , hybrid cars , wind turbines , etc. So rare earth metals prices also facing the situation .

In 2010, Chinese production and supply of about 97 percent of the world's demand for rare earths , when the country's decision to limit exports , so that the rare earth prices skyrocketing .

"Some of the rare earth prices rose more than 2,000% , " recently resumed production staff Molycorp 's rare earth mine in California , said Jim . RE prices are now down, but now volatility is not - ? ? Largely be attributed to re- Morley ore mined and around the world began to produce rare earth person. However , after this rare skyrocketing , businesses and countries are doing their utmost to ensure that their terms have enough rare earth supply channels .

You might think them back from the product of rare earth mining easier than from the ground , but it is not as easy as it sounds . Because of the importance of these products for modern life ? ? , The world's governments are investing funds for research to find a more viable recovery methods . Some companies have found that recycling of rare earth research is worthwhile. However, the recovery of rare earth elements such as recycled glass or plastic is not as easy as in almost every level have encountered challenges.

In one aspect, the use of a smaller number of elements in some products , such as mobile phones . Because the device to use smaller and smaller , the amount of material is also getting smaller and smaller , such as mobile phone touch screen , which is a rare earth element in the molecular scale to distribution.

Ames , Iowa , a key director of Ames Laboratory 's Materials Research Institute Alex King pointed out , " is actually a more difficult recovery from electronic products " , the Institute is a U.S. "Innovation Center" Energy investment important research task is how to ensure that the five countries that are important to combat the supply of rare earth metals , " we all have cell phones, you can deduct the original battery , which may be recycled maximum target. With the development of smart phones , batteries tend not to set out, at least not easily removed.

Mobile typically recovered by crushing , crushing and grinding to a powder for this process . The powder will then be divided into parts or discarded recyclable parts. But the new phones currently in use are more than ever an element , usually a total of 65 kinds of elements of a cell phone . ( For ease of comparison , all typically used in the industrial production of about 85 kinds of elements ) . This makes the powder composition is more complex than the old phone, is difficult to separate . "In contrast, much simpler than the recovery of rare earth from your old phone to be mined from the ore , the" Ames Laboratory Alex Gold said.

In order to separate these materials are often meant to be " very aggressive solvents or high temperature molten metal processing ," this is not so simple , " Yale University industrial ecologist Thomas Graedel said.

Because the material is too much trouble or need a lot of energy , and in some cases there is a greater recycling potential environmental hazards than when mined . "It needs to be analyzed through the case , to determine whether a given product is a good recycling target ," Graedel said.

Prejudice to a recent study is to calculate the recovery of the computer's hard drive with the same amount of raw materials mined rare earth neodymium energy use and the environment. Through the experiment, the toxicity produced by recycling toxic than mining resulting score was 80 percent lower parts , while energy use is reduced by 60 %. However , Graedel that , "This example is used in the recovery of the alloy in the form of a neodymium magnet . " And this application if it is used as a glass colorant it needs to be reduced to elemental form , which will require more resources.

In the researcher Benjamin Sprecher 's your behalf , in Delft, the Netherlands Institute for Materials Innovation also found chopped hard drive recovery will lead to the loss of 90% neodymium . " Because a lot of material loss arising on the shredding , and raises serious doubts to " crush " this as a practical way of recovery , " the researchers wrote. They suggested that the recovery of the hard drive is to use the manual removal way to do to solve this problem.

Market demand for rare earths in 2018 reached 190,000 tons?

RNR U.S. market research firm recently released a study of the rare earth market trends report , " 2018 rare earth market ( lanthanum , cerium, neodymium , praseodymium , samarium, europium , and other elements ) and its applications ( permanent magnets , metal alloys, polishing powder , additives , catalysts, phosphors , and other areas ) of global trends and forecasts . "

According to the report, from 2013 to 2018 , the rare earth metals market demand will grow at a CAGR of 9% . To 2018 to reach 192,000 t REO.

The report concluded that the rare earth market growth drivers are current and emerging application areas of high demand for rare earth metals , as well as clean energy and clean technology in the growing demand for rare earth elements in the current governments actively promoted and driven . The development of green energy technologies and devices will drive the development of rare earth market .

But they also believe that factors that influence the development of rare earth market price fluctuations in raw materials and rare earth rare earth minerals illegal mining.

Due to China's rapid economic development , the Asia-Pacific region is the largest regional consumer of rare earth materials . China rare earth consumption accounts for more than 60 % of the world , followed by North America and Europe.

The report also believes that the rare earth recycling is one of the most effective ways to reduce the amount of rare earth mining , the current recovery rate of less than 1% of the rare earth elements , there is a great future development opportunities and space.

Infineon developed without the use of rare earth magnets motor inverter-integrated EV

Participation in research projects of high efficiency motors , Infineon , Siemens , ZF and Dresden University of Technology and other "MotorBrain", announced in the " Hannover Messe (HANNOVER MESSE)" on on April 8, 2014 , developed inverter-integrated electric vehicle (EV) motor .

MotorBrain dominant at Infineon , there are 30 companies and organizations in Europe nine countries participated , from the autumn of 2011 in order to improve EV travel distance and security, reduce dependence of rare earth research carried out for the purpose .

The development of the motor to the motor , gear and rolled into the inverter to achieve miniaturization, and does not use rare earths. The inverter motor against the side of the cylindrical formed integrally with the integrated motor . Size develop products only in 2011 that the project was originally developed products of 3/ 4 , can be placed in an ordinary tablet PCs and notebook backpack . The overall weight of less than 77kg, 90kg reduced than the original 13kg or more.

Due to reduced size and weight , EV can achieve miniaturization and efficiency , with a power output of 60kW for the motor in the car , charging time can travel a distance comparable to the current estimate of the average EV 150km extension of 30 ~ 40km.

Without using an expensive rare earth materials, is one of its characteristics. Development of products using the cheap but less than the magnetic properties of rare earth ferrite magnets, allegedly to compensate for the weakness is not strong magnetic motor rotor speed is increased by increasing the output power.

Nonferrous Metals Industry Association vice president: China will actively responding to rare earth litigation

By the end of March , the World Trade Organization ( hereinafter referred to as : WTO) announced the United States , European Union, Japan v. China rare earth, tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related to the case of the panel report , ruled that the export control measures Chinese products involved violations. In accordance with WTO rules , the panel report released in 60 days , the parties may appeal .

The news came out , they were highly concerned about the business and the media , affected by the news , China's A -share market in a number of listed companies in the rare earth industry stock prices fell for several days .

As of yesterday , the news release has been in the past 26 days , from 60 days to appeal the WTO rules the time draws near, our measures will have to deal with it ?

April 16 , China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association vice president and secretary Jia Ming Star , again against the WTO ruled that China rare earth, tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related to the case of non-compliance regarding publicly said that at present , the Chinese government is actively responding to , aspects of non-ferrous metals associations are doing a lot of research work, and the relevant departments of the Chinese government is to discuss and strive to propose solutions.

Programs are research seminars in

After China loses WTO announced that China's rare earth Association official says that China will actively respond to prepare the above , at present, around rare earth exports, many domestic point of view is not one, and some experts believe that the light rare earths and heavy rare earth exports should distinguish , let the light rare earth exports, and increase efforts to protect the heavy rare earths .

Nevertheless, some experts believe that the United States and Europe and other countries on the proceedings of rare earth trade, essentially unbearable Chinese rare earth export prices artificially high, rather than the quota system itself. He pointed out that from 2011 to 2013 of China's rare earth export quotas are not exhausted, the impact of foreign demand for rare earth quotas absence .

Data show that in 2011 China's rare earth export quotas only took 52.01 percent in 2012 was only 48.75% , while in 2013 the total export quota of 24,000 tons of rare earth , rare earth export quota for the year's actual physical product was only 22,900 tons , do not run out.

And in any case, at present , China has decided to actively litigation. Jia Ming Star yesterday also said that the Chinese government and the Ministry of Commerce is actively responding . "Although the WTO panel ruled that China is currently losing initially , but their production and management of Chinese rare earths is still recognized , but the reason for the management of rare earths , the purpose is to protect resources , protect our environment, because travel resources is the wealth of all mankind . "

He said that at present there is a dispute of our country and other countries where rare earth quotas and tariff management approach , the other countries believe that these two do not meet the WTO requirements. As Nonferrous Metals Association , is working with the Ministry of Industry , Development and Reform Commission , Ministry of Environmental Protection positive discussions, set out for the early , consistent with relevant WTO trade rules , and consistent with our domestic rare earth macro-management measures can also bear fruit . Meanwhile, as Nonferrous Metals Association , is currently doing a lot of research work, but also to appoint the chairman of the State Nonferrous Metals Association, Chen whole lot of research work led training , the Association also made a lot of aspects of the program , is to discuss and intergovernmental sectors .

But when the timetable for the introduction of the respondent or related measures , Jia Ming Star did not specify .

Enterprise mood disturbed

Winning or losing is not yet known whether or not the respondent , and as most directly related to the interests of the enterprise side , the mood was very disturbed .

"If the export quotas and tariff reduction , the price of rare earths will drop , which may lead to re-shuffle the industry enterprises . "There are rare corporate stakeholders told reporters pointed out .

He believes that the good news is that after the release of rare earth exports , with the decline in the cost of Chinese overseas orders will increase. In addition, the low tariffs or to squeeze the living space of the smuggling business , big business more profitable for the formal . The short term, foreign markets because consumer demand is likely to increase the price downward , can stimulate domestic enterprises rebound in exports , is expected to alleviate the shortage of rare earth related products demand pressures.

From rare earth production and operation and long-term perspective, the impact of rare earth export policy adjustment is not the key reason for the industry operating order. Excessive exploitation of rare earth bring supply and demand imbalance , excess capacity, low industry concentration , resource potential illegal violations , lack of domestic enterprises and technological innovation, low-end chain is a major problem plagued the development of China 's rare earth industry . Therefore, if the award can boost our long-term governance of violations, enhance domestic and foreign demand , the upgrading of industrial technology, the industry's long-term good business .

In fact , for many years China's rare earth export restrictions limited to raw materials, functional materials exported to downstream devices and applications , such as no restrictions . At present, China 's rare earth export more products to materials, device -based, so the WTO against the export of such products are not affected.

It is understood that actively prepare after losing a few companies , the means are different. Baotou Steel Rare Earth , said the person in charge has ruled against the State designated lead for leading the restructuring of large enterprise groups will not cause too severely affected. The official said that the best response is to clear away the obstacles in the process of mergers and acquisitions , to allow more companies to participate in the restructuring , rare earth materials production enterprises to expand the scope of the merger , after all, Baotou Steel Rare Earth Mineral Resources have upstream control advantage, competitive opponents are mainly exported after the release of foreign enterprises .

Some rare earth oxide, praseodymium, neodymium down businesses offer, call terbium oxide

RE market is still relatively calm , some businesses slightly lowered quote praseodymium neodymium products , the market traded tepid . Traders optimistic about the market outlook will be upside terbium oxide , offer steady increase slightly , very price will is strong.

There are two days to reflect neodymium oxide, praseodymium suppliers offer slightly down, with no ticket price down to 280,000 last week, a relative / t , with a ticket price dropping steadily , have reduced the range of about $ 5,000 / ton, the current neodymium oxide, praseodymium with votes 32.5-33 yuan / ton. Praseodymium , neodymium metal markets around before the two-day offer in 425,000 yuan / ton price merchants slight pullback to 42 yuan / ton, according to a factory in Ganzhou area does not reflect transaction prices pulled back slightly because of the emergence of a significant improvement .

Terbium oxide market , traders slightly Inquirer two days , with the intention of terbium oxide low market purchases , to prevent the risk of decline in value of the market outlook , the weight of the lower purchase price . Now there are other traders also reflect less inventory , based on the expected bullish , slightly raised over the previous quote . According to local manufacturers Ganzhou reflect now on the market liquidity of terbium oxide reduced the price of the latter is more likely .

Rare cases from China international preliminary examination results came out already too big and a half months in the first instance judgment basis of China 's rare earth export violations , the U.S. insatiable, continue to appeal more likely to appeal against the country in the near future . Nearly half months to market participants on the case concerned the heat is still high, many businesses will have their own expectations outlook , the whole advantage of this opportunity , rare earth prices will rise in the market is still expected . With the recent push for now the case , with some of the industry reflects the purchasing and storage or to perform later this month , during which prices fell sharply rare earth space is limited. Although the demand for partial light , but the recent praseodymium , neodymium , erbium, gadolinium does not fluctuate significantly more than the price , but also by market expectations and see attitude of support.

Rare deal with the dispute should return to the original intention of protecting natural resources and the environment

In contrast, the price adjustment method is more preferable , as long as the resource tax and environmental taxes can be high enough to compensate for the cost of resources and the environment , there are naturally competitive enterprises can obtain the corresponding market share, but this approach can also resource and environmental costs transfer to the international market prices to suppress international market demand for Chinese rare earth.

March 26 , World Trade Organization (WTO) panel report released ruled export tariffs on Chinese rare earths, tungsten, molybdenum related products taken quota management measures violate WTO regulations. Since March 13, 2012 the United States , European Union, Japan will export tariffs Chinese rare earth, tungsten, molybdenum related products , export quotas and export quota management and allocation measures to resort to WTO dispute settlement mechanism to date, has lasted more than two years , which a first trade dispute involves four global economy temporarily come to an end . In accordance with WTO procedures , China still has the right to appeal , and delayed several months , but the results may not change the General Assembly .

The rare earth export dispute sparked widespread concern at home and abroad , but the trade point of view is somewhat surprising. In 2012, China 's rare earth export less than $ 1 billion , and exports the same year, China socks over 4 billion U.S. dollars . Obviously , only from the point of view of trade , rare earth almost not worth mentioning. However , due to the particularity of Chinese dominance in the rare use of rare earth reserves , which from the outset, since the dispute was given a lot of significance beyond trade .

In fact , our country is not as outsiders imagine that the supply of rare earth have absolute control . On the one hand , the rare earth is irreplaceable been overestimated or overstated , after China began from rare earth export restrictions , some countries have developed a number of alternative materials or reduce the use of rare earth. Meanwhile, other countries have enormous reserves of rare earth , while there are many undiscovered rare earth reserves. In other words , the reason for the past 20 years , 90% of the world's supply of rare earths from China , just as China 's rare enough to cheap and abundant.

So, faced with this trade dispute , we should return to its trade interests friction origin , return to us repeatedly stated intention to protect resources and the environment .

From the point of view of trade , China's rare earth export controls does the use of rare earth enterprises in importing countries adversely affected. On the one hand , the export tax to make use of foreign importers and domestic rare earth enterprises are facing different prices. On the other hand , the export quota of rare earth lead to insufficient supply in the international market , increasing the cost of importing enterprises.

Indeed, from the maintenance of free trade principles of the WTO , the export duties and export quotas are not worth promoting measures, but the current WTO does not prohibit the use of export taxes , export quotas on the use is not allowed in principle , only to meet specific exception conditions before using . Country cited " GATT 1994 " exception to item 20 g as a defense that the export restriction measures taken to protect our exhaustible natural resources, but also to take measures related to domestic production or consumption.

China has a group of experts recognized the sustainable use of natural resources and China has the right to fully proved the existence of a comprehensive policy to protect rare earth resources , but is not considered necessary export quotas or illegal smuggling measures to prevent the exploitation of rare earth , can not prevent the illegal exploitation or production of rare earth domestic consumption , nothing to do with the protection of rare earth resources, it is difficult to identify Chinese exports and domestic consumption took the same restrictions .

Purely from the perspective of international law, it is difficult to deny the rationality of WTO panel analysis. In fact , such a case of deja vu . In 2009 , the United States , European Union, Mexico, the Chinese bauxite , coke, fluorspar and other nine kinds of raw materials export control measures taken to WTO. January 31, 2012 , WTO issued a report dismissing the appeal request China based on environmental or supply shortages preliminary ruling raised the export of nine raw materials, the final ruling I restriction violation . Based on the current situation, the reasonable expectation is that rare earth final decision probably will not be changed.

If so , WTO ruling will allow us inevitable , no choice , we can return to the source of production to achieve the resources and environment protection.

On China's rare earth control , the beginning of 2000 introduced a variety of measures , including enterprise integration , but the implementation of the results are poor, rare earth prices are way down . After 2009 , a substantial tightening of export quotas, export restrictions qualifications and the fight against smuggling of rare earth exports dropped significantly , prices rapidly increased, and peaked in mid-2011 . However , after the price increases , a substantial increase in production enthusiasm , stealing , smuggling is serious, the number of foreign customs statistics of rare earth imports from China is much larger than the export volume of Chinese customs statistics . Subsequently , despite declining exports of rare earth in the name , but also the corresponding rare earth prices fell sharply two-thirds.

In fact , in 2006 , China began to implement total control and management of rare earth mining , this constraint does not belong to the scope of WTO rules , entirely within our autonomy. Therefore, the future for legitimate mining companies , you can use the total control ( mining quotas ) or price adjustment ( resource tax and environmental taxes ) way . In contrast, the national trend in reducing the administrative examination and approval , the price adjustment method is more preferable , as long as the resource tax and environmental taxes can be high enough to compensate for the cost of resources and the environment , there are naturally competitive enterprises can obtain appropriate market share, and in this way can also be transmitted to the resource and environmental costs in the international market prices to suppress international market demand for Chinese rare earth.

Must see , another problem is that China's rare earth industry , there are many illegal miners , this price adjustment method is powerless, forced to rely on government , depending on our determination and ability to perform , the test of the government's wisdom.
