Today reported by Yamaguchi University, University of Tokyo , Ehime University research team recently announced that they have discovered two new rare earth elements lanthanum as the main ingredient in mineral and has been recognized by the International Mineralogical Association. These two new mineral was named Ferriakasakaite-(La) and Ferriandorosite-(La).

According to Yamaguchi University associate professor of mineralogy Wing嶌Mariko introduced two new minerals in the mountains Ise, Mie Prefecture vector holding cho discovered in 2013 that they have discovered in this mineral Vanadoallanite-(La). Wing嶌also said that although this finding did not reach the standard amount of energy used in industrial production , but this finding could indicate that the likelihood of ore containing such lanthanum manganese Japanese nationwide crib is there.

March 26 , the WTO announced the United States , European Union, Japan, the prosecution panel report Chinese rare earth, tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related case , ruled that China's export management measures violations. This lost, determine the root cause of the failure of years ago , nationalism and international political factors are not the simple .

Reflect the current domestic parties , it is domestic units WTO rules ignorance , can not make international rules for their own use . However, deeper , or some Chinese people only focus on economic interests, mobilize nationalist sentiment hastily borrowed opinion , and not the real problem as a rare view of environmental issues , there is no real shortage of rare earth really seen as a strategic resource . In fact, due to the Chinese domestic rare earth mining and consumption, did not take appropriate measures to limit and eventually become the soft underbelly of China 's rare earth litigation .

For a long time , the country has been propaganda " China as a rare big country, but can not get rare international pricing ," which is the main cause of the rare earth battle . However, the international pricing in the end rests in the hands of who ?

In recent years, due to the limited export of rare earth , rare earth prices rose as the international lead . However , a lot of smuggling , but then pulled down the international export of rare earth prices. This is because the domestic rare earth simply not due to " environmental reasons " and restricted , the price is still a " cabbage price ", and then triggered a speculative smuggling.

Sale of rare earth in China , however, want to sell at high prices in the international arena , which is entirely playing " dual pricing " monopoly doctrine . Valuable rare earth " cabbage price" to foreigners heaven tolerate , but the " cabbage price" will not be sold to domestic firms accused of it?

In front of the era of economic liberalization and WTO rules , the international and domestic markets should be treated equally. "cabbage price" of goods in large quantities in the domestic market, in the context of high economic liberalization, how can we ensure that no private inflows of foreign ? How can we ensure that this is not rare in the world , " cabbage price" ? Visible , so-called " China can not get pricing " is completely false proposition , pricing power in the hands of a group of Chinese people , is not that a group of theoretically should be.

Domestic refining rare earth mining polluted the environment , and will not be sold because the majority of domestic enterprises , mining refining is not contaminated. Rare overexploitation of resources to reserves depleted , it will not be because the majority of domestic consumption of resources is not dried up.

If you really pay attention to this strategic resource , it should eliminate from the fundamental source " cabbage price " to reduce the over-exploitation of resources , reduce waste and even excessive domestic demand , rather than blame to foreign markets. To restrict others must limit yourself . Otherwise , in the face of rare earth pollution disasters, rare earth mining mess , any measures are irrelevant , they will not be completely resolved.

Currently dysprosium products prices rose more obvious that the current market with a ticket price of dysprosium oxide generally raised over the weekend 5-10 yuan / ton, last week, according to industry business reflects the market price of 160 yuan / ton or less, the current market quoted on the raised 1.65 million yuan / ton, the higher the price rises of 10 yuan / ton. Increase in inquiries this week dysprosium oxide , businesses may indicate a situation stockpile . Minmetals Rare Earth oxides listed prices yesterday were all significantly increase, which raised to 1900 yuan / kg on the listing price of dysprosium oxide , compared with the previous day up 100 yuan / kg.

Rare earth market prices of some products appears stabilized since the signs of a rebound this week , reflecting poor business quote or offer up . Praseodymium neodymium products also rose this week, to different extents , Ganzhou area businesses reflects the transaction price is lower than last week 's 405,000 , the Monday when prices return 405,000 yuan / ton , and then as the market turned bullish expectations , supplier low shipments will have lower prices , close to the weekend , some businesses will offer up a 10,000 yuan / ton to 415,000 yuan / ton. Praseodymium , neodymium , the quotation up to the 320,000 yuan / ton and above.

Lanthanum, cerium market changes little this week , according to some Baotou and Ganzhou oxide suppliers reflect the basic price of the last two weeks did not how to adjust , after all, the price is very low , low profits , continue to fall, more difficult to do business . Currently 3N ceria currently with ticket prices around 2-2.2 yuan / ton , lanthanum oxide is also equal to the price. According Baotou metal lanthanum cerium suppliers reflect the current prices are still 40,000 yuan / ton , or in the lowest position . Since the Baotou Rare Earth Stock Exchange listed cerium oxide , from the transaction situation, less than normal volume , price fluctuations are less than 1 yuan / kg ( as of 14:00 ) .

Neodymium, erbium, yttrium oxide is not much change in the price of basic supplier does not reflect the substantial price adjustments , the market outlook is unclear , market transactions are now no significant improvement .

Recent World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that China 's rare earth export quota policies implemented in violation of trade rules , although China can continue to appeal, but preliminary results actually expected, little leeway appeal . The result of this lawsuit immediately raised in the country and the entire quota of rare earth rare earth industry policy controversy. According to reports, there are companies complain that a dollar of rare earth materials , domestic roughing up to sell 10 yuan , 20 yuan , made ​​after the products to Europe , it is necessary to spend 1,000 yuan to buy it back.

Rare has been our cherished resources, has proven reserves of more than 40% of the world's total reserves , Deng Xiaoping said "The Middle East has oil , China has rare earths " are often cited , but the current industrial policy and did not take to the efficient use of rare earth resources , but also did not give Chinese companies a competitive advantage internationally . Because in the global industrial chain position occupied by low-end China's rare earth export prices for low pricing , which raises the valuable resources to buy a "cabbage price" complaints.

China's rare earth industry is the external market oriented, about 60% per year of rare earth production for export, mainly to developed countries . The initial reason for setting export quotas to protect resources and regulate the export order, but not only did not play this role , but was used as a criticism of Chinese foreign and even render China " does not abide by the rules ," and even "threat " of weapons. The biggest failures of the quota system or at home. Because of the export quota of qualified enterprises rigorous audit , resulting in increased transaction costs , but also created a rent-seeking space, such as export quotas index traded prevalent. The allocation of quotas qualification there are circumstances favor state-owned enterprises , which forces those who are not qualified rare earth quota production and operation of enterprises to adopt extrajudicial methods to stimulate private indiscriminate digging and smuggling phenomenon prevalent.

As the supply of the domestic market surplus of rare earth , rare earth enterprises generally inefficient low-end competition , and scattered small-scale enterprises , and this production is accompanied by extensive environmental pollution is increasing . Theoretically, the only way is the production of rare earth industry consolidation and intensive management , to achieve industrial upgrading, only to come out of the plight of primary production resources and products , development of deep processing and high value-added products . In 2011 the State Council promulgated the " Opinions on Promoting the sustainable and healthy development of rare earth industry ," known as the " State 22 " , from the aspects of resource development, production and processing, product application , production technology, intensive development of rare earth industry to regulate rectification. However, industrial upgrading is not possible to " haste makes waste " means to achieve , but only in order to promote market-oriented approach , but also to guard against the risk of a monopoly of state-owned enterprises to integrate the name of the rare earth production, processing and exports. In the right direction is to give state-owned and private enterprises equal treatment of rare earth , encourage foreign investment in the restructuring of China 's rare earth industry , particularly in the deep-processing products and technology innovation to market its own survival of the fittest to achieve industrial integration upgrades.

According to reports, the country was initially intended to use in the WTO proceedings during the ongoing promotion of rare earth industry consolidation , to achieve greater scale and strive to improve pricing power . Industrial transformation but left less and less time . If the current supply and demand on the international market, as well as rare earth production level of Chinese enterprises, China's ability to determine the use of rare earth there is no " supply oligarchs" position to profit , it may wish to exclude the rare regarded as a valuable commodity , and seen as normal goods , cancel the artificial setting of export quotas and qualifications of enterprises , to achieve a completely open market access on rare earth exports from production to the whole industry chain , to the fierce competition in the market to stimulate all types of enterprises Lianhaoneigong achieve products and upgrading technology. After China 's rare earth industry and other really strong , and then seek to play a " rare big country" talent advantage is not to late evening .

Currently part of the rare earth market changes in product prices , such as praseodymium , neodymium , dysprosium products appear without quotation without quotation vendors have prices reflect the market trend now , so I chose to wait and see .

Baotou Rare Earth Stock Exchange listed three kinds of product prices edged up slightly as of 14:00 , 4N ceria price 19.8-20.15 yuan / kg , europium oxide 4143-4220 yuan / kg , praseodymium , neodymium 324.7-332.8 yuan / kg . Some businesses bullish oxide and praseodymium neodymium alloy that may be ushered in a wave of rising prices , foreign offer slightly slightly raised $ 5,000 / ton. There are other businesses quoted reflect no significant change in market conditions , such as a supplier Ganzhou praseodymium neodymium metal , said now quoted or 41.5 yuan / ton , no adjustments.

Recently, rumors Shouchu underway, also announced yesterday Minmetals Rare Earth oxides listed price is still significantly higher than the spot market mainstream , but that listing prices overall have relatively lower end of February , in addition to neodymium oxide, praseodymium and neodymium oxide , other multi- an oxide listing price decreased significantly. Which dysprosium oxide February 27 listing price of 200 yuan / ton, yesterday quoted price of 180 yuan / ton. About the current market dysprosia 160-165 yuan / ton. If the previous listing price came out as before , the market rebound , and that the magnitude of this market rally may be smaller . After a decline in March , many businesses reflect the business is tepid, low profitability , network transmission times before purchasing and storage negotiations fail , the rumor was underway purchasing and storage may be lost on the Chinese Rare cases of emergency response policy in a market downturn bailout .

Polynuclear rare earth compounds in organic electroluminescence , fluorescence imaging , molecular -based magnetic materials and other fields have a wide range of applications. Rare earth ions with variable high coordination number and stereochemistry of poor selectivity , pure rare earth multicore clusters , especially high nuclear cluster of Rare Earth auditors over twenty still faces enormous challenges.

Under the auspices of the Ministry of Science , " 973 " program, the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Natural Science Foundation of Fujian Province , State Key Laboratory of Structural Chemistry , Fujian Institute of Structure of Matter Hong Maochun project team led by academician at high temperatures and weak alkaline introduced under different anions as templating agent -induced hydrolysis of rare earth ions slowly got a forty-eight -core clusters of rare earth has a unique tubular structure . The cluster can be seen as consisting of two round -shaped eighteen nuclear erbium clusters and a ring of twelve nuclear erbium cluster configuration, the cluster core size is about 1.3 nm '1.3 nm' 1.0nm. Two different anions ( chloride ion and nitrate ) are formed and the second wheel eighteen core erbium -doped core ring by hydrogen bonding acting as a template . This dual role in the multi-core template anion hydrogen bonds are very rare earth compounds , relevant research results published in international academic journals Chem.Commun., The 2014 , 50, 1113-1115 .

Previously, the project team before the thirty-six nuclear synthesis of two rare earth clusters , of which 36 clusters with high nuclear gadolinium magnetic entropy change -ΔSm at 2.5K and ΔH = 7T time (39.66 J Kg -1 K-1), can be used as a potential magnetic refrigeration materials ; ac susceptibility imaginary part of thirty-six nuclear dysprosium ferromagnetic clusters with significant frequency dependence , showing the effects of single-molecule magnets , relevant research results published in international academic journals Chem. Sci., the 2013 , 4, 3104-3109 .

These findings not only provide new ideas for the synthesis of high -core clusters of rare earth , rare earth enriched research clusters , while also looking for rare earth-based functional materials open up new avenues.

Recently, foreign media constantly reports, the case against China's rare earth , especially the Western media loud cheers : This is a major victory achieved in the United States, Europe, Japan and in the case of China 's rare earths . Since March 26, 2014 , 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. EU Trade Commissioner De Gucht said: "The ruling shows that no country can hoard of rare earth from global markets, and to allow other WTO members to pay . "This means that China Rare preliminary case against the coming few months time there may be appeals . But I believe that the possibility of the case in favor of small, unless there is a miracle .

So why is so dear to America, Europe and rare ? Why China is a big country of rare earth , but not the right to speak , so lost in this case ?

Now we all know , is not only an important rare earth mineral resources , but also has important technological and military strategic significance , it is indispensable for the development of high-tech strategic resources , from smart phones to missile guidance are inseparable from the & ldquo ; industrial vitamins . " Thus , the United States , Japan and Europe so much importance to the rare earth is not unfounded . In recent years, Japan has bought a lot of the earth, not in a hurry to use, but will be kept on the seabed , to respond to future energy required . The United States is second only to China 's second largest rare earth resources in the country , but the United States does not adopt the reservoir , take not only the mining exploration strategy . According to statistics, the United States reserves of 13 million tons of rare earth , accounting for 13% of the world's rare earth reserves , while the output is zero , the necessary resources are mainly imported from China Rare Earth . Over the years, China has accounted for only 23 percent of the world's total reserves of rare earth reserve of 95% of the world supply of rare earth production , not only low prices was like " gold selling price of potatoes ," but due to the low content of mining technology , mining blind , resulting in huge domestic environmental costs. When China began to realize that the problem is serious restrictions of rare earth exports , the United States and Japan are extremely unhappy to find plenty of evidence to prosecute China , and finally as they wish, making China lost in a rare case .

It should be said that China lost quite useless in rare cases, do not lose heart very willing . On the one hand , indeed America, Europe and the leading world trade talks , in its favor ; on the other hand , we may have some problems , so people grabbed the handle.

So, in the end lost the lawsuit China where is it ? I believe that we have for the time being unfair foreign factors aside from the domestic look for reasons , largely following aspects :

First, China does not exercise effective control from the source. In China, for a long period of time due to excessive rare earth business entities , resulting in an oversupply situation , have low prices and can not control pricing between manufacturers, both domestic and foreign prices appear foreign than domestic prices , the formation of the so-called dumping behavior. But in fact , a lot of profits but ceded to others , the result is still cold outside capitalists got benefits .

Second , local governments pursue GDP performance, adopting a " fast flow of water " measures. Since a long time, the performance evaluation of local government officials primarily to measure the level of GDP , but by mid- assessment, making local governments can take " fast flow of water " measures , without considering the costs and environmental pollution control costs. Relatively easy exploitation of rare earth resources , but also to make money, no doubt a " fast flow of water ," the victim.

Third, the production and supply of domestic inconsistent. Though the integration of rare earth resources in China factory , reducing the phenomenon of chaos mining , export restrictions , but did not yield substantial reduction in domestic production of rare earth products are more in domestic supply is greater , while exports less . The problem is that after some domestic manufacturers in domestic prices for rare earth products , hands high sales in the international market . So give a wrong impression abroad , Chinese export restrictions only for the United States and Japan and other foreign capital , it is unfair implicit trade. This is also one of the losing cause.

Fourth, China lacks versed in international trade rules and negotiations senior personnel. If China can be familiar with WTO and other international trade rules , proficient in foreign languages ​​and negotiation skills , then we can also lose less experienced this frustration !

In order to avoid damage suffered major international trade friction brought to China must enhance learning , develop more advanced economic management personnel, especially versed in international trade rules and negotiations of senior personnel , so perhaps in the international negotiations will not ignorant and passive ; change or cancel the current performance evaluation mechanism , to build a long-term evaluation mechanism green ; increase the integration of rare earth resources, improve industrial concentration ; strictly limited domestic rare earth production and consumption , we must ensure that domestic rare earth production in line with the export standards abroad avoid giving others a handle .

According to media reports, the World Trade Organization (WTO) announced the United States , European Union, Japan v. China rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related to the case of the panel report , ruled that Chinese products involved export tariffs , export quotas and export quota management and distribution measures do not comply with the relevant WTO rules and China 's WTO commitments . The Chinese Ministry of Commerce said it is assessing the report panel decisions and emphasized the Chinese government still has the right to appeal to the WTO .

Existing rare earth export policy faces adjustment

Taking into account the period of about a year to protest the buffer , we may judge from 2015 , China's rare earth export policy will need to make adjustments , including export quotas and export tariffs and other policies.

We estimate the possible policy adjustments include :

1 , export quotas ;

2 , export tariffs ( the vast majority of China's exports of rare earth products currently impose a 25% export duty due to losing WTO , tariff policy after 2015 may be adjusted to 10%).

Forced industry may reserve, integration policies speed

Under the WTO against the background , we expect the Chinese government to take urgent facing the market means to replace the existing export quotas , tariffs and other means of administration of the darker color of rare earth resources in order to control the pressure , we expect the government will likely accelerate the integration of rare earth industry process , but also will put the appropriate policies in other industries ( such as purchasing and storage , hitting , etc. ) in order to cope with the negative impact of the WTO against the industry brings .

This marks the May 2011 State Department "Several Opinions on Promoting the sustainable and healthy development of rare earth industry ," presented in the rare earth industry, " 1 +3" officially becomes the current pattern of "1 +5" pattern. With the advancement of substantive consolidation , the rare earth industry, the new order is expected to make an important step . At the same time , we expect a new round of anti- rare earth industry , purchasing and storage policy may also start to address the negative impact of the WTO against the industry brings .

Concerned about the rare earth industry consolidation process

We judge this event will lead to market expectations or rare earth industry policy ( consolidation, purchasing and storage , hitting , etc. ) appear speed , proposes a focus on the rare earth industry consolidation process. But the long-term trend is still weak current industry supply and demand depends on improving relations .
