Brazil plans big money in the dream rare accomplishment

According to German media reports, for the industry, it is already an indispensable raw material. Production of mobile phones, computers, flat panel displays when they need it: rare earth metals. Taking into account the rising prices of rare earth, Brazil, the South American country despite emerging risks, ready to restart rare earth mining.

China's rare earth mining currently accounts for 95% of the global total. The early 1990s, rare earth prices decline, Brazil ceased mining operations. The current situation has been different, rare earth prices have rebounded,

The Brazilian government plans over the next four years, investing heavily in rare earth mining. The Senate announced the establishment of the relevant committee of experts. Responsible Silveira Members (LuizHenriquedaSilveira) believe that the next 30 years will bring up rare earth trade 20 billion euros in revenue.

Include 17 kinds of rare earth chemical elements, including lanthanum and europium. For the industry, these heat-resistant materials valuable. In modern environmental technology areas, such as wind power or electric automobile manufacturing process, these rare earth raw materials are essential. For the electronic equipment manufacturing industry is also true. However, exploitation of these raw materials, it would also have a serious impact on the environment.

Rare earth metal is dispersed in the other substances present in nature there are no pure rare earth metal. Its mining process is very complex and must be acidic or alkaline substances to complete separation through several refining processes. In this process, will produce radioactive substances and other environmentally hazardous substances. The whole process is so special, so this Brazilian Government considers it necessary to promulgate special regulations.

Not long ago, the Brazilian Mining Technology Center (CTM) again on the rare earth mining risk warning. University of Brasilia geologist Broadbent (JoséAffonsoBrod) revealed that for the world's many businesses, complex rare earth mining process is a difficult problem. "This is why many countries to abandon the mine, decided to long-term causes of rare earth imports from China."

Brazil is not the only one spotted the rare earth mining in the country. Hannover German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Raw Materials published data show that the world's total of 36 countries, more than 400 organizations will also eyeing rare earths. Experts expect that this situation will reduce the trade in rare earth people imagine huge profits.

So, Broder think the Brazilian government's plan was too optimistic: "The problem is that the entire market size is very small. Annual demand that is about 130 tons." If there are too many countries to join the ranks of rare earth producer prices may be substantially reduced.
