Ministry Secretary Chen Yanhai the 8th of raw materials at the Fifth Baotou Rare Earth Industry Forum, said the illegal mining of rare earth production is still relatively rampant, seriously affecting the entire development of rare earth industry in the first half of rare earth industry realized profits of only 2 billion yuan .
China Rare Earth Association Secretary-General Ma Rongzhang recommendations Rare black chain set up to combat long-term mechanism, the establishment of rare earth on the downstream corporate strategic cooperative partnership. He said the association will be completed before the end of the rare earth industry development plan for the medium and long term.
This year the situation is not optimistic about the industry
Marong Zhang told the China Securities Journal reporter, in 2012 the South Total rare earth minerals mandatory plan was 13,400 tons; According to association statistics, Southern rare earth mine in 2012 to produce at least 3.7 million tons. Which can be introduced, the South separated ion ore smelting enterprises to obtain more than 70% of unknown origin. He said that the rare earth black chain rampant, that illegal enterprises that difficult, difficult to combat illegal mining, profit-driven and serious local protectionism.
This year the situation is not optimistic. The first half of smelting and separation of rare earth minerals and product yield, respectively 41,000 tons and 35,000 tons, plans to complete in the first half for 87% and 78%, to achieve industry profit of about 20 million. Chen Yanhai said that although the first half of the demand has been warmer, but considering the first half of the indicators have been completed more than half of the earth, the overall industry performance is expected this year will be a sharp decline.
"At present, most enterprises are facing losses, some companies are partially stopped, the industry generally reflect a lack of confidence. Several elements price increases can not make up the market's overall decline, the market is the purchasing power of the status quo is not busy, the transaction is insufficient." Ma Rongzhang also holds same view.
Overcapacity is the main reason for the poor performance of the rare earth industry. China Rare Earth Association, Gan Yong said that at present, China's rare earth permanent magnet materials production capacity of 300,000 tons, annual output of 80,000 tons, less than 30% capacity utilization.
"At present, apart from rare earth catalytic material is not excessive, the others are surplus." Zhang Zhong, general manager Baotou Steel Rare Earth more direct road.
Rare park development disorder causes excess production capacity further. Marong Zhang told the China Securities Journal reporter, since 2010, many areas of rare earth park planning and construction, the country has about 18 rare earth industrial park. The park planning similar, and many more resources as the core, to the midstream and downstream industry chain extension.
Should regulate rare earth production and management
Ma Rongzhang revealed that the association will on China's rare earth resources, production, marketing, policy, environmental, and other aspects of the application on the basis of full investigation, resource-based enterprises as the core, market-oriented, China's rare earth industry put forward long-term development plan, promote the sustained and healthy development of China's rare earth industry. The plan is expected to be completed by the end of the year prepared.
Marong Zhang said that to coordinate supply and demand, promote consumption, should be established on the downstream corporate strategic cooperative partnership. Association will strengthen cooperation with relevant industry associations, has been established with hydrogen, light function, polishing, catalyst club and soon to be established and rare earth permanent magnet alloy club to promote RE in the automotive, wind power, white goods applications in the field, to create Rare application platform. Guide enterprises to increase R & D, design and manufacturing capabilities, and promote the development of rare earth materials and applications.
The current situation for the industry, Ma Rongzhang suggestions: Rare regulations as soon as possible, a clear main responsibility to establish long-term mechanism to regulate rare earth production and business activities; soon comprehensive recycling programs for rare earth waste to be sorted out, combining guidance, regional planning, establishment of regional recycling center, waste disposal companies standardize rare earth production and business activities, incorporating industry regulatory aspects; strongly promote balanced use of rare earths, particularly lanthanum, cerium and other elements of an annual surplus surplus 3-5 tons, should be encouraged to lanthanum, cerium in the field of environmental protection, structural materials application; take the severity of other ways, focusing on heavy rare earth export controls, light rare earth production gradually liberalized mandatory plan and supporting the introduction of appropriate management measures; phasing lanthanum, cerium export quotas, to encourage a large number of export lanthanum, cerium and other surplus elements, the international market; adjust the resource tax, in order to strengthen the international position of China's rare earth industry; formulate relevant legal system reserves of rare earth, rare earth reserves established classification management system.
