Catalyst of rare earth lanthanum cerium content increased positive

China Rare Earth Industry Association Secretary-General Ma Rongzhang at the Seventh International Symposium on Rare Earth Development and Application of the second session of China Rare Earth Summit revealed, PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC hope and rare earth industry, the midstream establish long-term strategic partnership to enhance lanthanum, cerium in the petroleum cracking catalysts in the content.

"Three barrels of oil" Improving lanthanum cerium in the amount of oil catalytic cracking agent, on the middle reaches of the rare earth industry is a great good. Insiders said that at present, China's rare earth industry overcapacity situation rendered increasingly prominent, businesses large losses, operating rate of less than 30%, especially lanthanum, cerium and other elements of an annual surplus of excess 3-5 tons.

According to the China Securities Journal reporter, the current A-share listed companies Sheng and Xiamen Tungsten resources and intends to enter the field of rare earth catalysts.

Lanthanum cerium surplus will intensify

"A substantial increase in production capacity, rampant illegal enterprises, coupled with weaker demand at home and abroad, multiple factors have contributed to the domestic rare earth product prices fall, production and operation of the deteriorating situation." A company official said rare earths.

About our existing more than 120 rare earth enterprises, annual production capacity of rare earth oxide equivalent of up to 320,000 tons, coupled with foreign enterprises device production, market supply far exceeds about 12 million tons per year of total world demand.

The latest global rare earth industry research data show that there are nearly 40 foreign countries, more than 200 companies planning more than 500 rare earth projects, which the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Kyrgyzstan and other 15 countries, more than 40 Rare Earth project progress rapidly. After 2015, only the United States and Australia rare earth companies to meet global market demand outside China.

"At present, lanthanum, cerium surplus 30,000-50,000 tons per year, foreign rare earth project put into operation, lanthanum, cerium and more will exacerbate the oversupply situation." Rare-Earth general manager Zhang expressed.

Statistics show that U.S. rare earth rare earth catalytic materials accounted for 57.6% of the total volume, while China is about 15%. Insiders pointed out that the high price of rare earth rare earth prompted users to find alternative products and alternative technologies, dramatically reduced the demand for rare earth products, but also reduces the dependence on rare earth production, which is caused by the rare earth industry overcapacity main reason.

Forced saving and environmental protection

Marong Zhang said that China needs to use 18-20 million tons of oil annually cracking catalyst, according to internationally accepted petroleum cracking catalysts lanthanum, cerium content of 4% -6% of the standard, an annual lanthanum, cerium amount of about 0.8-1.2 tons. However, due to soaring prices of rare earth in 2011, China's petroleum cracking catalysts lanthanum, cerium amount greatly reduced, resulting in high PM2.5. Accompanies the implementation of Euro V standards of refined oil, "three barrels of oil" need to re-raise lanthanum, cerium in the amount of oil catalytic cracking agent, which is rare on the middle reaches of great good.

Currently, petroleum cracking catalyst zeolite is used in catalytic material earth. Industry experts said the use of rare earth in the petroleum industry for petroleum cracking catalyst zeolite catalysts, can greatly improve the conversion rate of the cracking of crude oil to increase the yield of gasoline and diesel fuel. In actual use, the crude oil conversion rate of 35% to 40% to 70% to 80%, gasoline yield increased by 7% to 13%. The use of rare earth catalytic cracking zeolite catalysts for oil, with crude oil processing capacity, light oil yield, product quality, high activity, coke rate, catalyst, low loss, good selectivity.

Experts predict that by 2015 to 2020, China's crude oil processing capacity will remain at 500 million tons more than the size, the amount of rare earth cracking catalysts will exceed 10,000 tons. In addition, with the fuel cell, natural gas catalytic combustion, pollution control, air purification and other fields demand for rare earth catalytic materials increased significantly in 2015 -2020, China's total consumption of rare earth catalytic materials demand will be more than 17,000 tons.

At present, China's large-scale enterprises in petroleum cracking catalysts Catalyst Company, Sinopec, PetroChina Lanzhou catalytic companies, Leshan profits and so on. Rare Class A-share listed companies, only Sheng and Xiamen Tungsten resources and intends to enter the field of rare earth catalysts.

Sheng Huang Hou Bing and resources secretaries said that at present, the company's profits and also in the production of rare earth catalysts commissioning and market development stage, the company plans to increase investment 15 million yuan, to be completed after acceptance of a formal environmental production, and ultimately the formation of sales.
