December 13 , 2014 the Ministry of Commerce issued the first batch of rare earth export quotas, LREE total of 15,110 tons , a slight decrease of 2.5% compared with 2013 . The total of 27 enterprises to obtain export quotas.

However , insiders believe that due to the recent downturn in the rare earth downstream demand , the export volume has been far below the actual export quotas , export quotas reduced real meaning has little importance is gradually reduced.

According to industry practice, the Commerce Department released a year usually two batches of rare earth export quotas, the first batch of quotas typically accounts for about half of the annual quota .

December 13 , the Ministry of Commerce to disclose on its website the first rare earth export quota for 2014 , which is 13,314 tons of light rare earths , heavy rare earth 1,796 tons , totaling 15,110 tons . Industry insiders estimate that next year the total export quota of 30,200 tons .

The Commerce Department said the first batch of 2014 export quotas for the main reference for each enterprise output from 2011 to 2013 in October , export volume , export value calculation. Data show that in 2013 the first batch of rare earth export quota of 15,449 tons , including 13,561 tons of light rare earths , heavy rare earth 1,938 tons , shows that 2014 rare earth export quota decreased slightly by 2.5%.

Export quota is not particularly meaningful

For the Chinese export restrictions practice , WTO against China in October to limit exports of rare earths in the proceedings, made ​​a ruling against China , China needs to rare tariff adjustments and the elimination of export quotas , the market is expected verdict by the end of the introduction . But the WTO has not yet announced the official final results .

The above ruling came after the news , the Chinese Ministry of Commerce policy analyst , said Mei Xinyu , China is likely to appeal. "In my opinion , China is fully entitled to limit or strategic resources such rare cause serious pollution , the export of energy -intensive products . "

"Some stakeholders said that we lost basically a foregone conclusion , the state could then approach by responding to rare earth export quota policy to defer for a year , " the industry source said, " There is a need for continuity of national policy , not because losing to immediately cancel , also need to give companies a transition period , the earliest will be canceled in 2015 . "

However, industry analysts said , in fact , due to the recent downturn in the domestic market of rare earth , rare earth export quota management approach has gradually lost its meaning , because the number is much lower than the actual export export quotas.

According to customs data , exports in the first ten months of this year, the rare earth only about 57% of annual export quotas this year . 2012 China 's rare earth export volume accounted for only 52% of the Commerce Department issued a rare earth export quotas .

" A few years ago the total exports are about 50% of export quotas wandering , often used up the quota this year, exports to Japan, Europe has been the recovery , may account for about 70%. " the analyst said , and is expected , if the final WTO ruling down, China canceled export quotas , while the downstream market has improved, it will be possible to promote increased consumption of rare earths , prompting prices to pull up . And if the rare earth downstream market continues to decline , there may be companies competing vicious competition , continued low prices of rare earth situation .

Guangxi province is second only to rare earth reserves in Jiangxi and Guangdong , as the resource has not been fully exploited , with the advantage of strong , attracted wide attention. Since 2008, the state-owned capital into the rare earth industry in Guangxi , on the rare earth industry consolidation, and achieved certain results . However, the current development of Guangxi, the main rare earth industry still faces uncertainties and other " chaos ." The industry believes that Guangxi should further accelerate the consolidation efforts, specifically the development of the body , protect the healthy development of the industry .

Prior to 2008, mostly in Guangxi Rare licenses incomplete development of private enterprises indiscriminate mining. In 2008 , Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group since its establishment, its success would Chongzuo Rare Earth Development Co., Ltd. and the largest rare earth ore separation plant Jinyuan Company 's revenue management, to become the sole owner of Guangxi legitimate mining business license and separate indicators . After entering the rare earth colored , abandoned the backward production technology , the use of more advanced mining technology in situ injection fluid and anti- seepage landslides and other protective measures to prevent pollution has invested a lot of money, so that the local mining order has been some improvement .

Although the state capital entered the rare earth industry , with its standardized management , advanced technology and relatively strong capital position has changed to some extent , " Hu opened Luancai " situation rare earth industry , but since 2008 a series of The fact that the rare earth industry in Guangxi current " chaos " still has not been fundamentally governance .

Hu Guhua analysis, rampant illegal mining of rare earths , in addition to illegal mining of rare earths in Guangxi easier , simpler separation means , find more difficult outside , have a great relationship with the current development of the main rare mix of Guangxi .

Hu Guhua said that although on the rare earth industry in Guangxi has been consolidation, but there is still a lot of private capital and in different ways into Guangxi, a multi- metal ore mining and other development on behalf of rare earths . A reflection of the industry , in some places, Jiangxi and other places of foreign miners signed a contract with the local villagers , wantonly illegal mining of rare earths , and then shipped to Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places .

Since the WTO before the end of the year is likely to restrict exports of rare earths ruling against China , China's rare earth export restrictions may release in early 2015 , the domestic rare earth industry resource integration imminent.

China Rare Earth Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Chen Zhanheng that, to avoid export release significant impact on China 's rare earth industry and rare earth -rich region , we must strictly control various capital for investment and development of rare earth mine , the use of large enterprises and Resource Group integration, maintenance status of international pricing of rare earth .

Experts pointed out areas in Guangxi as an important rare earth , rare earth industry in the national context of a large consolidation to accelerate the pace of the rare earth industry consolidation has become an inevitable trend in the development of the subject is clearly a priority as soon as possible .

December 7 , Zhejiang sixth academic report analyzing test was held in Hangzhou. The meeting by the Zhejiang large scientific instruments and analytical writing shared management office hosted Testing Association , Zhejiang Province , attracting industry experts , efficient, and many famous enterprises on behalf of more than 600 active participants , to discuss environmental monitoring , food safety, health and quarantine application and development of instruments and other fields . During the meeting, Sun Chaoyang from the Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources of Zhejiang Province as a " test method REE carbonate rocks " reports.

We know that the determination of rare earth elements for geological age, explain the causes of the demo minerals , diagenesis and mineralization of geochemical conditions , material sources , magma evolution provide useful information. As a geochemical study of rocks and minerals , " showing Chen agent" is widely used in the field of modern geological science , and REE and trace elements can help restore a variety of original rock characteristics determine the tectonic setting of its formation.

Spectrophotometry is commonly used test methods of rare earth elements , rare earth elements are widely used in various types of analysis and testing samples . With the continuous improvement of synthesis technology , many new chromogenic reagent REE be applied , although the sensitivity and selectivity spectrophotometry has been greatly improved , the stability has also been enhanced , but still can not meet the requirements of the detection limit difficult to achieve measured REE component . Although genetic spectrophotometric simultaneous realization of multi-component determination of rare earth , but to chemometrics , operate more complicated, in practical applications easily restricted. The biggest drawback XRF determination of rare earth elements is less than the detection limit , it is difficult to test geological samples used in the analysis of trace rare earth.

Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) has the advantage of a wide range of linear and multi-element determination , has become an important means of analysis of rare earth elements , but the direct determination of analytical sensitivity can not meet the requirements , then , there is more severe matrix effects , spectral interferences and other issues. Therefore, these methods have lost their superiority , unable to meet the current Analysis of Rare Earth testing requirements.

Finally Sun Chaoyang come Summary: Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) with high sensitivity , low detection limit , can be directly measured REE carbonate rocks . For some carbonate rocks, using hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, lactic acid, sulfuric acid decomposition easily lead portion of the heavy rare earth analysis of low sodium oxide should be melted decomposition. Since no suitable means of chemical separation of europium barium content will bring high sample error Jiaotong University , the exact exchange resin separation should be determined by barium or measured using high-resolution ICP-MS .

Advantages for the protection and rational utilization of resources , the " rare earth kingdom ," said the main origin of the world's rare earth ions in Ganzhou , Jiangxi introduction of such notice , sought by a number of measures to promote tungsten and orderly development of rare earth resources , sustainable use .

The State Council issued the " Opinions on Promoting the sustainable and healthy development of rare earth industry ," noted that the top three companies southern ionic rare earth industry concentration to 80 %, but since most of the rare earth resources in the hands of local governments and enterprises , at present, Southern ionic rare earth industry consolidation is still the main driving force is actually the local government .

In the new introduction of Ganzhou , " issued in 2011 on the city's tungsten , rare earth ore mined total control indicators notice " that the county district to strictly implement the tungsten ore, total rare earth mine control targets. Nanjing County continues discontinued, Gan County , Xinfeng principle discontinued - by the end of 2011 counties halted .

Meanwhile, the total amount required to strengthen urban counties control indicators of the implementation of the mining law enforcement .

In fact , a few months ago Ganzhou city's rare earth industry in depth unprecedented " revolution" , many mines have been shut down for rectification. The industry believes that the move will intensify in the second half of Ganzhou Rare Earth Resources tight supply situation to some extent .

Six ministries rectify rare earth production

Our great country is rare , reserves and production are among the first in the world .

Since last year, prices of many rare earth products rose yuan per ton day rate "rocket " up . According to data platform commodities business community on September 2 released data show that from the beginning to the end of August , some rare earth products rose more than 700 percent .

This year on July 25 , the Ministry and other six ministries jointly issued a notice , for no instruction production, ultra- command production , backward technology and not by environmental verification of rare earth mining enterprises , the requirements shall be discontinued, rectification, otherwise it will severely punish even hanging ( Note ) off the relevant license .

Most of Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining Discontinued

Ganzhou because they have more than 30% of the country 's heavy rare earth reserves , known as "rare earth kingdom ."

Local Ganzhou Rare Earth Resources , unified management by the Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining Company . The relevant responsible person said Ganzhou Mining will strictly implement the relevant notification , involving rare earth mine to suspend production areas . Ganzhou middle of a separation plant sources, Ganzhou mining has stopped for each mineral separation plant , only big business for individual mines .

Another private Ganzhou separation plant official told reporters , in fact, before the State Council issued the "Opinions" , Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining District, most has been discontinued, because production targets exhausted and environmental verification.

Rare Association of Jiangsu Province, according to informed sources said Thursday , the second phase of rare earth hitting Jiangsu Province has been completed, the relevant business case has been submitted to statistical verification of the Ministry , the current third phase ( correction summary ) has not yet begun. It is reported that Jiangsu No companies found irregularities . It is understood that in many Shanghai , Jiangxi and other rare earth production and trade enterprise area businesses verifiable progress is slow, is still statistically relevant business results of the verification .

Since August this year , in conjunction with the Ministry of Public Security and other seven ministries and local governments jointly carry out special operations to combat illegal rare earth production , exploitation, distribution and other aspects , according to the original plan, the specific rare earth crackdown divided into three phases , the time is 15 August to 15 November , the provinces were self stage, sector and stage of rectification work of the Joint Inspection summary stage , due to the larger number of verification companies , currently hitting the whole process has been slow .

According to a long-term and spot rare earth exchange analyst at the downstream business , said there are downstream enterprises represent an active black market for rare earths from the previous month , these rare association experts also admitted that the current anti- rare earth normalization has not yet formed , and the rare earth ore private mining process is simple, low cost, easily revived , in order to completely blow difficult.

According to another long-term tracking of rare earth sector brokerage analysts also said that the current capital market for rare earths hitting the lowered expectations, is not expected to occur again in July by hitting Ganzhou Rare Earth Rare Earth brought a large cattle market segment , currently on the market rare and large group purchasing and storage consolidation also have certain expectations, but is approaching the end of a large group purchasing and storage and integration policy is still no definite news will be announced .

This year, the China Rare Earth Industry Association conducted a survey of rare earth waste recycling companies , the survey showed that there were rare comprehensive waste recycling business 56 .

According to experts, since 2011 , the approval of the corporate assault around 90% , the waste treatment capacity of 190,600 tons . Among them, NdFeB, phosphor, polishing powder waste treatment capacity was 141,700 tons , 23,100 tons and 21,500 tons . But in 2012 , the national annual output of 80,000 tons NdFeB , total waste by 30 percent and only 24,000 tons ; production of phosphors, polishing powder is not high , overall, there is not enough for these rare earths waste integrated waste recycling business deal .

In addition there are experts, Jiangxi Province 39 integrated waste recycling company, with annual processing capacity of 10 million tons of waste . Part of a comprehensive waste recycling companies to take advantage of the comprehensive recycling names , by their high degree of overlap of the process , the line separating the solid ore , constitutes a great impact on the informal enterprises .
