China's rare earth supply exceeds demand, the heavy rare earth yttrium surplus each year more than 10,000 tons, light rare earth lanthanum, cerium surplus of more than 50,000 tons per year. & ldquo; pioneering application development direction of China's rare earth lanthanum, cerium, yttrium end-use markets, reduce inventory, yes. & rdquo; at the recently held Sixth China Baotou Rare Earth Industry Forum, experts said.

Light rare earth lanthanum, cerium production accounts for about 70 percent of China's rare earth production. Since late last year, rare earth prices continued to fall, lanthanum, cerium, yttrium oxide prices fell 40%. If the application does not solve the problem of lanthanum, cerium, yttrium, and will affect the development of the rare earth industry. China Rare Earth Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Wang Rail said: & ldquo; lanthanum, cerium element of the application does not open, or that marketing does not open, praseodymium, neodymium, will also be affected, neodymium prices would become unstable, and therefore must be addressed lanthanum, cerium application problems. & rdquo;

The development of China's rare earth industry has experienced a breakthrough smelting and separation technology, a breakthrough technology, rare earth new materials production stage, it is now entering a high level of use of rare earth materials terminal stage of industrialization integration technology. Compared with mature praseodymium, neodymium metal market, lanthanum, cerium applications and price far behind. Insiders said: & ldquo; praseodymium, neodymium metal prices are more than 30 yuan / ton, lanthanum, cerium price should be 70,000 yuan / ton to 80,000 yuan / ton. Currently, praseodymium, neodymium metal sales was better because praseodymium, neodymium final downstream products than lanthanum, cerium higher end. & rdquo;

State Key Laboratory of Rare Earth Resources Vice Ren Mengjian think: & ldquo; lanthanum, cerium has a strong catalytic effect, you can put atmospheric emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides after catalytic into harmless substances. Applied to magnesium alloys, lanthanum, cerium can play a very good corrosion resistance and enhance the role of liquidity, the size of each year may be to use a dozen or even several million tons. & rdquo;

Zhang Zhong, general manager of Baotou Steel Rare Earth, said in addition to solving lanthanum, cerium, yttrium application problems in the new energy vehicles, the Baotou Rare Earth is also actively involved in the application of lanthanum, cerium more environmentally friendly projects. & ldquo; For example, smoke treatment, gas treatment, water treatment developed rapidly these years. We have recently carried out jointly with the petrochemical companies catalyst research and development projects, including soot denitration treatment. The main elements of these environmental projects using a lanthanum and cerium. & rdquo; he said.

According to reports, authorities from approaching the Ministry was informed, carbon fiber, rare earths, refractory metal materials, is expected to become the new material supported by the state, the future of the Ministry will provide key support research supporting policies.

According to the reporter, at present the Ministry is speeding up the pace of major projects, feasibility studies, study the establishment of new materials risk compensation mechanism, improve taxation, finance, insurance and other comprehensive support policy, the formation of policy together to jointly promote the development of new materials industries. According to the plan, the Ministry of Industry and strive through about a decade of efforts to accelerate including new material industry, including key development areas, to promote China as a whole has entered the ranks of the world's manufacturing powerhouse.

According to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported Thursday, Japan and India next week will reach a plan to jointly develop rare earth, which will begin in Japan since 2015 imports of rare earths from India. Currently, Japan is trying to get rid of dependence on Chinese rare earths.

Reported that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Indian Prime Minister Modi, next week will reach a common production plan at the Tokyo summit. Reported unspecified sources.

Reported that a wholly owned subsidiary of India's Department of Atomic Energy - India signed a joint production of rare earths will be the first agreement with Toyota Tsusho Corporation in September.

According to the report, the Indian company from uranium and thorium ore production of mixed rare earth materials, the use of Toyota Tsusho production of electric and hybrid vehicles required for rare earth materials neodymium, lanthanum, cerium and praseodymium and other rare earth materials.

The report also said, the annual output of between 2,000-2,300 tonnes, representing approximately 15% of demand in Japan, the first since the beginning of February next year, exports to Japan annually about 2,000 tons.

Toyota Tsusho's spokesman said the company is checking this story.

Chinese rare earth production accounts for 90% of the world. Despite Japan's attempts to diversify sources of supply, but the current production of electronics, magnets and clean technology are still needed vast majority of rare earth from China.

This month China at the World Trade Organization (WTO) case of rare earth export restrictions in losing, was instructed to cancel strict rare earth export quotas. The case was brought by the United States, the European Union and Japan.

India hopes among Japan's Prime Minister Modi's visit to get support for a nuclear agreement and its huge market to attract investment.

It is reported that Japan is promoting a rare earth supply security plan, hope that within four years, at least 60 percent of domestic demand rely on rare earth supply outside China. Rare is an important raw material production of smart phones, computers and cars, the Japanese want to reduce dependence on rare earth supply China's largest producer.

Japan hopes the first of this month signed an agreement to purchase four light rare earths from India; also as a rare earth mine in Australia and the Australian Lynas plant in Malaysia established to provide the financing.

Japan plans to protect the rare earth supply also created a joint venture in Kazakhstan, recycling batteries and engine rare earth magnet, even in the Pacific seabed exploration of rare earth resources.

And India agreement will be able to meet 15% of demand in Japan. According to the Japanese demand and growth data provided a rare trader estimates, according to the agreement if Lynas can increase production to 2018 Japan is expected to meet the needs of more than 60% of rare earths by China outside.

China's rare earth production currently accounts for about 90 percent of global production. Japanese purchases of rare earth almost all directly or indirectly from China.

Currently RE market continues to slump shock, dysprosium, europium, terbium oxide, such as the demand is not satisfactory, prices held steady or continue down slightly vulnerable. At present, many of the rare earth market prices in recent years have been the least significant bit of history belongs to the lowest level or year, prices continue to slump little space, but vulnerable to long-term maintenance.

Today dysprosium products market, according to traders Ganzhou dysprosium reflect the actual price is only about 1.4 million yuan / ton, while the price is close to the bottom of the price during the year. According to other suppliers, said dysprosium with tickets currently remain steady at around 1.44 million yuan / ton. Dysprosium iron market current market weakness, slight fluctuations in the price of dysprosium oxide with a higher offer is currently at 1.48 million yuan / ton.

Gadolinium products market, nearly a month gadolinium oxide prices were little changed before the supplier slightly increase the offer of 5,000 -1 10,000 to 120,000 yuan or more, but maintain time soon, the recent mainstream market prices have been maintained at around 115,000. Gadolinium oxide and gadolinium iron mainstream market prices have been a slight concussion in the interval, the market trend is limited. The current price is almost belong to the lowest position after 2011, limited downside.

Europium, terbium oxide market, the current price of europium oxide already at the bottom of the year, breaking last year's low, but the outlook is still some room to fall, but by the sharp fall in prices in recent years, down power has weakened, businesses can accept further downside is compressed. For most business europium, terbium oxide traders, the profit is far less than before. Terbium oxide market is currently small order with ticket prices, some traders will take ticket price adjustment from 2650 yuan / kg to about 2600 yuan / kg, the demand deserted.
