Because of the current market for rare earths serious excess capacity , black chain repeated, downstream industries demand weakened , the vast majority of rare earth product prices remain low , thinly traded. Separation costs which products appear upside down , in addition to the price of individual species praseodymium oxide, praseodymium , neodymium and other relatively strong, most of the rare earth oxide prices fell last year .

Wood Yi Zhang made ​​the remarks in a jurisdiction listed Hainan held the 22nd annual results 2013 online collective briefing , he believes the rare earth industry is facing very severe form of management , but in view of the country 's rare earth industry consolidation to continue to strengthen over the long term rare earth industry is still a good prospect.

It shows that the recent stock market as a whole is relatively stable rare earth weak turnover , upstream businesses shipped more downstream receiving significantly less disk capacity , most businesses wait and see outlook .

WTO announced the United States, European Union, Japan v. China rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related to the case of the panel report , and ruled that China's export restrictions imposed in violation of free trade regulations.

The latest ruling means not only to discuss China since 2005 to implement the rare earth export quota system will face an end , but also triggered a series of issues surrounding rare earths . Regardless of the United States , European Union, Japan, in the case of rare earth export restrictions by limiting the supply of rare earth in China in exchange for other diplomatic achievements , or manipulate international prices of rare earth accusations are true , the domestic rare earth buyers will indeed because of reduced exports of rare earths benefit . In other words, because of the rare earth forced "to export domestic ", the domestic supply increases , prices remain low , resulting in the loss of natural resources caused by over-exploitation , calculate its cost of production in the downstream equipment manufacturers when ignored. While those using rare earth clean energy technologies such as permanent magnet direct drive wind turbines , new energy vehicles , energy storage , and even the promotion of energy-saving LED light bulbs are also worthy of further investigation .

According to the State Council in 2012 released " China 's rare earth situation and policy " white paper , China 's rare earth reserves account for about 23% of the world's total reserves. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance statistics, China in 2013 to provide 120,000 tons of the world's rare earths . Which is mainly used for the number of new energy technologies to reach 30,000 tons .

Wind power on a global scale is regarded as the most mature , but also the lowest cost of electricity generation clean energy technologies. According to the Global Wind Energy Association statistics , in 2013 , global wind power capacity reached 35 GW , which uses the number of permanent-magnet direct-drive wind turbine technology accounted for 25 %, about 4500 units. Each permanent magnet direct drive motors main material NdFeB (NdFdB-Neodymium Iron Boron) requires one ton . From 2014 onwards, the annual global demand for wind power development of rare earth , permanent magnet direct drive wind turbine capacity according to forecasts , will be close to 6,000 tons.

Clean energy demand for rare earths in the same car can not be ignored. In the world of electric car batteries are widely used nickel metal hydride (NiMH - Nickel Metal Hydride, mainly used in hybrid cars ) and adding lithium iron rare earth (Lithium-ion, mainly used in hybrid and pure electric car ) two battery . Take the 2013 global sales of new energy vehicles ( including hybrid and pure electric vehicles ) to calculate the total rare earth use is more than 2000 tons . In addition , the same use of rare earth lithium batteries as the energy storage device , and a fluorescent element LED bulbs used in rare earth mining demand will also increase each year.

Since the implementation of China's rare earth export quotas , foreign enterprises to ensure that his country needs new energy technologies of rare earth , have set up a joint venture in China , together with the exploitation of domestic enterprises , including the United States mining group Molycorp. The rapid development of clean energy to reduce local pollution, but the pollution - excessive exploitation of rare earth remain in the country .

In addition , the domestic in the past five to 10 years time to accelerate the development and utilization of new energy technologies , electric vehicles and battery energy storage development and promotion has not stopped, but are built on the basis of price competition . The average selling price of the domestic wind turbine prices below the international average of 15% to 20 % of domestic electric cars more than 50% of the price even lower than the international level . Able to obtain a price advantage on the premise that the cost advantage , especially the transfer of pollution cost advantage.

In fact China's rare earth export restrictions policy shift from simple production processes . 2012 began to include more competent departments of Commerce, Ministry of Environmental Protection , the Ministry of Industry , etc. are involved in the regulation of rare earth mining and processing order. But so far low inefficient disorderly exploitation of rare earth continues, the individual provinces mined several times more than the approved amount of the reality still exists, causing severe environmental damage.

In order to achieve the goal of reducing air pollution , clean energy can not unilaterally increase the installed capacity from the start, or focus only on the quantity of crude oil has been replaced , but the need to increase R & D investment , particularly from improved resource utilization and resource recycling .

After a year of trial and error, Baotou Rare Earth Rare hospital successfully developed a new type of PVC stabilizer non-toxic, environmentally friendly, long-term stability and good for . Currently , rare earth PVC stabilizer in the test line is under construction , scientific research and is expected to achieve during the year .

It is understood that , at present , rare earth rare earth stabilizer hospital pilot project has been completed equipment tender , is expected to more than three months after the construction , installation , debugging put into operation, is expected to achieve scientific research and then went into effect.

When using PVC material is heated to 200 ℃ require pretreatment , the need to add material to prevent thermal decomposition of PVC stabilizers . At present , the domestic PVC stabilizer to lead salt stabilizer most widely used , but there are safety hazards environmental issues. To meet the international trend to ban lead on PVC industry , China in recent years have gradually taken a series of measures to limit and reduce the use of lead salt stabilizer , lead stabilizer will gradually withdraw from the market , PVC materials production enterprises urgently need a stabilizing effect good cheap alternative and environmentally efficient products . The successful development of rare earth stabilizer , PVC producers can meet the demand for environmentally efficient stabilizers great extent.

Rare hospital engineer Zhang Yuxi told reporters , accounting for 3.5% PVC stabilizer weight , and now our nation's annual PVC production is 13 million tons , and production is still rising , demand is also increasing year by year stabilizers , especially our stabilizer overall lead ban is imminent. The main component of the rare earth lanthanum cerium stabilizer element content is about 10% , the annual output of 13 million tons terms of PVC per year to use 40,000 tons of elements lanthanum , cerium , lanthanum surplus for digestion Baiyunebo Ce important.

As one of the activities in science and technology Jiangxi southbound train , Chinese Academy of Sciences , Beijing University of Rare Earth Materials Chemistry and Applications , State Key Laboratory Director Yan Chunhua walked Jiangxi University , teachers and students to do the rare earth industry special report.

Yan Chunhua in the report that by 2020 , China's rare earth industry will enter a stage of rational competition , such as Baotou ore will be mined raw minerals and secondary resources simultaneously, while the South will gradually form an orderly mining , local protectionist barriers will be broken . In separation technology, rare earth industry will achieve "zero emissions" , while the purity of the product is no longer in a single index , and user-oriented customization. In particular, he stressed that the catalytic material to achieve heterogeneous catalysts homogeneous application of concern.

When it comes to foreign rare earth trends, Yan Chunhua said: "The foreign countries in the field of rare earths in the low end will continue to work with China to import large quantities of rare earth resources. But its high-end science and technology will be on China blocked. Therefore , as researchers, we should focus on the development of rare earth industry collaborative innovation . "

It is learned that the report will focus on " development of rare earth functional materials ," the theme from the resources of rare earth separation , materials and equipment systems introduces four domestic rare earth technology development status quo and future trends . For known as " the world's tungsten" "rare earth kingdom" Ganzhou , Yan Chunhua on the development of rare earth industry put forward opinions and suggestions.

Rare earth prices relatively stable, the current market downturn , businesses frankly bad shipment. In the course of the current market decline , individual traders watching the market temporarily , offer not positive, that prices will continue to fall . Europium, terbium market , prices continued to slump shocks, adjust the range of about 500 yuan / kg. As previously terbium oxide quoted at 3,200 yuan / kg , now quoted at 3,150 yuan / kg , merchants can accept shipment prices fall further . Europium oxide market purchases Inquirer still less , the price will remain at about 3800-3900 yuan / kg.

Currently dysprosium products market, according to the manufacturers and traders with knowledge of Ganzhou , today offer basically stable, the price is more concentrated in the 1.63 million yuan / ton, reflecting some traders without tickets prices have fallen 1.4 million yuan / ton . With ticket offer relatively slightly higher in the 1.67 million yuan / ton, but there is a business to reflect quoted so high it is difficult to sell.

Other oxides , such as holmium oxide prices also appeared this month down, according to Ganzhou manufacturers that now only a few stocks , with ticket prices at more than 390,000 , was also reflected in other industry businesses holmium oxide prices have dropped to 35, 36 ten thousand yuan / ton. China Rare Earth Industry Association recently holmium oxide quoted at around 37-39 yuan / ton.

Most of today's Baotou Rare Earth Oxide Exchange price volatility is very small, turnover is also deserted. As of 14:00 , praseodymium, neodymium , erbium oxide turnover of less than one ton , europium, terbium , dysprosium, lutetium oxide turnover of less than 100 kg .

Last year in August , the Ministry Secretary had said Chen Yanhai raw materials , resources and the environment will increase taxes , tax reform resource management , rational management of rare earth resources and environmental costs , reasonable price formation mechanism , increase local revenues, promote resource ecological and environmental governance .

Recently , much attention rare earth rare earth industry resource tax will be raised the issue has been placed in the top of the agenda. It is reported that the State Administration of Taxation , the Ministry of Finance and other ministries, is working to improve the rare earth resources tax brewing again , rare earth resource tax may impose a substantial increase in the existing standards , based on the specific proportion is still under discussion .

But then , on the question of resource tax rarely mentioned. Until this year , industry analysts pointed out that the reason why at this point in time re talking about resource tax problems may be due to the export of rare earth WTO in litigation .

" From the present point of view, no matter how the outcome of the appeal , with the means to control the export of rare earth prices , I am afraid it is difficult to achieve , therefore , from the government 's point of view , can only increase the cost of rare earth mining , in order to control the rare earth price. " Some analysts have pointed out to reporters .

Expected to protect large enterprise

Data from the past , China's rare earth production , whether from taxation or policy adjustment has been underway . In 2007 , China began to implement mandatory planning of rare earth production and decreasing export quotas ; since 2011 to improve the individual rare earth export tariffs in order to better protect resources ; April 2011 the first substantial increase in the rare earth resources tax.

In this regard, the rare earth analyst Du Shuai soldiers agreed, "Improving resource tax purpose is to control the price of rare earth , rare earth prices make selling not so low ." Du handsome soldier pointed out , the cost of "From the cost point of view now , now rare earth mining between 50,000 yuan / ton to 60,000 yuan / ton, the price has been able to support. Of course, now the cost of which is to increase the resource tax ( including environmental management fees and expenses ) , if the resource tax raise , the corresponding cost of doing business will increase, while the increase in the cost of which will be added to the product , thus effectively improve prices. Even in the future tariffs and export restrictions were canceled , China is still able to rely on the tax rate to control the price of rare earth resources , controlling voice. "

For this view , insiders do not want to be named , agrees , but he also pointed out that the rare earth resource tax raise , but the government in order to solve a series of problems that exist in the rare earth industry as a means . "The government has always wanted to integrate China's rare earth scattered, chaotic situation, and the '5 +1' large group of rare-earth idea born out to this end also , but the current situation, the integration through market means there are still problems , and led to a series of follow-up the implementation of the policy you want unenforceable . And central and local SMEs is difficult in unison . And by improving the resource tax would also like the government to protect the large rare earth enterprises , the eradication of small , scattered, chaotic business, so centralized management . " The parties in the case said.

Should increase efforts to combat smuggling

In this regard , the view that the resource tax will help improve rare earth prices , and effectively protect the regular export of rare earth enterprises , but also with a view to improve the rare earth resource tax, from the other side will stimulate further the prevalence of smuggling .

"Improving the rare earth resources tax appears to be a good means , but still can not help but have a ' headache medicine head , feet hurt the disease ' feeling. Yes, the resource tax is raised, the cost go up , the price of the product should theoretically also been a corresponding increase. But the key is to improve the resource tax rate specific proportions , the other is that the tax enforcement resources to those who are able to cover small and medium rare earth enterprises . In addition, the smuggling of rare earth rare earth prices have been a major reason for suppression only be adjusted from the tax , and can not be locked into the smuggling problem, if control is lax , the cost increase is likely to exacerbate the scale smuggling of rare earth . So, I think if the government wants to protect the enterprise should not only proceed from the tax should also be fit to combat smuggling operations from two aspects to protect China's rare earth resources. " insiders said .

According to the reporter , smuggling has been China's rare earth industry ills , high export tariffs and quota controls , the presence of domestic rare earth prices huge difference, resulting in rampant smuggling . Statistics show that in 2009 China's rare earth smuggled more than 20,000 tons , accounting for the actual export volume of 1 /3. Lack of rare earth resources, rare earth products imported from Japan, the main country, in the rare earth export quotas gradually reduced, some large Japanese companies rely on smuggling to meet the needs of its approximately 1/ 4 .

From the business point of view the number of rare , only a few large formal businesses , there are still a large number of informal SMEs on the market although the state to encourage large enterprises to small and medium rare earth enterprises to integrate , but under their own reasons, many large companies are reluctant to integrate these SMEs , the reason is no profit. Large Rare executives had told reporters bluntly , "Integrating they carry a burden on our own ," this kind of thinking also led to China's rare earth " scattered, chaotic " phenomenon, aggravated disorderly SMEs mining and smuggling prevalent.

In this regard, insiders said , just to improve the resource tax point of view, the government is only a means to coordinate the fight against smuggling , to better purification of China's rare earth industry , and long-term price of rare earth holds the right to speak .
