Western difficult to get rid of rare earth dependence on China

Foreign media said the West is difficult in some areas to reduce dependence on China . Obvious examples are rare : China has announced a significant reduction in the amount of rare earth exports in 2011 . At that time China to meet the global demand for this high-tech material of 95% . China put forward the reasons is that a substantial increase in domestic demand for rare earth industry , therefore, rare earth prices shot up . EU, Japan and the United States subsequently submitted to the WTO complaint , which they considered a violation of WTO rules agreed by all countries .

Germany "Time" weekly website May 13 Journal article said rare earth prices dispute shows how the Chinese people 's dependence on the quasi -monopoly of rare earth and other parts of the world to China. America, Europe and other countries, commitments , in terms of the exploitation of raw materials necessary for such high-tech products are no longer left to the mercy of China , they will quickly realize their exploitation . But since that did not make much progress .

The article said that rare earths are not rare , and many countries have rare earth resources. But the extraction of rare earth metals is considered to be labor intensive , but also leave toxic waste . Therefore , when the 1990s China 's rare earth production and to significantly increase the cost to provide the world's rare earths , most industrial countries closed their mining sites .

The article said that although the WTO has ruled in March 2014 in favor of industrialized countries that China 's export restrictions violated WTO rules, but the effect of the judgment may be small . Actually get executed until the judgment may also take a long time .

At the same time , a diversified industrial countries did not promise success . Although the United States has once again enabled molybdenum an old Mountain Pass mine in California , Malaysia from 2013 onwards ready to buy rare earths from Australia , geologists discovered over the past few years are also hundreds of new deposits in the world , but outside of China Construction enthusiasm for new mining point has been significantly weakened.

The article said that the global economic downturn and the recent Chinese demand for rare earths is also reduced, resulting in rare-earth prices fell to previous levels in 2011 , which reduced the opening of the new mining point of pressure. Centre for European Economic Research believes that until 2020 China will remain a monopoly in the field of heavy rare earths . Currently, about 90 percent of the world's rare earth products still come from China .

Guangxi Metallurgical Academy of rare metals involved in development projects in Uganda

Recently, Guangxi, Guangzhou Institute of Metallurgy, a company commissioned to accept the use of metallurgical aspects of homes in the rare earth minerals mining, processing of mature development process , for a place in Uganda nonferrous metals mining, processing technology projects carried out preliminary exploration of mineral development , has been obtain satisfactory technical results , the subsequent development work is methodical start.

It is reported that the project was Chinese and Ugandan government's strong support of the Chinese - key projects in Uganda trade and investment cooperation. Mineral resource projects , including about 75 million tons of apatite , 30 million tons of magnetite, 700,000 tons of pyrochlore ( niobium , tantalum -rich ) , 1.6 million tons of LREE , 10,000 tons of scandium resources , with a high development value.

According to reports, the two sides will be the principle of comprehensive utilization of resources , in the shortest time will be the resource advantages into economic advantages, to achieve Chinese enterprises "going out " and become a model for foreign investment projects.

Rare earth products securitization era

Although the WTO against China rare earth dispute seems to have become inevitable, but the industry view , the failure of international litigation is rare may not be entirely bad news , or the rare earth industry Forced detonated accelerate our market deregulation .

To promote domestic consumption of rare earth , rare earth products actively promote the construction around the exchange platforms , such as the first specialized in rare earth products Spot Electronic Trading Center --- Southern Rare Earth Products Exchange Trading Center was on January 4 this year in Guangdong Ping Yuan officially opened operations. Baotou Rare Earth Products Exchange followed , also on March 28, 2014 immediately after the opening. It is reported that South Exchange on the trading platform of rare earth , rare earth oxides has become normalized, securitization, electronic, circulation of goods monetization , or will become the gold , and a variety of international investment after silver . Some analysts have pointed out , this may mean that the era of rare earth products securitization has officially arrived.

Rare structural adjustment reforms need to aim high

Can really create sustainable wealth for the rare earth industry is value-added, high- tech content of rare earth processing areas . This has become the consensus of the rare earth industry , and has been practiced by some companies .

Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Rare Earth Group unfavorable factors domestic macroeconomic slowdown , continue to increase this year, product structure adjustment , and actively promote the high-end rare earth products, market development, and strive to achieve sales revenue of 6.4 billion yuan , and strive to resolve the price volatility of rare earth products magnitude larger run relatively rare earth market instability.

In early December last year , with a Long March III carrier rocket pierced the sky dream of the Chinese people , the success of " Chang-e III" probe into orbit. Among them, its corporate Mongolia Baotou Steel Rare Earth dilute magnetic Company developed high-end products - rare earth permanent part of " Chang-e III" detector provides a complete high-end rare earth products , another successful boost China's aerospace industry development.

Rare high-end products to increase market share , has been the Baotou Rare Earth is the goal. From the end of the century , freon for a series of environmental problems caused by the destruction of the ozone layer has become a worldwide problem , which also contributed to accelerate the pace of research Baotou Steel Rare Earth ' magnetic refrigeration " project. As rare of all, Baotou produced lanthanum, cerium, shop, neodymium and other rare earth materials is the best study materials "magnetic refrigeration " project. Unique advantages , coupled with the tireless efforts of the entire research staff , making the " magnetic refrigeration " project walk in the forefront in the world .

Practice has proved that the value-added rare earth products to improve the process, improve the technological level of the rare earth industry is particularly important. Currently, Why China's rare earth export of primary products to a large number ? The reason is mainly applied research lags behind China's rare earth , rare earth materials can not be fully applied . A large number of foreign monopoly of rare earth application of advanced technologies, such as space technology, military technology. We are talking about selling the original rare earth prices are now rare sold at high prices, but we only got hundreds of millions of dollars , we have lost a valuable resource.

Plainly, the production of rare earth enterprises only rare earth raw materials , and then by the Western countries through deep processing enterprises , a large amount of high-priced products to sell back home, earn huge profits our country . Therefore, the promotion of rare earth industry structural adjustment, promote the development of high-tech industries downstream , improving rare earth industry technical level is essential.

In fact , high-end products targeting rare earth rare earth enterprises are not a marketing tool , not just technology development, but extends to the end of an important rare earth products . Although rare earth industry is a small industry , but it has an important impact on other industries, especially high-tech industries , national , vital to enhance our military . This year, the price of rare earth experienced a frenzied boom and slump. In times of crisis , when the rare earth industry , structural adjustment is aimed at high-end rare earth development direction.

Little change in the rare earth market, short-term non-positive support

Today, the domestic rare earth market was little changed , but the prices of some products , some businesses have had to adjust a little , in the short term the market basically run smoothly because no positive support .

Neodymium oxide, praseodymium current tax price of 33 yuan / ton, no tax price 28-28.5 yuan / ton, the price of the metal praseodymium neodymium about 425,000 yuan / ton, no tax at 36-37 yuan / ton.

Dysprosium oxide stage manufacturers offer tax 170 yuan / ton, but yesterday, manufacturers will have to adjust the price to around 1.68 million yuan / ton , but the turnover is still relatively weak .

In addition , lanthanum , cerium oxide market transaction on a slightly downward, falling tax price 1000 yuan / ton. Other products such as europium , gadolinium , terbium , yttrium unchanged .
