Today, rare earth market is relatively calm, the market prices were little changed. Waste magnetic weekend there was a substantial rise in prices. Monday market price adjustment is not much, some suppliers still insist on the weekend quoted represents and reflects the recent market transactions is not good, merchants do not ship. Praseodymium and neodymium oxide prices were unchanged last week. There Baotou manufacturers now reflect newspaper expensive lot, but does not ship did also traded much. Type of market dysprosium oxide, dysprosium market price at 2.35 million yuan / ton, dysprosium iron market with votes 2,450,000 yuan / ton.

Erbium oxide market price fluctuations for nearly a week, with ticket prices now 34,35 yuan / ton or so, there is a slight increase in business last week lowered its offer, the mainstream market prices stable. Lanthanum, cerium market prices remain unchanged from last week, 3N around oxide yet than 30,000 yuan / ton mark, always at 2.7, 2.8 yuan / ton or so. Battery grade mixed rare earth prices rise, the current market price of 145,000 yuan with votes / ton, slightly higher than last week's price 10,000 yuan / ton.

Magnetic scrap market, recent market transactions are reflected in many it is difficult to get the goods, here are more bullish retail goods not. Weekend so far and the Waste Electrical and magnetic scrap prices rose significantly. Magnetic scrap market today, the basic price of the main areas receiving short strips 106-110 yuan / kg, long 116-120 yuan / kg, tiles 136-140 yuan / kg. The price is higher than the price of the weekend significantly increased 3-4 dollars / kg. Waste Electrical and prices have increased slightly, the current price of 86,87 brushless yuan / month, reflecting a market trader in Zhejiang province 88 yuan / month offer. Brush motor scrap prices in the 133-143 yuan / month or so. Weekend Market traded a certain amount, but the small number of traders have shipped reflected now still retains a certain amount of inventory on the market stay on the sidelines, temporarily not continue to ship, not a clearing.

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.

Reporters from the just-concluded "the Seventh International Symposium on Rare Earth Development and Application of the second session of China Rare Earth Summit" has learned that concern RE litigation may result in the formation before the end of this year. From the Chinese Rare Earth Society and the Chinese Society of Rare Earths stakeholders have indicated a greater chance of losing China, Chinese rare earth export policy faces major changes.

"Unsuccessful outcome is Chinese rare earth quotas cancellation policy, open the supply of rare earths, the government can not constrain the export business behavior." One yuan has been involved in the matter experts told reporters that the past experience shows that companies competing prices is inevitable.

Meanwhile, the uncontrolled expansion of domestic production capacity of rare earth, rare earth application of collective weakness, so this has been widely favored industry in recession, the industry had been high hopes for the domestic market is also a two-year price "roller coaster" gradually shrinking .

In the August 11 meeting of Ganzhou Rare Earth, in addition to industry analysis, how to control excess capacity to become one of the most important issues, the background is still kept in secret rare earth litigation. First proposed in 2009, the EU had asked China to lift the rare metal products export quota system; 2010 United States, Mexico and other countries WTO ED also submitted memorandum demanding that the Chinese rare earth export quota system canceled; 2012 U.S., EU official in the WTO China's rare earth export quota system proceedings.

It is understood, Ganzhou Rare Earth conference shortly before the Chinese Society of Rare Earths relevant agencies should be required to provide to the WTO once material. Experts said that the elimination of export quotas for the possible impact, has begun to assess the worst case back to the old way, foreign companies took orders to the domestic enterprises to seek to find a quote, attracted companies competing underselling, "rare earth The price may have to return to 'cabbage price'. "

China Rare Earth Association Deputy Secretary-General Chen Zhanheng said, now is oversupply, the annual quota of 30,000 tons, the actual sales 10,000 tons, it is in terms of supply and demand will be no major changes, "if the elimination of quotas, tariffs have come down smuggling does not make sense. "

One can not ignore the background, the current domestic rare earth separation smelting capacity has been severely surplus. Ganzhou Rare Earth Group Qiandong Gong Bin, chairman and managing director, told reporters that the current separation of the South ionic rare earth smelting capacity has exceeded 100,000 tons, and as the boss of the Southern Rare Earth Jiangxi in 2013 the first batch of 3,950 tons production target .

"We have a plant capacity is twenty-three one hundred tons, but give only a few dozen tons of indicators, there is enough to eat." One yuan Jiangxi separate company official told reporters, "hungry" is a universal phenomenon, very hungry they would buy the black ore, "Now is not strict practiced invoices, black mine a lot, so much could not have been separated smelting capacity idle."

According to the China Rare Earth Industry Association, introduced the Secretary-General Ma Rongzhang Southern separated ion ore smelting enterprises to obtain more than 70% of unknown origin. According to statistics, China's rare earth more than 200,000 tons, the actual annual production capacity of 15 to 18 million tons, while the actual global annual demand of 13 million tons, China's demand of about 100,000 tons.

Chinese Society of Rare Earths expert who requested anonymity told reporters that although the pattern of rare earth supply diversification trends are becoming evident, "but if the abolition of quotas and tariffs, China rare earth prices will plummet, topple other countries may again rare earth production line. "

A year ago, the reporter had learned that national administrations organize expert-level discussions, assessment of rare earth export quotas after the abolition of the impact of policy, in the long term rare earth export quotas is the general direction, but the premise is to make domestic production order straightened out, to avoid confusion after the opening.

Bin Gong that rare earth production capacity from the south point of view, the central enterprises and local state-owned holding separate production capacity has reached 78.5 percent, close to the national requirements of large enterprise groups control 80 percent of the south separating capacity requirements.

"But now the 80% is an enlarged version, is not consistent with the original intention of the State Council, if the unlimited expansion of production capacity, control useless, is a waste." The expert said.

Officials from the Ministry of Commerce, said the earth is still kept in secret proceedings, can not be made public. However, the officials said, to solve the rare earth export problems of excess capacity and not simply expect the government's policy, the industry itself needs discipline.

According to China Rare Earth Industry Association statistics, in 2012 the output of these three were Applied Materials fell significantly, magnetic yield 78,000 tons, 04,500 tons luminescent materials, hydrogen storage materials, 08,200 tons, down 11.9%, respectively, 43.8% 34.4%, while in the field of non-mainstream applications catalyst "slightly."
China Rare Earth Industry Association of rare earth price index compiled by the December 2012 of 234.1 points down to 3 July 2013 of 153.8 points, down 52.2%, then rebounded to 5 August, up 19.6%.

However, Ma Rongzhang still said that despite the recent praseodymium, neodymium, terbium, dysprosium, europium prices rise up to 100%, but can not make up the shrinking market.

Beijing Nonferrous Metal Research Institute Zhuang Weidong rare earth luminescent materials expert, told reporters that now, in addition to downstream applications of rare earth magnetic material relative prosperity, the light-emitting materials, hydrogen storage materials are very depressed, "LED light-emitting material by a big impact, lithium hydrogen storage materials are facing the squeeze. "Zhuang Weidong said, LED and lithium battery industry growth rate than originally predicted to be fast.

However, the relative prosperity of the magnetic field is currently facing Japan's patented extrusion. Japan's Hitachi Metals official website announced that its global total of more than 600 applications NdFeB, where more than 100 applications in the United States, in China in the year 2000 did not start the application to be published recently by some media quoted insiders as saying that up to 320 number. The Hitachi Metals announced this year in addition to already authorized Zhong Ke San Huan, Ningbo Yunsheng, Beijing Beijing and magnetic eight enterprises, no longer licensed to other Chinese enterprises. 2012 Hitachi Metals has been requested in the United States on Chinese enterprises, "337", the final Chinese enterprises to pay to obtain patents pending.

It is reported by patents squeeze some Chinese companies are organized resistance, more than a dozen medium-sized rare earth neodymium formed a business alliance companies, each contributed $ 1.5 million to prepare the United States to prosecute Hitachi Metals.

Ma Rongzhang in Ganzhou Rare proposed to open up new fields of application, such as Chinese surplus every year 30,000 to 50,000 tons of lanthanum, cerium rare earth, rare earth catalyst, if the market is likely to open, you can partially digested these surplus products.

But from Japan Hirosaki University Faculty of Humanities, Professor Dr. Huang Xiaochun pointed out that from the 1970s to date, there have been no applications of rare earth revolutionary technological breakthrough, which reduces the explosive growth in demand for rare earth application possibilities, he believes now weak overseas demand for rare earths, partly because rare earth prices curbed demand, on the other hand is also a technical bottleneck caused by natural decrease.

In the context of weak downstream, China's rare earth raw material supply position was again seriously. Since the 1990s, the United States molybdenum company's rare earth production line closed, China in the world's rare earth supply ratio has been stable at 90%, while according to the U.S. Geological Survey's survey, China's rare earth reserves of the world's total reserves of 36% and continued to decline.

2009, due to China's rare earth industry consolidation and environmental management, the world began to accelerate rare earth supply diversification. According to the U.S. TMR company tracking research, in recent years the United States, Canada, Australia, India, Brazil, Vietnam, Mongolia, South Africa, Russia and other 37 countries, 261 companies engaged in 429 rare items. But the vast majority of which are still in the exploration stage, due to rare earth prices fall, the progress of these projects are subject to different degrees.

European Rare Earth Industry Association, Ban hereby established, said: "Many countries have rare earth, rare earth to be used in the local production of rare earths is reasonable, a local resource should not always be 'trek' everywhere transported."

It is understood that confidence to the outside world mainly U.S. crude saltpeter tyndareus tapas molybdenum company's rare earth minerals and rare earths project in Australia Reiner's, both recently will increase the supply of light rare earths, forward will involve heavy rare earths.

From the United States Geological Survey, Dr. Xie Peijun told reporters, molybdenum company in 2012 has begun to contract the supply of light rare earth enterprises.

"By contrast, they found that in 2013 the global market for rare earths supply shortages may occur, however, after 2014 will have to reverse this situation. Consumer providers can supply pipeline from the diversification seek some comfort, the proportion of rare earth production being Western increase. "British Metal Business Network CEO Nigel Fontana said.

National Development and Reform Commission of the original rare earth group of experts, China Enfi Engineering professor-level engineers had proposed should China Tianyuan of the world supply of rare earth set at 70%, both to stabilize China's industry, but also to meet the needs of the world, "70 % of the amount of foreign rare earth enterprises in favor of its reasonable price, promotion of rare earth market is relatively stable.

Late July to early August continuous rain, the small peak upstream of the reservoir into the illegal exploitation of rare earth wastewater reservoir, causing serious pollution of the reservoir is caused fish cage culture in reservoirs sudden mass death. The Lung Fu Fangchenggang in Guangxi rural small peak reservoir is Fangchenggang source of drinking water for hundreds of thousands.

Guangxi Fangchenggang City-City small peak reservoir cage farmers Chenshi Wu said, the morning of August 1, and as usual he came home in the reservoir of the growth of the fish cages view and found that the color of the water around the cage into a meter White, feed the fish when the fish are not grazing, irritability, and the emergence of fewer deaths.

"I thought it was a lack of oxygen, oxygen immediately to the fish, but not close to the fish aerator, scurrying around, and even jump out cages." Chenshi Wu said he immediately reported to the relevant departments, the night, anti-urban environmental protection, animal husbandry and aquaculture other departments came to the scene view the situation, and the next morning on the water and fish samples for testing. The next few days, Chenshi Wu and the other two reservoirs middle of farmers over 30 cages in the tens of thousands of tail grass carp, carp, tilapia, have died.

"Here we are far from a rare earth mine, we suspect that is where the effluent discharged from the poisoned our fish." Chenshi Wu said he had to rare earth mining area and found that flow out of the sewage color is beige, and These sewage without any treatment, discharged directly into canals and reservoirs connected.

For reasons of dead fish, Fangchenggang-City Aquatic Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau responded that the sampling inspection by experts, preliminary determination small peak reservoir with dead fish incident was caused due to the outbreak of fish disease disaster events. The main reason is the grass carp hemorrhage induced by long-term feeding high-protein feed, or other low-quality feed, and the recent climate change causes such as the water temperature is too high.

When a reporter asked whether the incidence of fish associated with water pollution, the anti-urban fisheries technology extension Zhanfuzhanchang Lingzong Fu said, according to the current understanding of the situation, there is no way to determine whether the fish deaths related to water pollution. Anti-City Aquatic Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the dead fish samples are sent to a more authoritative body for testing.

"Fangchenggang municipal environmental protection department of the reservoir of water for a number of sampling and monitoring, water quality data show a small peak various indicators have reached the surface water environmental quality class III standards, that water quality is not contaminated." Fangchenggang City urban environment Protection Bureau deputy director Jiang Wenwei said.

However, the reporter in Fangchenggang City Environmental Protection Bureau on August 12 a "small peak reservoir dead fish cages Investigation Report" to see such a statement: After investigation, the small peak around the reservoir without industrial and mining enterprises, mainly small peak reservoir pollution Field crops set a big house illegal exploitation of rare earth dens. The illegal exploitation dens disorderly discharge untreated wastewater directly into the small peak reservoir through canals, affecting small peak reservoir water quality.

For the conclusion of the fish died, farmers who do not agree. Farmers Chen said: "that is the grass carp hemorrhage, but why cages tilapia and carp also died of it? And we have given more than 2 pounds of elephant grass carp are put in long-term feeding with high protein feed or feed poor argument is not true. "

Under the guidance of the villagers, the reporter found hidden in the mountains of illegal rare earth mining sites. A creek next to the mining sites Bangshui built, the floor is marked with oxalic acid, ammonium sulfate, ammonium bicarbonate and other words of plastic bags.

"This place is flowing out of the water toxic, had previously put the fish ponds near the poisoned cattle drank the water, immediately sick." Pingmou nearby villagers told reporters that the illegal mining sites in existence for nearly three years, law enforcement agencies to combat several times, but they are re-started a few months later.

"Every time I arrived at the scene, all the staff are gone, and we can only be destroyed on-site facilities and so far, we do not know who is the organizer of the illegal mining of rare earths and the persons responsible." Fangchenggang City Land Resources Bureau Fangcheng Branch monitors battalion said exposing light vibration.
