At the same time, a trader said Chinese exporters current offer large range. European prices 2N dysprosium oxide rose last week $ 10 / kg.

As for the other rare earth elements, traders said 2N-3N Erbium prices also strong trend. Glass and ceramics manufacturers from Europe began to send some inquiries for prices. Erbium prices in the $ 44-45 / kg, no change from last week, but again compared to the previous week, compared with an increase of $ 2-3 / kg.

Japan's coastal waters are considered rich in methane hydrates and rare earth resources.

Japanese government in order to improve the efficiency of marine resources surveys, plans to develop a means of artificial satellites, unmanned exploration in land remote control machine technology. This will not only reduce the researchers investigating the long-term stay in the boat and financial burden, but also in the research center on land, researchers in various fields to share survey data for analysis and efficient operations. In the year 2018 the Japanese government and strive to push the technology to practical use.

The current exploration of marine resources in the exploration waters are usually put in the exploration ship from the seabed exploration unmanned aircraft, and direct control and monitoring of exploration machine work through exploration ship. In order to carry out the exploration work, researchers sometimes have to stay on board a few weeks to several months.

The Japanese government plans to serve as an independent administrative agency of the Japanese marine research and development institutions and research institutes in Japan as the backbone of information and communication, development aid of artificial satellite technology and high-speed communication network exploration ship, unmanned aircraft and ground exploration research center connected.

And observing the image data collected will unmanned exploration machine real-time transmission to the ground research centers, and researchers in various fields will be analyzed by utilizing a wide range of data. Also consider in the future will also use more unmanned exploration machine, one-time large-scale sea exploration.
