Since 2010 , Guangxi expensive ( Hong Kong ) Wu (state ) found a large portion of the highway along the rare earth mine in road construction , by consent of the Ministry of Land , Guangxi and then start the rescue of rare earth recycling . But reporter recently learned that since April this year , due to the recovery of rare earth ore project mired environmental problems , causing the work to a standstill . Some industry insiders worry that the highway construction continue to advance , thousands of tons of valuable rare earth resources may be permanently covered or being pressed and wasted potential illegal criminals .

Mine because of environmental problems caused by agriculture contradictory

Reporters learned from the National Land Agency Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region , Guangxi in the heavy rare earth reserves second only to Jiangxi and Guangdong , but overall resources have not yet been fully exploited in the past over the construction of railways, highways , industrial parks found in the course of several rare earth mine, but have not been able to get timely recovery .

Since 2010, the construction of the ( Hong Kong ) Wu (state ) highway Ping County , Teng County roads were found rich rare earth mineral resources. In June 2011 , agreed to by the Ministry of Land , Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region government explicitly , by the Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group Rare Earth Development Co., peel your Wu highway construction out of rare earth recycling utilization.

In April this year , media reports Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group Co., resulting in the development of rare earth rare earth recycling point martial arts town, County of Guangxi environmental pollution and lead to campus safety issues caused dissatisfaction of teachers and students and nearby villagers. Ping County will then shut down all rare earth recycling points and filled in more than 30 rare earth settling ponds within a week , dismantling production facilities in place to achieve restoration of the pool immersion harmless transfer processing .

In July this year , because of the rare earth recycling project in Guangxi Teng County environmental problems of mass incidents , new -town high Tamura hundreds of villagers into the development of Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group Co., Ltd. Rare Earth Rare collection points at the local thwarted plant , resulting in a large number of claims to mine farmland and crops damaged. Qin East Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group Co., Ltd. Teng County Branch of rare earth development general manager , although high Tamura project built plant , but did not begin rare earth recycling operations.

Reporters in the flat south, tengxian field interview that the two are ionic rare earth mine , the " heap leaching " process for recycling , in the implementation process is indeed a serious risk of water pollution and soil erosion . Ping Nan , Teng County environmental department heads both confirmed the rescue of rare earth recycling rare earth development project in Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group Co., Ltd. in the implementation of these two places , although the land department has been authorized , but did not comment related to loop through the approval process .

Recycling project EIA troubled

For blamed environmental issues , aspects of Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group , said rare earth recycling rescue work has been authorized the Ministry of Land and regional government , the relevant department heads and even visited the construction site , but also admitted that so far the project has not been the EIA . GXNF rare company official said the rescue of rare earth recovery projects already played a report on the environmental protection department , but has not been approved .

Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group Vice President Li Fu -screen view that the EIA rare earth mining project requirements are very strict , but the rare earth mine rescue and recovery projects in Guangxi rare earth mining in general is quite different : the former is not involved in the work done to mine mining sectors , but only to the construction of the highway during the dug soil temporarily transferred to a nearby mine , heap leach through approach would displace one of the rare earths , and then go back and do slag fill embankment or other treatment , recycling project ends work will be over .

"So rescue recovery is a short-term behavior , has its particularity. If you go through the normal procedures of the EIA procedure all run down and then start to do at least have 2012 , highway projects already completed, rare earth resources is likely to be constructed over the road permanently , or is an empty lawless illegal mining . " said Lee Fu screen .

Reporters learned that the rich rare earth resources in Guangxi and yet large-scale development and utilization , the current construction of key projects in roads, railways , various industrial parks and urban expansion area ( referred to as two- zone two-wire ) the amount of rare earth resources in the overlying pressure is considerable. According to the preliminary investigation of Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group , the main park and highway Wuzhou Overlaid oxides of rare earth resources in total resources of about 7200 tons , the potential value of 1.296 billion yuan ( down by 18 yuan / ton ) ; southeastern Guangxi and two secondary road Overlaid level road reconstruction resources of rare earth oxides are expected more than 3,000 tons , the potential value of 540 million yuan ( down by 18 yuan / ton ) .

If no measures are taken in a timely manner of precious rare earth resources in the process of building these societies were stripped salvage recovery, once completed, will result in a permanent waste of precious resources. However, due to the country in terms of mineral resources, there is no special rescue recycling laws, regulations and operating standards , there is no practical experience to follow in trouble in terms of environmental approvals .

Recommended the introduction of specialized management approach

According to statistics , as of the end of 2012 , Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group Co., Ltd. of recycling rare earth development along the highway from your wu 496 tons of rare earth , rare earth recycling Cenxi granite mined 948 tons ; 2013 completed 515 tons from January to April , total recycling 1,959 tons , turned tax 7,000 million, promptly rescued important national strategic resource.

Respondents who said that to truly salvage recovery of rare earth good run , on the one hand wants the state as soon as possible relevant management measures to simplify procedures, especially the introduction of "special measures" to rescue recycling of rare earth resources and so on recycling project approval procedures and requirements for specialized and standardized management ; while local governments should improve the regulatory mechanism.

Li Fu screens suggested that such project approval and other formalities for approval by the relevant local departments at the Ministry of Land record ; environmental procedures by simplifying the general construction projects , rare earth recycling units required by the environmental protection department of environmental protection procedures do apply , the process of building good environment protection ; land clearance and forestry land and hope to give handled by temporary land after the end of the rare earth recycling, land were leveled , and then returned to the villagers ; safety supervision by the relevant formalities safety supervision departments to give guidance .

Autonomous National Land Agency deputy director Tian Feng Ming also said that in the proposed relevant state departments for rescue recovery work on everything rare , while also subject to change , "the approval is not re- regulation" of understanding , local governments must strengthen mechanisms to improve regulation. "For example , the establishment of a safety supervision, land, environmental protection , public letter to other departments of the joint working group to co-ordinate work on the recovery of management, from site selection to be responsible for the daily monitoring of the environmental protection department , and regularly publish data for community supervision. "He introduced CENXI rare earth recycling efforts led by the CENXI municipal and joint working group composed of multi-sectoral management, development and utilization of previously relatively orderly.

2013 , the export volume of rare earth Hohhot Customs is 5065 tons , up from 2012 , but exports fell by 50 %. Rare earth export quotas in the country , Inner Mongolia Rare Earth companies can get 25 %. Therefore , the increase in volume and a drop in price Inner Mongolia Rare Earth exports , reflecting the 2013 development of rare earth industry weakness .

Since the third quarter of 2011 , Inner Mongolia 's rare earth industry as a whole showed a downward direction, specific performance prices, shrinking exports . Price Monitoring Baotou City Economic and Information Technology Commission show that in July 2012 , the price of Baotou Rare Earth Carbonate of 68,000 yuan / ton, compared with the high point in July 2011 fell by 23,000 yuan / ton, July 2013 fell to 27,000 yuan / ton ; since November 2013 , called " rare earth market benchmark" neodymium oxide price to 32 yuan, down 11 yuan / ton than July 2012 .

The market continues to decline enormous difficulties for business . It is understood that , at present, about 70 percent of Baotou NdFeB idle capacity , a serious shortage of production started smelting and separation enterprises. Despite the support of government purchasing and storage , but operating income Baotou Steel Rare Earth ( parent company ) 2013 first three quarters of 2012 dropped 50% over the same period , profits shrink 2.3 billion. Rare earth export performance is weak . In 2012, the actual number of Baotou rare earth export of 4,086 tons , only completed 50% of export quotas . 2013 , export quotas Baotou region remains surplus .

Analysis of the reasons for the weak rare earth industry , the industry believes that mainly affected by the following three factors.

First, by the impact of the black earth industry chain. In a rare earth industry conference, Secretary-General of China Rare Earth Industry Association Mayon peaks have been disclosed , it is estimated that the industry beyond the plan , unplanned rare earth production accounted for 50 % of total sales . Illegal production enterprises rely on illegal mining digging steal to get raw materials in the production process, but also to escape the regulatory environment , coupled with the sale of non-payment of taxes to rely on smuggling , the production cost is very low. Black earth industry chain to make regular product sales are sluggish , increasing the regular production difficulties and market malaise .

Secondly, the conflict intensified demand and production capacity of the weak market . The past two years , the world economic recovery is slow , demand for rare earths slowdown , the U.S., Japan , the European Union and other major importing countries continued to decrease rare earth rare earth imports. Meanwhile, after the third quarter of 2011 , the domestic rare earth sharp price increases , cost pressures forced some low-end application of rare earth out of the market . In 2012, global demand for rare earths market less than 10 tons, although in 2013 there has been a slight increase , but the increase is far from digestion of rare earth production capacity, estimated annual consumption does not exceed 20 tons. It is estimated that China's rare earth smelting and separation capacity of 320,000 tons , existing and under construction production capacity of 400,000 tons of NdFeB .

Thirdly , technological advances weaken the strength of rare earth consumption . With prices soaring in recent years, rare earth , rare earth enterprises have applied through technological innovation , or reduce the amount of rare earths , or looking for alternatives. On the rare earths market seminar held in November 2013 , insiders pointed out that , at present, is to light rare earth permanent magnet device development , although rare devices increased demand , but the demand for total rare but not synchronized growth even decreased. Rare earth permanent magnet materials are the most important areas of consumption of rare earth , which reduce the amount of rare earth , to bring pressure on the market is huge. In addition , thanks to technological advances , LED lights has replaced the trend of rare earth energy-saving lamps . LED lights are much less rare than the required three-color light , which makes the global demand for rare earth phosphors declined significantly.

Rare earth creative.

Recently, according to reports from the public , located at Longzhou Bin Xiang big Aoyama with outlaws illegal mining of rare earth ore. After receiving the report , the investigation Longzhou Land Resources Bureau to deploy quickly , sending two action groups of more than 10 people rushed to the spot to carry out enforcement actions illegal mining .

After law enforcement officers rushed to the scene and found the illegal mining operations are large hook machine, forklift one . Law enforcement officers conduct spot for a stop illegal mining , and issued a " Notice ordered to stop illegal mineral " , while the illegal mining staff were laid off, and withheld the illegal mining equipment. According to preliminary investigation, the illegal miners were 4 people from Fujian, Sichuan and other places . Due to high prices of rare earth resources , illegal mining lucrative, criminals have committed crimes against the wind , reap huge profits .

Against the illegal exploitation of rare earth mines prone to " resurgence " feature, Longzhou Land Resources Bureau will establish a leadership responsibility system for the next step , the inspection system of long-term management systems , reward systems , etc., to increase efforts to implement rare earth mine long-term supervision.

Rare known as " the mother of the new material" and " industrial MSG " is one of the most important strategic resources of modern technology essential. Ganzhou as the country's largest production base of rare earth metals and major suppliers in recent years due to the mining and mining -rich disordered abandoning the poor and other factors led to management control , excessive consumption of resources , environmental damage is relatively serious. For this reason, science and technology sectors CPPCC members suggested by the Soviet revitalization wind , stronger Jiangxi Rare Earth Industry .

CPPCC member Chen Jinqing technology sectors , according to reports, early Ganzhou ionic rare earth reserves accounted for about 50% of the country's rare earth mining, separation and metal production capacity accounted for 60 % of the country , respectively , 45% and 60% , is the country's largest rare earth metal production base and key suppliers ; rare earth permanent magnet materials, rare earth phosphor, a group of rare earth hydrogen storage alloy powder processing also have a certain size. And in recent years , Ganzhou Rare Earth Industry main business revenue reached more than 50 % of the country .

" However, due to the development of rare earth resources in Jiangxi ionic early and abandoned mining rich mining disorder and other factors led to poor management control , excessive consumption of resources , relatively Guangxi, Fujian and other places, is no longer obvious advantages in resources , and environmental damage relatively serious. Meanwhile , Jiangxi Rare Earth Industry and power companies and more dispersed , with no integration into Xiamen Tungsten like Rising or relatively complete industrial chain of such a large enterprise , can not form a consistent external force. Separation of low-end products like industrial overcapacity , and less deep processing and high value-added products , the industry 's relatively poor infrastructure, competitiveness and industrial agglomeration effect is not obvious . "Science and technology sectors CPPCC members said.

In addition, Jiangxi despite the industrial advantages, but industry experts have significant influence almost all concentrated in the north, the introduction of related industries in the country while often in a passive ; various innovative elements such as various technology platforms , universities and research institutes failure to integrate the innovative power of innovation together form the majority of enterprises in particular, the lack of professional and technical personnel processing personnel, R & D input and output efficiency is difficult to foresee , high risk , resulting in lack of their own willingness and ability of innovation , failed to form a production, learning , research , government, bank and institutional mechanisms for effective integration , resulting in the contribution rate for the entire industry and technological innovation, not really the rare earth resources in Jiangxi into industrial advantage.

For the problems of Jiangxi Rare Earth Industry , science and technology sectors CPPCC members suggested that we should take full advantage of Jiangxi South Sioux district revitalization of organic opportunity to actively seek more central rare earth industry policy support , for supporting the establishment of rare earth deep processing industry in Jiangxi special funds , while the provincial Government set up a special fund supporting ; fight for the country in the development of related industrial policy can have a certain number of professionals involved in Jiangxi rare Earth ; seek more intellectual aspects of rare earths and technical support ; accelerate the progress of the central enterprises into Gan ; win more projects and funding .

Should be scientific and reasonable industrial layout adjustment and to government-led , market-oriented to industrial restructuring and mergers and acquisitions, moderate to retain the low-end industries, focus on the development of high-end processing industry in the province to build 1-2 with a complete industrial chain and core competitive force large or large enterprises ; especially support Ganzhou rare Earth Group to improve the industrial chain ; give full play to the role of resources, strengthening resource allocation, leading enterprises play the leading role , supporting the superior work to do to support the strong , the introduction of strategic managers, the introduction of enterprise institutional mechanisms for the management of modern enterprise management system and the company of the enterprise ; introduce strategic investors, according to market principles to encourage corporate mergers and acquisitions , and strive to Ganzhou rare Earth rare Earth Group into a national industry group platter .

In addition , it is recommended to support the establishment of innovation in Ganzhou Rare Earth Technology Park , the establishment of rare earth deep processing industry base ; fully play its role in the province 's various platforms , the necessary elements of integration, the universities and research institutions into research and innovation system in Jiangxi place in the past ; government and business should work together to do Zhuchaoyinfeng government nests , businesses cited Feng .
