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 , there are media reports of 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 .

July of 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 one or two years , 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. from expensive rare earth development along the highway Wu were recovered 496 tons of rare earth , rare earth recycling Cenxi 948 tons of granite mining ; 2013 1-4 months to complete the 515 tons , with a total recovery of 1,959 tons , the tax paid more than 7,000 yuan , timely rescue an 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 improve relevant mechanism strengthen supervision . "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.

November , on the Utilization of Mineral Resources , Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Sciences ( hereinafter referred to as "Chengdu Comprehensive house" ) , it is also a very productive day. With the " Guizhou Chongqing region of low-grade bauxite ore availability evaluation", " suspension calciner mine development" and a number of project results to adjust successfully passed the acceptance , the 2011 Chengdu Comprehensive Geological Survey carried out in all the items complete. Geological Survey project's successful completion , not only demonstrates that where technological innovations leading role model, but also greatly enhance the utilization of mineral resources as is the ability to provide technical support .

"This year , we are on the scientific and technological highlights outstanding , low-grade bauxite and oolitic hematite mineral processing research to get a breakthrough in the acceptance review meeting has been highly appreciated by specialists . Meanwhile, we also succeeded in 'going out' , for the first time signed a $ 1.5 million Australian rare earth mineral processing technology research projects. " The director of Liu Yachuan said excitedly.

We must first sharpen his tools. In the era of technological innovation has become the mainstream of development , comprehensive utilization of mineral resources, attention increasingly to social context , as the comprehensive utilization of mineral resources in the field of science and technology innovation an important support units , Chengdu is how comprehensive the forged "weapon " and play the role of a good leader to lead it ?

Targeting the " Big Five" minerals unwavering

As China Geological Survey Bureau under the central public geological survey team, Chengdu are mainly engaged in comprehensive evaluation of mineral resources , comprehensive research and development work . Built by nearly 50 years , the Institute has always adhered to the scientific and technological innovation for the legislature of the country, on the one hand and technological innovation, on the one hand the transformation, in the difficult to use iron ore, non-ferrous metals associated minerals , low-grade bauxite , " three dilute " the comprehensive utilization of resources continue to achieve new breakthroughs in research areas , firmly occupy the leading position in the development of China's construction Panxi vanadium-titanium magnetite , Bayan Obo rare earth niobium iron polymetallic ore, Jinchuan copper-nickel mine three ore as a symbol of a large resource base , provide a reliable technical support and strategic basic information , and to Yichang phosphate rock , manganese carbonate Xialei Guangxi , Inner Mongolia, Huanggang iron complex refractory low-grade tin and other new types of minerals from " difficult to use mine " becomes "available mine ."

"Chengdu Comprehensive have abundant human resources , technical resources, and so on. Over the years , the Institute has been committed to the field of research utilization of metallic minerals , which formed a large number of scientific research and innovation experience . Fortunately, this area played a leading role in technological innovation , Chengdu consolidation of responsibility. " Liu Yachuan Schmidt said:" However, the study was a comprehensive utilization of mineral resources involves many kinds of mineral resources and requires continuous innovation of systems engineering, not eyebrows beard grabbed , you must play to their strengths and expertise around the national shortage of minerals , to carry out targeted research and research. "

In fact, in early 2012 , the National Strategic Action prospecting breakthrough just started when the consolidation of Chengdu, Ministry of Land and China in accordance with the unified arrangements of Geological Survey to determine the main direction of his research - around the national shortage mineral and strategic resources , focus on strengthening difficult to use iron ore, non-ferrous metals associated minerals , low-grade bauxite , " three rare" resources , low-grade phosphate rock "five minerals ," actively engaged in prospecting breakthrough strategic action the main battlefield.

Difficult to use the comprehensive utilization of iron ore has been the study of the strengths. Over the years, the continuous innovation Chengdu comprehensive vanadium titanium magnetite and hematite oolitic utilization research, has been leading the development of the industry , and has attracted many Panxi and mining enterprises in Hubei Province concern. " Now, many mining companies are actively looking to come to , that our technological achievements, and asked for them to provide services on the beneficiation process . " Liu Yachuan said.

The inclusion of the China Geological Survey Bureau "2010 Top Ten Geological Survey Progress " and " western Hubei Ningxiang type iron utilization technology research " in recent years has made new breakthroughs , from the original re-election Desliming to magnetic off mud, mud off and then re- suspended magnetic roasting - magnetic separation - reverse flotation process , processing costs continue to decline . Plagued our country for many years worldwide problem - the use of oolitic hematite problems are gradually solved.

In recent years the Institute launched a " low-grade bauxite beneficiation technology" research is also news of success , following the success of selected " 2012 Top Ten China Geological Survey Progress " , this year Guizhou Chongqing region for low-grade aluminum bauxite beneficiation technology research has also made a historic breakthrough , the Al-Si ratio of 4 about the use of low-grade bauxite to become a reality.

The Utilization of Mineral Resources areas where scientific research strength , not only won the favor of many domestic enterprises , has also been recognized by multinational companies and foreign companies . Consolidation of Chengdu this year , it was undoubtedly the most landmark " three rare" beneficiation technology out of the country - the successful signing of a contract amount of 1.5 million dollars in Australian rare earth mineral processing technology research projects. And this is only the prelude to the door step . It is understood from the United States , South Africa, several companies are also to discuss some of its mineral beneficiation technology research projects.

"In doing domestic projects simultaneously , with the big companies, the project done abroad , establish an international brand , to improve the Chengdu comprehensive scientific and technological innovation , and expand development of great significance. " Liu Yachuan representation .

The reason why some well-known international companies , " election" in the Institute , fancy is their strength. But due to the different nature of foreign ore , implementing projects abroad is not easy.

" Despite the high grade rare earths in Australia , but the quality is low , it is difficult enrichment , beneficiation technology requires a higher than domestic . " The Institute 's deputy director in charge of research and Ping Yim said:" We want to play good in the technical aspects of rare earth mineral processing technology, to strengthen scientific and technological innovation, and strive to do a better job of foreign rare earth mineral processing projects , more solid , we establish brand. "
