Future impact of modern industry is the basic substance, must ultimately special metal functional materials, and rare earth functional materials is the most important one.

Most of China's rare earth mining enterprises located in a large area. In the core area of ​​rare earth resources, China's rare earth industry formed three bases and two major north-south pattern of rare earth production system. Three bases are located in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan and Jiangxi Ganzhou MIANNING represented by seven southern provinces. Including header and mianning region dominated by light REE, and Jiangxi provinces in southern seven heavy rare earth-based. Two production systems, namely the northern light rare earth-based process system and to the south of the heavy rare earth-based process system.

In the new materials industry, "second five" key catalog among the rare earth functional materials selected 25 species, including rare earth magnetic materials and rare earth luminescent materials accounted for 50% of the total.

"Twelfth Five-Year Plan" that, "Twelve Five" period, China is expected to require a total of 40,000 tons of rare earth permanent magnet materials. New energy field, 2015 cumulative production and sales of new energy vehicles will be more than 500,000, according to every need of new energy vehicles 60kw rare earth permanent magnet 3 kg basis, totaling 1,500 tons of rare earth permanent magnet. During the second five efforts to achieve the output value of new materials more than 25% annual growth target. Organizational development of high energy product rare earth permanent magnet materials, new production processes, promoting high coercivity, high temperature NdFeB magnets and samarium cobalt magnets, Sm-Fe-N isotropic bonded magnet powder and industrialization, the new permanent Material production capacity 20,000 tons / year. In foreign countries, of rare earth resources had already been applied to the high-tech military which. Rare is the manufacture of precision-guided weapons, radar and night-vision goggles and other weaponry indispensable element. U.S. "Patriot" missiles to intercept incoming missiles precisely the reason why, thanks to the guidance system used about 4 kg of tungsten-cobalt magnets and titanium boron magnets; U.S. "Aegis" system of spy-1 radar is also used made by the Chinese rare earth magnets. Without these elements, these weapons will blindness.

In the domestic capital markets, be more concerned about the development of rare earth elements and energy-saving hybrid vehicles are interlocking.

And other new materials, like the bottleneck problem faced by the current development of domestic rare earth faces two major problems, one lower grade of products, irrational industrial structure; Second, marketing is not wide enough, not enough widespread application of rare earth products, which are in need of technical progress to give support. "Planning" also mentioned the need to increase R & D investment, focusing on new materials R & D investment accounted for 5% of sales revenue, and built a number of new materials engineering and technology research and development and public service platform.

Because excessive rare earth content of tea, but no such standards abroad to purchase foreign investment in China has brought doubts.

Associated British Foods Group Greater China general manager Su Zhijie recently in an interview with reporters said that due to excessive pesticide residues, lack of traceability system and other issues, the company last year, the world's largest tea-producing countries - China's purchasing volume is less than the amount of its global sourcing 20%, the high cost of procurement lead in China in its 300 years of history, which owns Twinings tea companies profit contribution rate is still less than 1%. In addition, rare limited edition is the standard set by China, China's tea enterprises can not.

Pesticide testing standards with international standards not only hinder multinational companies in China to carry out large-scale procurement, and also restricting the bulk of China's exports of tea from low-end to high-end raw tea transformation. This is also the last year, China's tea exports minus 2.82 percent of the important reasons.

Only China has a rare earth limits

By the end of July, Jiangsu Province Quality Supervision Bureau informed the second quarter of this year, the provincial quality supervision and inspection results, seven high tea brand tea Rare Limited (the total amount of rare earth oxides) project failed. October 2005, our country abolished GB9676 "tea health standards," tea health standards into GB2762-2005 "of contaminants in foods," management areas. According to GB2762-2005 "of contaminants in foods" provides a rare earth content is 2mg/kg, rare earth content in tea that is not more than two millionths.

The standard limit on earth, so that foreign investors who feel a bit strange, because this standard only in China, the EU, Japan and the United States and other major powers had no tea this standard. But they are on this issue very seriously.

"Chinese standards set by their own tea enterprises can not do." Su Zhijie said he first heard about the tea contains rare earth, do not understand how it is, then I find that it is the process of tea cultivation in China naturally occurring The.

Standard problems, but also become a Chinese tea enterprises export bottlenecks.

About Rare limited problems, more than one person in charge of tea enterprises, told reporters that not eating tea and tea leaves, tea is the content of rare earth rare earth containing tea leaves, not a tea containing rare earths.

Previously, according to the China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, Hangzhou Tea Research Institute, National Tea Quality Supervision and Inspection Center jointly launched the process of brewing tea REE leaching studies show that through brewing, tea rare earth elements (the total amount of the oxide ) The total leaching rate of less than 20%, according to the Alzheimer's Association International (ADI) reference value, the current level of rare earth content of tea samples in the brewing process, are not enough to cause food security issues.

Currently, the limits are still rare tea controversy. And because no relevant foreign standards, making the bulk purchase of Chinese multinationals can not rush tea.

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 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 .

Go to the quota of?

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. In 2009 the EU was first proposed lifting of the rare metal products requires China's 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 earths Prices 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." An isolated enterprises in Jiangxi official told reporters, "hungry" is a universal phenomenon, very hungry will 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.

Industry "recession"

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 up to 320 more. 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 overseas Rare weak demand, partly because rare earth prices curbed demand, on the other hand is also a technical bottleneck caused by natural decrease.

Chinese Ministry of Land and official website announced that the 2013 mining of rare earth minerals such as total control indicators have been identified. It is understood that this year China will maintain constant total ionic rare earth mining, while modest increases in rock and mineral type rare earth mining index.

From the point of view other minerals, tungsten mining maintain total control 2012 levels; while controlling the total antimony mining moderately reduced.

26 August 11th ministerial meeting at the office, the Department of Homeland considered and passed in principle "on the MLR issued 2013 annual rare earth ore mining tungsten ore antimony total control notification."

It is understood that, in order to accelerate the transformation of the mode dominant mineral management, and prevent overheated investment market overreaction phenomenon, the Ministry of Land Reform and approval system combines mining, rare earth mine in preparing 2013 annual antimony tungsten ore mining total control indicators clearly, cancellation policies antimony ore mining pause, adjust tungsten and rare earth ore mining differentiated management policy, fine antimony ore utilization indicators restrictive policy.

Meanwhile, the "notice" clearly, antimony ore exploration and mining is no longer suspended registration, according to prescribed procedures and requirements apply. Xinli antimony ore mining rights, should be consistent with total control of mining requirements. Department of Homeland this as "decentralization, changing functions" an important tool.

China is the world's largest rare earth production, application and exporter. Official data show that China has 23% of the world's rare earth resources bear more than 90% of the world market supply. However, due to serious environmental problems facing the mining of rare earth, rare earth resources in China's official current implementation of more stringent environmental standards and eco-protective mining policy.

In fact, rare earths and other important minerals for renovation, this year China's official moves frequently. Middle of this month, the Ministry of Public Security, the Department of Homeland eight departments have jointly organized a three-month special action to combat it. Illegal exploitation of rare earth, illegal production chain of black interests are on the scope of the strike action.

Earlier this year, May to June, the Department of Homeland also carried out one pair of rare earth mining and construction projects recycling of rare earth resources in a comprehensive investigation.

It is understood that, according to the State Council decided in July to December, the Customs Department in conjunction with the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Environmental Protection and other 10 departments in the country to carry out a large-scale struggle against smuggling and joint action. This is our decade biggest smuggling operations. Will be drug trafficking, arms and ammunition smuggling, smuggling of endangered wildlife and its products, rare earth and other resource exports smuggling and defrauding export tax rebates and other illegal and criminal activities of ten special combat.

According to the General Administration of Customs reported in the fight against smuggling of resource products, from Hohhot Customs Investigating a pseudo reported exports of rare earths smuggling and other ways of smuggling cases, involving verification of 130 tons of rare earth, worth 12,090,000 yuan.

Recently, organized by the Ministry of rare earth crackdown is also actively promoting, in the rare earth industry chain hitting and stimulating way to combat smuggling, it is expected rare earth prices will continue to rise. Asian Metal Analysts said the recent volume of rare earth although deserted, but vendors are still optimistic and expects rare earth prices will rise further.
