Rare case of waiting for the results of the Sino-US WTO

It is reported that some time ago the dispute between China and the United States in the case of rare earths , China appealed again , and then identify if any of WTO organization practices and WTO rules do not comply , then this would mean that from 1998 onwards the implementation of China's rare earth exports system will be forced to end. This is China 's lost , it may cause a chain reaction .

Rare WTO dispute against China triggered a chain reaction.

March 26 , World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that China's export management measures rare earth, tungsten, molybdenum related products violations. Less than a month , on April 17 , China had submitted relevant documents to appeal WTO Appellate Body , the WTO panel ruling to overturn part of the report . But before China , the United States was first appeal on April 8 .

This rare trade dispute "tug of war " you come back to me is the game of interest between countries . Accompanying , of rare earth export quota system implemented since 1998 or will be forced to end the rare earth industry will also face a series of policy adjustments .

Concerned about the transfer of mineral rights and mineral rights transactions .

Within one month of Sino-US cross- appeal.

March 26 , WTO announced the United States, European Union, Japan v. China rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related to the case of the panel report : China's ruling export management products involved violations. May 9 , " China Economic Weekly" reporter learned from the Ministry of Commerce , China, as the responding party to the WTO 's Appellate Body has (Appellate Body) submitted the appeal papers on April 17 . Interestingly, the appeal before China , the United States was on its complaint Chinese rare earths, tungsten, molybdenum WTO Dispute related export management measures , the WTO Appellate Body first proposed the appeal on April 8 .

United States filed an appeal before the Chinese catch appeal , this unconventional approach in China Rare Earth Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Chen Zhanheng appears that the United States was convinced that China will probably only appeal ahead of an appeal. " According to U.S. media reports, they will follow if China Appeals to appeal . Doing nothing more than to Dingsi the case , is to make China the abolition of quotas and export tariffs on certain rare earths . "

Rare has " industrial vitamins " reputation, 17 kinds of rare earth elements are usually divided into two groups of light rare earths and heavy rare earth , rare earth elements is very different from the price difference between the price of a tonne tens of thousands to millions of dollars. Today, high-tech industry as an essential raw material , has become an extremely important strategic resource. This is why many countries and regions the United States, Europe, Japan and other so concerned about the problem of rare earth export quotas and tariffs of the important reasons.

It is learned that the appeal documents submitted by the Chinese side is mainly for WTO panel report more than 170 passages raised objections that the report misinterpreted the WTO rules and China's WTO accession documents, and then asked the Appellate Body rejected the panel report concerning China's " export quotas "illegal and so ruled .

Currently the cost of rare earth separation products appear upside down

Because of the current market for rare earths serious excess capacity , black chain repeated, downstream industries demand weakened , the vast majority of rare earth product prices remain low , thinly traded. Separation costs which products appear upside down , in addition to the price of individual species praseodymium oxide, praseodymium , neodymium and other relatively strong, most of the rare earth oxide prices fell last year .

Wood Yi Zhang made ​​the remarks in a jurisdiction listed Hainan held the 22nd annual results 2013 online collective briefing , he believes the rare earth industry is facing very severe form of management , but in view of the country 's rare earth industry consolidation to continue to strengthen over the long term rare earth industry is still a good prospect.

It shows that the recent stock market as a whole is relatively stable rare earth weak turnover , upstream businesses shipped more downstream receiving significantly less disk capacity , most businesses wait and see outlook .

Rare pollution transfer of clean energy

WTO announced the United States, European Union, Japan v. China rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related to the case of the panel report , and ruled that China's export restrictions imposed in violation of free trade regulations.

The latest ruling means not only to discuss China since 2005 to implement the rare earth export quota system will face an end , but also triggered a series of issues surrounding rare earths . Regardless of the United States , European Union, Japan, in the case of rare earth export restrictions by limiting the supply of rare earth in China in exchange for other diplomatic achievements , or manipulate international prices of rare earth accusations are true , the domestic rare earth buyers will indeed because of reduced exports of rare earths benefit . In other words, because of the rare earth forced "to export domestic ", the domestic supply increases , prices remain low , resulting in the loss of natural resources caused by over-exploitation , calculate its cost of production in the downstream equipment manufacturers when ignored. While those using rare earth clean energy technologies such as permanent magnet direct drive wind turbines , new energy vehicles , energy storage , and even the promotion of energy-saving LED light bulbs are also worthy of further investigation .

According to the State Council in 2012 released " China 's rare earth situation and policy " white paper , China 's rare earth reserves account for about 23% of the world's total reserves. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance statistics, China in 2013 to provide 120,000 tons of the world's rare earths . Which is mainly used for the number of new energy technologies to reach 30,000 tons .

Wind power on a global scale is regarded as the most mature , but also the lowest cost of electricity generation clean energy technologies. According to the Global Wind Energy Association statistics , in 2013 , global wind power capacity reached 35 GW , which uses the number of permanent-magnet direct-drive wind turbine technology accounted for 25 %, about 4500 units. Each permanent magnet direct drive motors main material NdFeB (NdFdB-Neodymium Iron Boron) requires one ton . From 2014 onwards, the annual global demand for wind power development of rare earth , permanent magnet direct drive wind turbine capacity according to forecasts , will be close to 6,000 tons.

Clean energy demand for rare earths in the same car can not be ignored. In the world of electric car batteries are widely used nickel metal hydride (NiMH - Nickel Metal Hydride, mainly used in hybrid cars ) and adding lithium iron rare earth (Lithium-ion, mainly used in hybrid and pure electric car ) two battery . Take the 2013 global sales of new energy vehicles ( including hybrid and pure electric vehicles ) to calculate the total rare earth use is more than 2000 tons . In addition , the same use of rare earth lithium batteries as the energy storage device , and a fluorescent element LED bulbs used in rare earth mining demand will also increase each year.

Since the implementation of China's rare earth export quotas , foreign enterprises to ensure that his country needs new energy technologies of rare earth , have set up a joint venture in China , together with the exploitation of domestic enterprises , including the United States mining group Molycorp. The rapid development of clean energy to reduce local pollution, but the pollution - excessive exploitation of rare earth remain in the country .

In addition , the domestic in the past five to 10 years time to accelerate the development and utilization of new energy technologies , electric vehicles and battery energy storage development and promotion has not stopped, but are built on the basis of price competition . The average selling price of the domestic wind turbine prices below the international average of 15% to 20 % of domestic electric cars more than 50% of the price even lower than the international level . Able to obtain a price advantage on the premise that the cost advantage , especially the transfer of pollution cost advantage.

In fact China's rare earth export restrictions policy shift from simple production processes . 2012 began to include more competent departments of Commerce, Ministry of Environmental Protection , the Ministry of Industry , etc. are involved in the regulation of rare earth mining and processing order. But so far low inefficient disorderly exploitation of rare earth continues, the individual provinces mined several times more than the approved amount of the reality still exists, causing severe environmental damage.

In order to achieve the goal of reducing air pollution , clean energy can not unilaterally increase the installed capacity from the start, or focus only on the quantity of crude oil has been replaced , but the need to increase R & D investment , particularly from improved resource utilization and resource recycling .

Rare PVC stabilizer during landing results

After a year of trial and error, Baotou Rare Earth Rare hospital successfully developed a new type of PVC stabilizer non-toxic, environmentally friendly, long-term stability and good for . Currently , rare earth PVC stabilizer in the test line is under construction , scientific research and is expected to achieve during the year .

It is understood that , at present , rare earth rare earth stabilizer hospital pilot project has been completed equipment tender , is expected to more than three months after the construction , installation , debugging put into operation, is expected to achieve scientific research and then went into effect.

When using PVC material is heated to 200 ℃ require pretreatment , the need to add material to prevent thermal decomposition of PVC stabilizers . At present , the domestic PVC stabilizer to lead salt stabilizer most widely used , but there are safety hazards environmental issues. To meet the international trend to ban lead on PVC industry , China in recent years have gradually taken a series of measures to limit and reduce the use of lead salt stabilizer , lead stabilizer will gradually withdraw from the market , PVC materials production enterprises urgently need a stabilizing effect good cheap alternative and environmentally efficient products . The successful development of rare earth stabilizer , PVC producers can meet the demand for environmentally efficient stabilizers great extent.

Rare hospital engineer Zhang Yuxi told reporters , accounting for 3.5% PVC stabilizer weight , and now our nation's annual PVC production is 13 million tons , and production is still rising , demand is also increasing year by year stabilizers , especially our stabilizer overall lead ban is imminent. The main component of the rare earth lanthanum cerium stabilizer element content is about 10% , the annual output of 13 million tons terms of PVC per year to use 40,000 tons of elements lanthanum , cerium , lanthanum surplus for digestion Baiyunebo Ce important.

Rare earth prices relatively stable, individual traders watching the market temporarily

Rare earth prices relatively stable, the current market downturn , businesses frankly bad shipment. In the course of the current market decline , individual traders watching the market temporarily , offer not positive, that prices will continue to fall . Europium, terbium market , prices continued to slump shocks, adjust the range of about 500 yuan / kg. As previously terbium oxide quoted at 3,200 yuan / kg , now quoted at 3,150 yuan / kg , merchants can accept shipment prices fall further . Europium oxide market purchases Inquirer still less , the price will remain at about 3800-3900 yuan / kg.

Currently dysprosium products market, according to the manufacturers and traders with knowledge of Ganzhou , today offer basically stable, the price is more concentrated in the 1.63 million yuan / ton, reflecting some traders without tickets prices have fallen 1.4 million yuan / ton . With ticket offer relatively slightly higher in the 1.67 million yuan / ton, but there is a business to reflect quoted so high it is difficult to sell.

Other oxides , such as holmium oxide prices also appeared this month down, according to Ganzhou manufacturers that now only a few stocks , with ticket prices at more than 390,000 , was also reflected in other industry businesses holmium oxide prices have dropped to 35, 36 ten thousand yuan / ton. China Rare Earth Industry Association recently holmium oxide quoted at around 37-39 yuan / ton.

Most of today's Baotou Rare Earth Oxide Exchange price volatility is very small, turnover is also deserted. As of 14:00 , praseodymium, neodymium , erbium oxide turnover of less than one ton , europium, terbium , dysprosium, lutetium oxide turnover of less than 100 kg .
