Hardware Trends--Rare-earth Separation Enterprises Seek to Fight Overseas Technology Outflow or Intensify

"China's rare earth smelting and separation technology is the world's leading, the United States rare earth experts add up to less than 5, rare earth to contend with us, how to contend? never be able to resist." Quzhou mining company, said.

As the country continues to strongly control rare earths, the above situation may change.

Recently, each network has learned that the strict control of rare earths has caused many domestic rare-earth owners to begin their transition to overseas markets. This may allow China's industry-renowned rare earth separation technology to face an outflow.

Are some bosses overseas looking for a good Mercedes-Benz or Maserati? Recently, rare earth "upstart" Li Ming (a pseudonym) has fallen into trouble with the transfer.

In the "rare earth kingdom" Shuozhou, because of rare earth, such as Li Ming, such a night out of riches. “In the first half of the year, there were more than 100 famous cars and sports cars. They were all bought by rare earth owners.” On September 21, the owner of a rare earth smelting and separation company in Zhangzhou said that people who make rare earth business in the first half of the year have made profits. The wealth of many people has increased by 10 times.

However, the state’s strict control over rare earths has caused a group of segregated companies to lack “m”. "There are not many stocks in hand, and they will not be out of stock if they don't go to Guangdong." On the evening of September 21, a high-level rare earth separation company in Zhangzhou revealed to each net.

Every Jingnet participated in the 2011 China Rare Earth Market Investment and Development Forum. It was learned that most of the rare earth separation and smelting plants in Zhangzhou had been discontinued due to the suspension of production and production indicators in the Zhangzhou Mining Area. “At present, several rare earth mines under the jurisdiction of Zhangzhou have been discontinued. Since the indicators were completed, almost all rare earth separation and smelting plants have also stopped production.” Deputy General Manager of Zhaozhou Rare Earth Mining Company Lai Zhaotian confirmed.

A person from a local Selangor company stated that “since the rare earth mine stopped, many separation plants turned to recycling waste, but there are very few scraps on the market”.

More and more segregated companies are beginning to consider relatively relaxed overseas seeking opportunities.

"At present, there are many rare earth owners in Ganzhou have the idea to go to Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian regions and the African region to do rare earth business." The above-mentioned Yanzhou Mining Company sources said.

According to this person, foreigners sent people to China to inspect rare earths on many occasions. “You can visit factories, but you can't learn technology because China doesn’t let them.” However, as the country continues to strongly control the rare earth, the above situation may change. "This may lead to a bad outcome. A large number of Chinese rare earth smelting and separation technologies are outflows."

According to media reports, the privately-owned rare earth smelting and separation company—Cangzhou Jidong Rare Earth Co., Ltd. has negotiated rare earth projects in Africa. Its overseas investment and construction of an annual output of 3,000 tons of rare earth oxide extraction production line project has been approved by the Jiangxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission.

Experts: Light and heavy rare earth should be treated differently according to public information. In August this year, Luzhou City issued the “Circular on Release of Controlling Indicators for Total Tungsten and Rare Earth Ore Mining in the Whole City in 2011”, which currently includes rare earth minerals from Xinfeng and Qixian. Has basically stopped production.

In the rare earth industry, remediation like this has been common in the past two years and gradually overweight. According to latest information from each network, China's rare earth resources are mainly produced in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, Jining, Shandong, and Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province. The government has recently signed a joint action plan for the development of light rare earth minerals in the three provinces (regions) of Mongolia. This is the joint action of China's supervision of light rare earths after the implementation of the coordination of the heavy rare earth development supervision regions in the five southern provinces.

In view of the different values ​​of China's rare earths light and heavy rare earths, Meng Qingjiang, deputy secretary-general of the Jiangxi Provincial Rare Earths Society, suggested that due to the different content of rare earth elements, some heavy rare earths should be protected for exploitation, but for light rare earth elements with large reserves, The supply should be determined according to market demand. “The state should issue relevant strategic reserve plans as soon as possible to reserve rare earth elements such as lanthanum, cerium, and lanthanum.”

According to published data, among the 17 rare earth elements, medium-heavy rare earth metals represented by lanthanum, cerium, and tellurium are more scarce than those of light rare earth metals, which are widely used, and are widely used in advanced industries such as defense and science and technology. , unique to China. Meng Qingjiang said in an interview with each Jingwang that only the rare earth resources in China are currently known, but the number of specific reserves is still unknown. "What is certain is that in the earth's crust, rare earths are richer than common non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, lead, zinc, and tin."
