On October 8, land resources by 2010 as provincial rare-earth mineral resources integration, mining listed key gddoftec list lists listed complies with the standards of 78 rare-earth mines.

The rare earth industry in the reserves of 43 percent, occupies the first. However, in the past decades, China's mix of rare earth oxides price per ton about thousands of yuan, a few yuan per kilogram, someone say Chinese cabbage price.

"The price" rare selling cabbages regret

"Our research achievements into productive forces is successful, but didn't make the advantage into economic advantage." Our country "rare" father of academician of Chinese academy of science, professor xu guangxian says regretfully.

China started in 1972, rare earth cascade extraction theory and new technical research, at present our country in the world of rare earth separation technology, many countries have ahead if they want to buy rare in China must be separated, the technology. However, in the reserves and separation technology in China, but the most advanced and without the pricing. Smuggling, foreign goods, China's stockpiling emergency drilling confusion, resulting in loss of part of the rare-earth pricing.

At the same time, Chinese scientists lack of awareness, unaware of the patent right to restrict the use of private enterprise of rare earth industry in the mining and malignant competition. In the 1970s, China re separation technology becomes one of the world's leading technology, and no patent application, the local enterprises and private enterprises are rare to see separation of profit, factory, achieve more than 100, production capacity to 15 tons of rare earth, and the whole world demand for only 10 tons, the price is low, the rare glut in 1985 to levels below. 1995-2005, this decade China rare earth industry because cheap exports and loss of foreign exchange reach 100 million dollars.

Strategic reserves of rare earth is necessary

With the loss of Chinese, China re superpower will be threatened. Professor xu guangxian suggestion establish rare-earth reserve system.

The total utilization rate is low, mining. From 1958 baotou steel company production by 2008, bayan obo ore mining rare the east 15 million tons, the utilization of less than 10%, Exploitation and utilization 80,000 tons of thorium only to zero. If according to the 2008 mining speed, not controlled, the east mine in 25 years. China southern ionic type rare-earth ore are very precious, heavy rare resources from 1970 to 2007 has consumed only 60% of the utilization of resources, 40%. If the current mining speed, south of ionic type rare-earth ore in 10 years. Then, the United States will become the world's first rare powers, rare earth price will rise of 100 to 1000 times, China will completely enslaved.

With the advanced technologies in China has been the world market, aerospace, wind power generation technology has advanced in the world, and the development of the electronic industry of rare earth rising demand. According to statistics, China's demand for rare earth every year for about 5 to 6 million tons of China re mining, more than half of total, if China of rare earth development speed, decades, China will not be self-sufficient, by "rare" nation will become "rare", the shortage of the development of advanced technology in China. "No exaggeration to say, no re not hi-tech." Professor xu guangxian in our newspaper reporter to interview.

State council development research center, deputy director of LuZhiJiang wrote: "pool leaching process, 1 ton per mining rare to destroy the 200 square meters of vegetation, stripping 300 square metre, 2,000 m3 cement-tailings topsoil, every year 1200 million cubic meters of water and soil erosion. From the perspective, China also environment must carry re strategic reserves, rare earth mining and export restrictions. Since 1958, from the Chinese mining has over 50 years, due to the large private enterprises of exploitation, vulgar regional environment has many factories and serious destruction. For stockpiling tailings tailings dam is a risk factor. Limit, reduce mining rare export quotas, and reduce environmental damage, environmental regulation of important ways.

Rare earth industry development needs standardization management

The professor xu guangxian is rare for production and control limit price is one of the rare scholars. In 2005, the academician of academy of 15 to "protect baiyun obo ore about rare resources, avoid thorium and yellow and by radioactive pollution of baotou flash-appeal", jointly submitted to the state council. On June 26th, 2006 the ministry of land and resources from 2007, decided to limit the production of various rare-earth ore, rare earth shall not exceed the total production 7.4 million tons.

2009-2010, China continues to strengthen the management of the rare earth industry, the rare earth industry rectification, backward production, make the by more than 100 reduced to 20, baotou preliminarily established rare-earth reserve system. Ministry of land and resources exploitation secretaries, said liu and the department of land and resources establishing the major ore concentrate of rare-earth sales network and management system, to each manufacturer mark, regulating the rare-earth exploitation and sales. Ministry of land and resources of mineral exploitation order as special action, professional website established on May 13, letter of rare earth industry admittance to the collection of Chinese conditions, the opinion of rare earth research experts are planning to national congress, rare earth will become a driving force for the development of the rare earth industry standard.
