Control the export of western and exclaimed rare earth "by the Chinese to wear the shackles".

<P> More than six months, the rare earth suddenly became a new confrontation between the U.S. point, the U.S. media and trade officials had been fixed, the Chinese Rare Earth hold reserves and management policies. ."Middle East oil, China has a rare earth," the Chinese rare earth resources, production, exports are the first in the world, but China has long-term control of others, the number of rare-earth price buyers have the final say, once sold for the price of pork .. .From the early 70s of last century now, oil prices have gone up three or four times, which were Americans, "determines the fate of its defense," the earth, the price rose in the last 30 only 20%. .As China prepared to make rare earth business at reasonable prices, Western and exclaimed, "by the Chinese put on chains." ."Global Times" reporter has to "Rare Earth Capital" header and the world's largest rare earth mine Bayan Obo ore interview, only to see the earth being sold at times left "traces", also felt the future of China rare earth industry .Production and applications have confidence. .</ P> <P> Bayan Obo in the hotel had a "Middle East oil, China has a rare earth" </ P> <P> in Baotou Rare Earth park entrance, there are rows of embossed walls, embossed on one side there is .Therefore, a portrait of Deng Xiaoping, and engraved in 1992 when he said "Middle East oil, China has a rare earth." .This formulation has been talked about China's rare earth sector, in fact, Deng Xiaoping in the back of this sentence --- There are clear instructions, "must take the good things of rare earth, to exploit the advantages of China's rare-earth! ."" Middle East oil, China has a rare earth, "such words, journalists are still under the jurisdiction of Baotou Bayan Obo iron ore and the hotel lobby to see before. .</ P> <P> rare earth resources in China to become the first big country, began in the Bayan Obo iron ore discovery. .Starting from the header press, drive north for about 3 hours later arrived in the Bayan Obo. .Bayan Obo in the Mongolian language in the "sacred mountain rich" means, but the locals jokingly call themselves "post-Hermit," because here in the north of Yin. .Bayan Obo area in one of the main street stands a statue of a geologist Ding Daoheng the last century, 20 years, he discovered the Bayan Obo is a large iron ore, then, there is only one black peak, because the lack of water, both .is not a grazing point, not a few households around the Mongolian herdsmen come here, almost all of a famous mountain in order to worship the gods obo. .Found after 7 years for mining, mineralogist He Zuolin in the Bayan Obo iron ore to find the two rare-earth minerals. .Because REE content and variety of the world's largest Bayan Obo rare earth ore. .</ P> <P> first arrived in Bayan Obo, many locals say is the most worth a visit on the two huge mining pit. .Mine entrance clad security personnel guarded, there is no strict procedure for persons and vehicles into the mine will be turned away. .Reporters came to the height of the main mine in a small purpose-built viewing platform, see a depth of about 200 meters, the short diameter of 1 km to the promise of a long diameter of about 1.5 km to the oval-shaped pit. .Accompanying industry source said, where the viewing platform halfway up the mountain as before, the above did not dig early half of the mountain, originally the famous obo, Mongolia in the Bayan Obo ore mining before the masses will migrate to other places. .Large open pit is dug down layer by layer mining, open floor to blast once again blasting the amount equivalent to four earthquakes, Bayan Obo said they have been accustomed to level 4 earthquake. .</ P> <P> workshop materials are Baotou Bayan Obo ore mined over the years is mainly iron ore, rare earth mineral is associated mined, not by a huge amount of exploitation of rare earth or with the tailings slurry is ranked .into the dam, or also accumulate in the Bayan Obo ore dumping around the venue. .</ P> <P> origin in the earth some small villages were also relocated because of any mineral exploitation inevitably leads to environmental pollution. .In Baotou, the reporter saw about 11 square kilometers in an area the size of the tailings dam, which is actually a "lake", a number of sub-channels from the ring dam pipe of one's clothes into his lake. .Boarded the ring about 4 meters high dam, could see a lot of water in and around a number of rare earth tailings effluent is discharged into the giant lake. .The dam has a name called "Rare Earth Lake", data, date, approximately 160 million tons of tailings into the lake, while the tailings of the rare earth content of 5% or more, a sense .The whole earth is a rich mine tailings. .But the problem is, this lake on the surrounding environment of rare earth is a threat to the heavenly stems and strong wind when the radioactive dust, the lake has caused water leakage around the land salinization. .Met a reporter at the dam next to the informed passers-by, he told reporters two years ago, the government simply all of the surrounding eight villages moved out. .In fact, there are some rare-earth experts had also suggested that this should be far away from the Yellow River, also in a geological fault zone on the dry lake deep earth, both to prevent pollution of the Yellow River geological disasters, and secure protection for the rare earth resources .. .</ P> <P> application level is not high for the price of rare earth in China for many years to eat a loss </ P> <P> rare earth is lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium and other 17 kinds of metal elements referred to in the Baotou National Rare Earth Hi-tech .Technology Industry Development Zone, each staff member talking about the elements of these rare but hard to pronounce names are in verse, might sound under the reporter also said that they are Japanese. .According to a senior engineer Li Zhenhong MC introduced the role of these 17 elements can be described as extraordinary, rare earth of human understanding of time, but 200 years to succeed, to identify all these elements and find out all it took 100 years, really began to study the characteristics of rare earth elements .and used in industry was 60 years or so, especially in the past 20 years, new materials and application technology of rare earth high-tech sector can be described by leaps and bounds, due to the electronic structure of rare earth elements is very special and has a very rich optical, electrical, magnetic and thermal properties .Almost Every 3 to 5 years will find a new use of rare earth, averaging four a high-tech inventions have associated with the earth. .In a variety of new rare earth materials, rare earth elements are usually small and the increase of the amount of the function of large, therefore, has often been compared to "industrial vitamins" or "new materials, vitamins." .12 </ p>.
