Breakthrough in the China's Separation Technology for Extraction of Rare Earth Elements

Separation technology of rare earth elements （REEs）, as the critical step in the separation process, had long been fraught with technical difficulty. A research project conducted by Baotou Shibo Rare Earth Extraction ＆ Equipment Co. Ltd., Baotou REE Research Institute, and Baotou Steel ＆ REE Group Hi-Tech Co. Ltd （Inner Mongolia）, has successfully solved the problem using a centrifugal extractor and advanced techniques to achieve a key breakthrough.

Brief news

中国稀土中长期需求预测及政策建议——基于协整误差修正模型

稀土由于其行业特殊性、复杂性,目前国内对稀土需求多以定性方法进行预测,为了取得可靠的稀土需求量预测数值,将协整技术引入研究稀土需求的长期均衡关系中,对稀土需求的长期关系与短期波动情况进行量化分析,建立了我国稀土需求预测的协整—误差修正模型,估计出中国稀土需求的长期收入弹性为1.24、价格弹性为3.56、结构弹性为1.03,并将需求模型与情景分析法结合,模拟了解释变量在不同增长率下我国稀土短、中、长期需求量的变化。模拟结果表明,至2020年中国稀土需求量将突破20万吨,而相对于2017年国土资源部只有10.5万吨的开采指标,未来我国稀土管控任务艰巨。最后,从政府和企业两个层面提出了稀土产业管控的主要政策建议。

中国稀土市场供需非均衡性分析与预警

供需非均衡问题是影响中国稀土市场良性运行的主要因素之一。本文通过延伸非瓦尔拉斯均衡理论及模型的应用领域,对中国稀土市场的有效供需开展非均衡性分析,并建立双曲线型聚合方程,使用2000—2016年中国稀土市场供需、工业企业和采矿业宏观基本面年度数据进行实证分析,探究了长期以来中国稀土市场供需不平衡状况的根本症结。研究表明,中国稀土市场具有的结构分散、买方垄断、价格偏低、黑稀土频现以及政策干预性强等特点,是其呈现非均衡性的重要成因。基于灰色关联诊断得出:稀土价格、生产技术、生产成本、企业收入、企业负债、宏观政策和工业发展状况等是影响稀土有效供需的敏感因素。从非均衡度测算值看,稀土市场供需的非均衡变化趋势大致为:从有效供给过剩转变为有效需求略旺。依据预警线设置,稀土市场较多年份呈现35%以上的供大于求重警状态。本文结论可为促进中国稀土市场均衡化发展提供一定的理论依据和决策支撑。
