Three Measures To Standardize The Development Of Rare Earth Industry In China

In December 28th,

China's first discharge standard for rare earth pollutants has been worked out and will be implemented next year.

Zhang Anwen, Deputy Secretary General of the China Rare Earth Society, said the standard limits ammonia nitrogen emissions to 15 milligrams per kilogram and 5 mg to coastal provinces such as Jiangsu.

Zhang Anwen believes that this standard is related to the survival and survival of domestic rare earth enterprises, which can not be ignored.

Similarly, many rare earth enterprises have begun to improve their production processes with a view to meeting the upcoming emission standards.

Yan Huizhong, a rare earth Research Institute of Baotou Steel, said that Baotou Steel started improving production technology last year and reduced the discharge of waste water and waste gas, which has been greatly improved in the decomposition stage of rare earth metals.

Yan Huizhong believes that after the introduction of the standard, because of the high cost of pformation, some small businesses will face the danger of bankruptcy.

The head of a rare earth smelting enterprise in Guangdong said that in order to meet the new emission standards of rare earth pollutants, the company has invested about 5000000 in production and pformation and upgrading.

Enterprises that invest in high cost control of pollutant emissions mean that a new round of fruits will be shared in this round of integration of the rare earth industry.

The person in charge said, "the cost has increased a lot, but enterprises must develop and survive."

However, Yan Huizhong is worried that according to the price of rare earth this year, there will be profit after the completion of the sewage pformation. If the price goes down, the cost pressure will increase.

Rare earth resources tax ad valorem levy is direction

In December 27th, a long-time expert on rare earth research revealed that the relevant departments have recommended the collection of rare earth resources tax ad valorem.

He said he could refer to the current tax rate of the oil and gas resources tax from the tax rate imposed on the ad valorem.

The experts believe that the collection of rare earth resources tax will be more reasonable to compensate for the exploitation cost of resources.

At the meeting in December 28th, Wang Caifeng, the raw materials department of the Ministry of industry and the former assistant inspector, told the financial reporter that the levying of the rare earth resources tax will be a direction for the future, but there will be no hasty decision.

She believes that adjustments should be made according to the situation of different resources and enterprises.

The rare earth industry "China Steel Association" is ready.

"The preparation of China's rare earth industry association is ready, and the superior department is the Ministry of industry and commerce."

In December 28th, Wang Caifeng, the raw materials department of the Ministry of industry and the former assistant inspector, said so to the "finance and economics" reporter.

A rare earth enterprise official said that in the field of rare earth export and production quotas, it is imperative to set up an independent enterprise association. This is also a buffer organization between the government and enterprises.

According to its introduction, 93 domestic rare earth smelting and separation enterprises have been collected.

As one of the main preparatory members of the association, Wang Caifeng, who has retired from the Ministry of industry, is also the first to make a public appearance in front of the media in the near future.

Wang Caifeng was more cautious in his media interviews, but he was also pleased to express his views.

She said that the specific responsibility of the association is to help the government to play an assistant role in the exploitation, production and cooperation of rare earth.

She said that the association will reflect the actual situation of the enterprises to the competent departments, and do a good job in the bridge between the enterprises and the government. "We also hope that the association can play a leading role in the healthy development of the industry, just like the China Steel Association."

However, she did not disclose who will take up the post of chairman of the China Steel Association, known as the rare earth group.
