Source:Japan TodayLONDON/HOUSTONThe Chinese government is limiting domestic production of rare earth minerals in the second half of the year, a move likely to crimp international exports and send prices for the critical materials higher, according to data from Adamas Intelligence.China is by far the world's largest producer and consumer of rare earths, a group of 17 elements used to make electric vehicles and consumer electronics. The move is already forcing manufacturers to scour the globe for alternative supplies.For the second half of 2018, China's quota for rare earth separation an...

Source:The Edge Markets MYSINCE Lynas Corp set up its rare earth separation plant in Gebeng, near Kuantan, in November 2012, Malaysia has become one of the top producers of rare earth oxides (REO) in the world.However, the plant, one of the world’s largest, has not spurred the development of a high-tech industry around it, unlike the Eight Samurai effect in Penang — the catalytic role played by the pioneering multinationals in spearheading the country’s high-tech manufacturing industry.Apart from local regulations, a key reason why that has not happened with Gebeng is that all of the plant’s p...

Electric motors are simple, with just a handful of critical components. For mechanical reasons, a housing is required; it’s called a stator because it stays put. A rotor is needed to spin a shaft and create torque. To make the motor work, the stator and the rotor need to interact magnetically so as to convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Two rare earth elements, neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr), are the key raw materials in ultra-strong permanent magnets, which are essential to the electronics, technology, automotive and electric motor industries.NdPr Oxide is a key component in...
