Neodymium Is In Demand And China Controls Its Supply

Powerful magnets are necessary for an iPhone to vibrate or a Tesla Model 3's motor to spin. If you combine neodymium with iron and boron, you can make a neodymium-iron-boron magnet, which is the most powerful type of permanent magnet ever created. And demand for these magnets is on the rise. But 80 percent of the world's neodymium comes from China.
You may not have heard of neodymium, but you're probably carrying some of it around with you right now. It's in your cellphone, your headphones and you might be driving several pounds of it around in your car.
Neodymium - pronounced "nee-oh-DIM-ee-um" - is one of 17 chemically similar elements called rare earth elements, and demand for this metal is on the rise.
"Neodymium is responsible for most, if not all, of the growth in rare earth demand at the moment," said Roderick Eggert, deputy director of the Critical Materials Institute at Colorado School of Mines.
For an iPhone to vibrate, for AirPods to play music, for wind turbines to generate power and for a Toyota Prius or Tesla Model 3's motor to spin, they need powerful magnets. If you combine neodymium with iron and boron, you can make a neodymium-iron-boron magnet, which is the most powerful type of permanent magnet ever created.
In the case of your cellphone and earbuds, using neodymium magnets means they can be physically tiny but still strong. For motors, using permanent magnets means powerful, efficient motors with fewer electromagnetic components.

    They are actually quite common with the exception of luiticium. The source ore is a mineral called mozanite. It's a mix of zirconium, thorium, several rare earths, and silica. The only reason it isn't processed in the US is because of the thorium. Only China dares to process it and the thorium is discarded causing severe pollution near the process plant.

    We have to remember that countries that have rare earth reserves are not the same as countries who produces them. Just like mentioned in this video, it’s not because they are rare, but it is because very difficult to mine them. The superpower countries will try to approach the weaker countries that have significant rare earth reserves but do not have the means to dig them up.

    I remember learning about various types of rare earth metals and how they are commonly found in China. China got lucky with its reservoir of rare earth metals and they are capitalizing on them, as they rightly should! Perhaps saying that they are commonly found in China is incorrect. I should rather say that China mines and processes these rare earth materials much more effectively than other nations. Considering how hazardous the process is, they are taking a risk. If I had some resources that others wanted, I would gladly control them and charge as much as I like, because it has become a necessary component. Firms will pay whatever it takes to ensure that they can manufacture better products. And people will continue to buy them because deep down inside, people are not so worried about the price. They are more concerned with wanting something. Having said that, when other nations decide to embark on the hazardous process of processing these rare earth metals, then the price will naturally drop due to competition. We all know that competition breeds innovation. Then electronics will no longer be so expensive.

    Rare earth metal is literally in every country on earth. China just has the infrastructure to process them, and companies find it easier to buy from China instead of creating a startup or venture to mine them in the US or Japan. Japan as a matter of fact hit a treasure trove of rare earth metals in its seabed, and has already went into researching and developing ways to mine them, the Japanese are obviously geniuses so its only a matter of time before they have a robust method of extracting the trillions of dollars worth of rare earth metals on its shores.

    China doesn't have 90% of rare earth metals in the world, China SUPPLIES 90% of rare earth metals to the world. THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE. Mining rare earth is incredibly polluting and countries like Japan don't mine them because they have environmental laws that China doesn't, in fact Japan has possibly the largest rare earth metal deposits on its shores, and they've been looking for ways to mine them while maintaining their environmental laws, Japanese are smart so its only a matter of time. www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/04/global-trove-rare-earth-metals-found-japans-deep-sea-mud

The lady on the video said that China can take hostage on the rare earth minerals, but the Chinese officials told other countries' officials to mine their rare earth minerals more than 10 years ago, the Chinese also need those rare earth minerals for their own usages. Even this assistant professor made fake news, she didn't do her homework before making her comments on this show.

    It is not just about neodymium. Wind turbines usually need dysprosium, and some sources point to this REE as the most demanded one. Hydrogen-fuel cars, meanwhile, need some kgs of lanthanum (hydrogen storage issue). And erbium is needed in signal-sending wires. Gadolinium has important medical applications.

    There was a US processing plant for rare earths in Indiana. GM owned it and wanted to sell, Chinese were allowed to buy, on the promise to the government that they'd keep it open 5 years. Stupid US government thought the company would then seek a handout to stay open (like all crony companies). Wrong. In 2002, the day after that 5 year period, the Chinese closed the plant, deconstructed it and shipped it entirely to China where they rebuilt the plant the same way it was in Indiana, and got to work. Soon after they controlled the global rare earth metals market. Well done America.
