We never learn that in school. This is the best analysis so far.
Simple, very understandable and well-done explanation about Rare Earth Metal. Congratulations TRT World-Insight.
Huawei vs Apple
Turns to
Xi Jinping vs Trump
Turns to
Rare Earth metals 😂
This Chemists is very knowledgeable!
Definitely the go-to guy for knowledge on this subject. I've started looking up other videos involving Andrea Sella.
China is a major shareholder in the Mountain Pass mine in California, they acquired it for 21 million US$, chump change for China, and it has one of the best ores with up to 8% concentration of REE. Mountain pass exports 90 % pure REE oxides to China.
I think they only own around 10%. Definitely not enough to have a controlling interest.
Javier Harth any sources for your info? You don't seem very accurate with your numbers.
A Privately owned company : North American Strategic Minerals ( NASM ) has a geologic model which has resulted in the discovery of huge REE reserves in North America , enough for independent supply for the West.
Andrea Sella has a BBC podcast about all the elements , its pretty good if you are interested in this stuff. I think its actually called "In their Element "
everyone seems to be looking at coal ash the wrong way. lithium, sodium, potassium,
rubidium, cesium, francium, iron, magnesium, arsenic, cadmium,
sulfur, Lead, mercury, chromium, uranium, and other parts of the mix are
valuable commodities. with new methods of extraction being developed every year
purification through extraction of these in demand elements leaves very little
to worry about and reduces the need to open new mines. better in equipment than in the water table.
Well said and the USA has mountians of coal ash.
In reality, it is extraction and purification that matters here, not the raw minerals supply. Separation chemistry is complex and rather costly. It was never developed until recent decades because there was too little demand for those elements.
Best explanation wrt geopolitics
Please don't interrupt the gentleman when he's trying to answer your questions.
Was Mtn Pass mine forced to file bankruptcy and shut down because it could not compete with China in order to produce REE's, or was Mtn Pass forced to file bankruptcy and shut down for because numerous spills from the mining by product had contaminated the dry lake on the CA/NV border and the Mtn Pass mine was up to their necks in law suits from the EPA and other groups?
It just sound better to pass the blame to someone else.
After all, if the China was to blame, why has the Mtn Pass mine re-opened with a cleaner greener way of handling mine waste?
Plus the world would be a better place with less or no more military weapons being made.
R F military use of rare earth elements is tiny. 5% or less. Enough that the US could get it from recycled old electronics, for example. The phosphor in old cathode ray TVs contain certain rare earth elements, for example.
Besides, China certainly wouldn’t stop making weapons, would they? Do you think it would be good for Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan if only China produced weapons?
Ekky Thump.
Goodies fan's will understand.
Sella is cool!
China is leading in the production of Rare Earth Metal because it controls much of the huge deposites in Africa one of them is the Chambeshi Mines in Zambia.
Mbombo Aimaim No, China doesn’t control any deposits outside of China worth talking about. There are rare earth deposits everywhere. In fact, the best rare earth mine is in California. It’s rare earths are separated in China, though.
No, China does most of the refining because it is willing to accept lots of pollution so they can do the refining slightly cheaper than everybody else. That’s it. The pollution is so bad that it destroys much more value in China than the rare earth production creates. It’s actually a huge loss for China.
If you want to work together to find this rare earth material... I know the location of the producer of this material in Indonesia... Please reply.. thanks..
There are NO 17 rare-earth MINERALS..... Rare earths are ELEMENTS and not MINERALS. "Element" is not equal to "minerals". Btw, the current number of rare-earth-BEARING minerals is, at least, above 80.
There is a 25% tariff on rare earth minerals that the US consumer will have to pay.
Can we recover these metal's from our old phones, computers, and TV's? Have e-waste drop off store fronts. They could also sell refurbished items at a discount to get people to recycle.
Polska cat To a large extent, yes. Nobody would starve without Chinese rare earths. All that would happen is that production would ramp up or restart elsewhere and that Trump would get a yuge propaganda win if Gina was foolish enough to make good on its threat. All that would accomplish is that everybody else would see China as an even more unreliable trade partner than they already do.
While you are at it, you may as well claim that you can recover gold from electronic equipments ... ha ha ha
twenlil we can, actually. Enough that it is often worth the effort to do so.
US: time to harvest the rare moon
Very dissappointment that no one has touched a critical part of these elements.The geology of them!They are mainly found in Carbonatite complexes especially in rift systems.I am about to publish my MSc.Thesis on Carbonatite deposits of the Southwestern Tanzania.
I better go get a new phone before it's to late.
Did he just thank the gadolinium and then thank the guy? 🤔
“Magnets used in batteries”
Needs work on the editing script.
The professor was good.
yep to lai chuon kui
There will be no phones in the future.
Be prepare fo invader.....
Enemies Ahead !!!
Help !!!
Get To The Safe Zone ! ASAP !
lol pubg

Retrain and re-employ taxi and truck drivers into the rare earth mining industry. There, solved 2 problems for you.
Remember China runs Africa, and that is where the unexploited reserves are.
You must live in Wakanga. China big boss for REE oxide production.
China big boss, full stop!!
The mineral reserves in Africa don’t matter. There are high quality deposits everywhere. Creating rare earth concentrate is relatively easy. It’s separating the rare earth elements from each other that is hard. China chose to do it the easy and cheap way that pollutes a lot. The West knows how to do it with little pollution but that’s more expensive.
@pproust A gentleman somewhere in here already expressed that view, and I agree with it. Then where else do you expect poor standards and total lack of safety to be acceptable? Africa of course. Remember China is rising and sooner or later they will mind the safety of their own citizens just like other developed countries do.
hello
classmate
Is this guy a salesman for rear earth ???😂
Rare Earth....
Wow. Why cant. Each country use just what the country needs. It's a national security issue. We do not need to buy anyone else and we're dont need sell any. Too simple. I know. Each to his own okay :)
Dunia banyak bahan knp Cuma Tiongkok yg pintar buat dan negara dunia cuma pandai makai bahan tersebut, sdh habis propesof dunia blm ada yg pandai kenapa,bisa mesti Tiongkok dan tidak sombong 2010 stop ke jepaang lalu jepang menyerah, mengapa tehnologi Tiongkok bisa kuasai dunia, ,
Solving the rare earth metals problem by flying to the moon or Mars, that will not be no more rare ie. finding moon rich or Mars rich metals.
Is this Turkish fake news ?
I thought it was quite accurate; a bit simplified on the Science side.
Is it just me, or do I find it cringey when the scientist explains what some of the elements are and what they are used for to the anchorman like a kid? Come on there is a brilliant thing called the internet. Besides, neodymium is quite widely known these days.
You are right. He should have dumbed it down further because it all seemed to fly over the anchor’s head.
I dislike being talked to like that, as if I haven't taken 3 years if Chemistry, 3 years of physics, advanced mathematics(BEFORE they changed math), and worked as a pharmacy tech for 4 years during highschool and college. Broad education, actually in a public school and state college, but awesome teachers involved with projects funded by government that were happy to discuss with us what the world will unfold. Chose to stay out of the rat race but am able to communicate in a level that I don't accept being spoken to like a child. Not all of the so called unwashed masses are ignorant of knowledge, we just don't have to brag about it for attention. Wish people who think they know better would stop thinking they know better and treat others like what they are, adults....
F-35 is not most advance fighter jet in the world...
asrar ahmed yes it is. Whether it will actually work is another matter. It is too advanced by far, actually.
The fight with North Korea is not because their leader is a dictator it is also because of rare earths. The same with Afghanistan if I am not mistaken.
