Comparisons of hydrocarbon-produced waters from multiple basins and experiments using multiple shales illustrate water–rock interaction influence on produced water chemistry.


Significance The rare earth ores China imports from the United States will face a 25% rate, however, reducing the attractiveness of processing the material in China. The rare earth exchange-traded fund that US equity investors can buy has lost around 50% since January 2018 with the 1-billion-dollar rare earth elements market experiencing an uneventful 2018 after years of oversupply. Impacts If the renminbi continues strengthening to the dollar, Chinese exporters will ask for a higher dollar-denominated price for rare earths. Calls to nationalise the 75%-Chinese-owned Mountain Pass mine in California may intensify should the US-China trade negotiations fail. China will continue to consume 70% of its rare earths output, and its exports are likely to continue to avoid tariffs.

ABSTRACTImmobilization by vitrification is one potential disposition option for a portion of the United States’ excess plutonium inventory. Research has been performed to determine the glass forming region of a frit, plutonium and rare earth system. The frit contains mainly oxides of aluminum, silicon and boron; small amounts of ZrO2 and SrO are also included. The rare earth elements provide a flux to the glass during processing. The rare earths are also added as neutron absorbers (to prohibit criticality) in the final vitreous product.This report will show the compositional region, using Th as a Pu surrogate, that should be targeted in future studies for maximum Pu solubility in the lanthanide borosilicate glass system. Durability data and process variables will also be provided.

The article presents the results of the analysis of the global market of rare earth metals for the needs of the armed forces abroad. The Article also estimates the direction of development of the US legislative system in this area, as well as presents the results of comparing the levels of development of production of rare earth metals in the US and China.

Since a large number of cheap rare earth from China entered the international market in the late 1980s, the rare earth structure in world started to change, and China replaced the United States as the largest rare earth producer and exporter. However, due to Chinas rare earth management and other factors, rare earth prices have rebounded. The foreign rare earth new production capacity is about to increase production in recent years, and the global rare earth structure will change in the future. Through analysis of rare earth import and export, as well as rare earth prices over the past decades in three major trading countries, China, Japan and the United States, this article points out that the diversified pattern of global rare earth supply will be formed, and China will continue to be the main supplier of the worlds rare earth. China should abandon the practice of one to support the global market in the past, and create a harmonious international trade environment.

Once a leader in the production and trading of rare earths, the United States relinquished the reins to China in the 1990s. The People’s Republic of China declared rare earths “protected and strategic materials” and proceeded to control production and processing, introduced export quotas, and sought to dominate the supply chain for crucial applications. It also made investments in mines worldwide. The 2010 crisis caused a parabolic rise in prices, leading the United States, the European Union, and Japan to file a complaint against China at the World Trade Organization, in 2012, and to launch trilateral cooperation workshops, starting in 2011, to promote recycling, substitution, and innovation. China lost its WTO appeal and removed the export quotas in May 2015. The market corrected itself, and it may seem today that China lost an initial battle; but closer examination indicates that it may not have lost the war.
