Rare Earth

Selects the color of the rare earth elements

There is increasing scarcity of land for cropping.

But this shouldn t be a threat at all, because the world has ample reserves of these elements. Indeed, rare earth elements are rare only in the sense that they are distributed in small quantities and must be extracted from ores, a time consuming process.

Greek'lanthanein 'for'hidden'. The Lanthanoids are also called the'rare earth 'elements.

(b) Affordability housing in cities, where land is scarce, is becoming increasingly expensive, which makes owning or even renting prohibitive, especially for indigenous peoples who tend to be among the poorest in almost every society.

(b) Competition from rare earth producers incorporated in foreign countries, especially China, which is the world s largest producer of rare earth.

1. Asian Rare Earth (ARE) was incorporated on 23 November 1979 to produce rare earth compounds and calcium phosphate from monazite.

China s move, however, put the rest of the world on alert. Many countries are now planning to develop their own or alternative sources of rare earth elements, and to accelerate efforts to develop technologies that are free of them.

Sparse

In Central Africa, they include the competition for scarce land and water resources in densely populated areas.

A4.3.2 SECTION 2 Hazard identification

For example, 97 of the world's Rare Earths are produced by China, most from a single mine in inner Mongolia.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY

The de facto export ban on rare earth elements often referred to as industrial vitamins struck a terrible blow to Japanese companies, which rely on China for 97 of their supply. Among a variety of rare earth elements, neodymium and dysprosium are widely used as a magnetic material for motors in environmentally friendly vehicles and home appliances, while erbium is used as a dopant in optical fibers and cerium as an abrasive for polishing liquid crystal display (LCD) glass.

1. The Government of Japan provided the Special Rapporteur with information on the allegation relating to Asian Rare Earth (ARE) (para. 52).

That's very rare.

How very surprising.

There's nothing magical about it

(sparse applause)

But China has another motive for tightening the noose on rare earth exports it wants to force high tech firms to operate in China, so that local companies can absorb their technologies. A senior official of a Chinese company has said that, even though rare earth exports have been restricted, Japanese companies can secure their supply by launching operations in China.

But here's what's surprising.

The islands are sparsely inhabited.

There's so little food in this soup.

I don't care if you all go away

It's not like scarce objects, where sharing means we each get less.

The air is thin at the top of a high mountain.

Take it easy.

The usual sort of thing.

Hard Wisdom for Scarce Water

I vaguely remember meeting him.

Many of them extremely rare.

I don't think Curt knew till he crossed the enemy coast.

You need to use scarce resources.

Think of it like a primordial ooze, okay?

But he was not young anymore.

Real bonanzas are few and far between.

I don't know. Because it's scarce.

A big luscious pearl.

It ain't as though there wasn't plenty of it.

One person's not that unusual.
