Rare earth catalysis is also used in many fields such as automotive exhaust gas purification, synthetic rubber, paint drying, plastic stabilizers and rare earth polymer materials. 3, the Chinese government's rectification of the rare earth industry China's rare earth industry has a pivotal position in the international arena. In recent years, in view of the disorderly development of China's rare earth industry, theft of mining and the lack of laws and regulations, and many other issues. In 2011, the Chinese government rushed to introduce a series of policies and regulations on the rare earth industry. On February 28, 2011, the Ministry of Environmental Protection officially issued the “Rare Earth Industry Pollutant Emission Standards”, which will be implemented from October 1, 2011. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Environmental Protection said that this is the first national pollutant discharge standard issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period. The formulation and implementation of the standard will help improve the entry threshold of the rare earth industry and accelerate the transformation of the rare earth industry. Ways to promote the structural adjustment of the rare earth industry and promote the sustainable and healthy development of the rare earth industry. On May 19, 2011, the State Council issued the "Several Opinions of the State Council on Promoting the Sustainable and Healthy Development of the Rare Earth Industry" (hereinafter referred to as Article 22). According to Article 22, after years of development, China's rare earth mining, smelting separation and application technology research and development have made great progress, and the scale of the industry has continued to expand. However, there are still illegal mining in the development of the rare earth industry. The smelting and separating capacity expansion is too fast, the ecological environment is destroyed and the resources are wasted seriously, the high-end application research and development lags behind, and the export order is chaotic, which seriously affects the healthy development of the industry. Article 22 from clear guiding ideology, basic principles and development goals; establish and improve the industry supervision system, strengthen and improve industry management; carry out special rectification of rare earths in accordance with the law, effectively maintain a good industrial order; accelerate the integration of rare earth industry, adjust and optimize the industrial structure; strengthen rare earth Resource reserves, vigorously develop rare earth application industry; strengthen organizational leadership, create a good development environment and other aspects of China's rare earth industry has been comprehensively elaborated and guided, can be described as the most important policy documents since the development of the rare earth industry. Article 22 clearly states that in 1-2 years, the establishment of standardized and orderly rare earth resources development, smelting separation and market circulation order, disorderly exploitation of resources, deterioration of ecological environment, blind expansion of production and export smuggling are effectively curbed. Basically form a rare earth industry pattern dominated by large enterprises. Article 22 also gives a clear division of labor for the first time. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Commerce, the Information Office, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the General Administration of Customs, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Supervision will jointly escort the rare earth industrial ship. On September 30, 2011, Premier Wen Jiabao signed the "Decision of the State Council on Amending the Provisional Regulations on the Resource Tax of the People's Republic of China" (hereinafter referred to as the decision), and decided to separately list the rare earth mineral tax rate in the non-ferrous metal ore, adjusted to 0.4- 60 yuan / ton, the resource tax adjustment program settled. In April 2011, with the approval of the State Council, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation have issued notices and decided to adjust the standard of raw ore resource tax and tax for rare earth minerals from April 1, 2011. The announcement of the State Council's order is to formalize and clarify resource tax adjustments. Since April 1st, the newly implemented standards for rare earth resource tax are: light rare earth, including bastnasite ore, monazite ore, 60 yuan / ton; medium and heavy rare earth, including xenotime, ionic rare earth ore, 30 yuan / ton. In the provisional regulations on resource tax before adjustment, rare earths are levied according to the upper limit of “other non-ferrous metal ore mines”, that is, the tax standard is only RMB 3/ton. This means that the rare earth resource tax will increase by 10 to 20 times. On April 8, 2012, China Rare Earth Industry Association was established. China Rare Earth Industry Association is a national first-level industry association, 13 non-ferrous metals associations, Chinalco, China Minmetals, China Nonferrous Metals, Baotou Steel Group, Luzhou Rare Earth, Guangyu Nonferrous and other 13 key units as promoters, currently a total of 155 members Units cover all aspects of the industrial chain.
