SMM survey: what kind of metal do you like most in 2022?
Recently, the second docking meeting of northern rare earths and Youyan rare earths on the cooperative action of central and local enterprises was held.
Huang Xiaowei, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chief scientist of Youyan rare earths, attended the meeting. Qu Yedong, director, general manager and deputy secretary of the party committee of Northern rare Earth, presided over the meeting. Members of the leading group of Youyan rare earths and relevant responsible persons of the research and development department, marketing department and compound business department; the northern rare earths section attended the discussion in the senior executives of the package and the relevant responsible persons of the functional departments and molecular companies.
At the meeting, the person in charge of Youyan rare earth project introduced the central and local cooperation projects in turn. Subsequently, the participants exchanged and discussed the joint research and innovation, the green and low-carbon transformation of smelting separation, the high-value utilization of lanthanum and cerium products, enterprise management and so on.
Qu Yedong pointed out that the cooperation between northern rare earths and Youyan rare earths has a long history, and the two sides have achieved complementary advantages, mutual promotion of development, and combination of strength and strength in scientific research and innovation, so as to promote the sustained and healthy development of the rare earth industry. In recent years, under the guidance of continuously promoting the strategic transformation with rare earths as the focus, northern rare earths continue to increase investment in scientific and technological research and development, technology and talents, consolidate the foundation of the extension of the industrial chain, and promote the green, digital and intelligent development of the rare earth industry. With the opportunity of this cooperative action between central and local enterprises, northern rare earths will further make use of the platform of the state key laboratory for the research and comprehensive utilization of rare earth resources in Bayan Obo, give full play to the advantages of scientific and technological innovation, and form a long-term mechanism of close joint cooperation. we will promote the implementation of cooperative actions between central and local enterprises in a more extensive, in-depth and more comprehensive manner.
Huang Xiaowei said that in this docking work, the northern rare earths put forward valuable opinions and suggestions around the green and low-carbon transformation and upgrading of the rare earth smelting separation industry, strengthening the joint research of scientific and technological innovation, the collaborative optimization of the supply chain of the industrial chain, and promoting the development and utilization of high-abundance lanthanum and cerium products, providing a large number of ideas for the follow-up work of rare earths. In the next step, Youyan rare earths will further dock and exchange with northern rare earths, refine the implementation plans for the industrialization of scientific and technological joint innovation, market supply chain industry coordination, and management promotion, do a good job in the implementation of the work, and jointly carry out good pairing cooperation to ensure the completion of the set tasks and objectives of SASAC and to achieve the high-quality and sustainable development of the enterprise.
