en.Wedoany.com Reported - The first phase of China Northern Rare Earth's new generation green rare earth mining, beneficiation, smelting, and upgrading project has recently commenced production, with the production line now fully operational. The main workshop structure for the second phase of the project has been completed, and equipment installation is currently underway.

This project focuses on the green, intelligent, intensive, and high-end development of the rare earth raw material industry, incorporating industry-leading new processes, technologies, and equipment. By constructing a complete automated production line for rare earth smelting and integrating multiple intelligent equipment systems, the project aims to enhance the intelligence level of green rare earth smelting equipment, promoting high-quality, efficient, low-consumption, and flexible intelligent production. This initiative will continuously improve the comprehensive utilization level of Bayan Obo resources, building a higher-quality, more efficient, better-laid-out, lower-carbon, and safer industrial development pattern to ensure the safe and sustainable development of the industrial and supply chains, further enhancing the competitive advantage of China Rare Earth industry.

Once fully operational, the project is expected to reduce acid and alkali consumption by over 20%, fresh water usage by 30%, and energy consumption by approximately 15%. This will effectively improve the intensive, efficient, low-carbon, and environmentally friendly utilization of rare earth resources, promoting the sustainable and high-quality development of the rare earth industry and its downstream application sectors, while making positive contributions to regional economic and social development.
