An Overview on Rare Earth Management in Malaysia

The demand for rare earth elements (REEs) are rapidly increasing each year. The estimated world demand for rare earth elements is 136,000 metric tons per year. This demand is projected to rise to 185,000 metric tons annually by 2015. Currently, China is the global supply of the REEs. To overcome t...

Currently, China is the global supply of the REEs. To overcome this problem, Malaysia has become one of the countries that provide rare earth production (separation and refining).
