| Rare resources to reduce global prices |
According to Argentina's "national newspaper" recently reported that the world is facing a rare resource depletion, rare metals prices also rose sharply.
Reported that the car containing the platinum catalyst, fuel cell vehicles also use platinum, if the global 500 million fuel cell vehicles are replaced, then the world's platinum would be exhausted within 15 years. In addition, there being a lot of consumption of indium production of LCD television screens, mobile phones and other electronic products, production of tantalum.
Professor Lei Leer Augsburg, Germany, led the team that the world can use existing indium at most 10 years. In 2003 the price of 1 kg of indium is about 60 U.S. dollars in 2006, has reached 1,000 U.S. dollars. Another material shown that, without increased recycling efforts and antimony used in insulation materials will be exhausted within 15 years, fluorescent lamps need to use the terbium will be exhausted in 2012.
Reported that the shortage of raw materials could mean restrictions on certain technology. For example, gallium has been used to produce solar cells in the semiconductor material, while the latest report shows that existing reserves are insufficient to meet future needs.
Reported that, from now on people should reduce waste and find alternatives as possible and to enhance recovery, particularly in the city is recyclable metal warehouse. As the platinum will continue through the car's exhaust emissions, and spread through the streets, the scientists are looking to extract platinum from the dust the best way. |
