  • 2018: Achieved ISO 9001 quality-management certification; launched first high-purity lanthanum oxide and cerium oxide products.
  • 2020: Added a production line for rare-earth permanent magnets, entering the magnetic materials processing sector to serve motor and wind-turbine manufacturers.
  • 2022: Co-founded the “Rare Earth Functional Materials Joint Laboratory” with multiple top Chinese universities to accelerate advanced-materials R&D.
  • 2024: Annual output of high-purity rare earth oxides surpassed 2,000 metric tons, ranking among China’s top five mid-to-high-end rare-earth suppliers.

3. Core Technologies & R&D Strength

  1. Separation & Purification:
    • Proprietary multi-stage solvent extraction coupled with ion-exchange membrane separation achieves efficient light/heavy rare earth separation.
    • Optimized process minimizes acid and water consumption; tailwater is treated to zero discharge, meeting China’s strictest environmental standards.
  2. Functional Material Development:
    • Custom NdFeB and SmCo magnet powders with maximum energy product up to 52 MGOe and thermal stability to 220 °C.
    • High-brightness rare-earth phosphors (Europium- and Terbium-doped) for LED backlighting and laser display applications.
  3. Intelligent Manufacturing & Quality Control:
    • Fully digitalized Production Execution System (MES) for on-line chemical analysis and real-time process tracking.
    • Six-Sigma management yields a first-pass product qualification rate of 99.8%.
