The Criticality of Metals | cie.research.yale.edu The current and prospective reserves and the likelihood of development have been extensively studied for major industrial metals (e.g., iron and copper). Increasingly, industry is employing most of the remaining metals of the periodic table, often in relatively small per-product amounts and for highly specific physical or chemical attributes. This may be for the manufacture of new high performance alloys (perhaps using molybdenum, cobalt, niobium, etc.), for specialized applications in electronics (hafnium, tantalum, etc.), and for a number of other purposes (e.g., emerging energy technologies). In many cases, the long term availability of these “specialty metals” is essentially unknown, partly because they are mostly byproducts of the major metals. For the past three years, Professor Graedel’s research group has built upon the NRC framework to evaluate metals criticality. PublicationsGraedel, T. Nassar, N. Graedel, T. Erdmann, L.; Graedel, T.

Corporation - BUSINESS - Floating Production Storage and Offloading - Floating Production Storage and Offloading News There is a flurry of activity at the Samsung shipyard in Geoje, Korea as the Petrojarl Knarr floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit begins to take shape. In mid-2011, Teekay Corporation announced an agreement to provide BG Norge Limited with a FPSO unit for the Knarr field. In October 2011, the project’s first milestone was met when steel was cut for the hull of the approximately USD 1 billion unit. On May 21, a keel-laying ceremony marked the successful completion of the project’s second milestone. On June 2, President & CEO of Teekay Petrojarl, Peter Lytzen, visited the shipyard. Above is a picture of the lifting of the Knarr gigablock at the Samsung Yard. The unit is due to deliver during the first quarter of 2014. Located in the Tampen area of the North Sea, the Knarr field is estimated to contain recoverable reserves of some 60 million barrels of oil equivalents.

Annual Reports International Resource Panel - Home The International Resource Panel was established in 2007 to provide independent, coherent and authoritative scientific assessment on the sustainable use of natural resources and the environmental impacts of resource use over the full life cycle. By providing up-to-date information and best science available, the International Resource Panel contributes to a better understanding of how to decouple human development and economic growth from environmental degradation. The information contained in the International Resource Panel’s reports is intended to be policy relevant and support policy framing, policy and programme planning, and enable evaluation and monitoring of policy effectiveness.
Harland and Wolff - Cameco Inc La high-tech est née au XVIIIe siècle - Electronique et Télécoms 150 ans, voilà le temps qu'auront mis les chimistes européens pour révéler l'existence de 17 métaux rares comme le lutécium, le thulium, le scandium, le tantale ou l'yttrium. Ces minerais, que l'on utilise aujourd'hui couramment dans les composants de nos iPhone, de nos réacteurs d'avions ou de nos filtres à particules automobiles, ont imposé aux scientifiques de multiples manipulations pour les isoler des roches où ils se nichaient. D'ailleurs, le premier de ces métaux, ramassé en 1787 à Ytterby (Suède) par un minéralogiste amateur suédois et lieutenant d'artillerie, Karl Arrhenius, ne révélera tout son potentiel que 56 ans après sa découverte. Grâce aux travaux de deux chimistes, qui isolèrent de la roche noire yttrium, ytterbium, terbium, et erbium. Pour se forger une idée du travail qu'exigeaient ces découvertes, penchons-nous sur la dernière, celle du lutécium en 1907 par le français Georges Urbain [photo].

Workshop on Steelmaking Raw Materials and the 71st Session of the Steel Committee Dec 2011 OECD Workshop on Steelmaking Raw Materials OECD Conference Centre, Paris, 5 December 2011 Background Developments in steelmaking raw material markets are receiving increasing attention by governments and industry alike. Strong demand for key steelmaking raw materials – notably iron ore, coal/coke and ferrous scrap – as well as national raw material strategies, trade policy and regulatory issues have raised concerns about the availability of supply to meet the demands of the global steel industry, as well as the impact of the resulting rising costs and price distortions between markets. The purpose of the Workshop was to bring together policy makers, raw material producers and steel industry representatives to exchange information on raw material market developments and problems pertaining to the availability of raw materials. Outcomes of the workshop Ferrous scrap reserves are mainly in developed economies. Workshop programme The workshop was organised in three sessions: Session 1. Mr.
