Dysprosium oxide (rare earth oxides production - from rare earth carbonate concentrate)

The activity generating the emissions is rare earth oxides production, from rare earth carbonate concentrate. The reference product is dysprosium oxide. Dysprosium is a lanthanide, a rare earth element, that is predominatly obtained from the ion adsorption clays of southern China - representing approximately 99% of world production - as a by-product of yttrium extraction. Dysprosium oxide (Dy2O3) is most commonly used in the production of laser materials and commercial lighting, as well as for permanent magnets used in electric car motors and wind turbine generators. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
