Abstract
Rare earth elements occupy a pivotal position in modern science and technology and are the "vitamins" in modern industry. China's rare earth reserves account for the highest in the world. The Bayan Obo deposit located in the northern part of Baotou City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is the largest rare earth deposit in the world, Its rare earth oxide reserves of 48 million tons, was discovered by Professor Ding Daheng in 1927. To date, geologists at home and abroad made a lot of research work on the deposit, but its cause is still a long-standing controversy, restricting the related deposits The focus of the controversy is that the deposit has both the geochemical characteristics and typical sedimentary characteristics of igneous rocks and has obvious characteristics of metasomatism
