Rainbow Rare Earths achieves milestone in rare earth oxide separation progress source:Mining review Rainbow Rare Earths has achieved group separation of rare earth elements through initial ion exchange test work ongoing in the USA. This achievement marks a significant leap forward in the rare earth oxide separation process, opening doors to the production of individual [...]
A bright idea for recycling rare-earth phosphors from used fluorescent bulbs Recycling facilities collect glass and mercury from thrown away fluorescent bulbs, but discarded lighting could also supply rare-earth metals for reuse. The 17 metals referred to as rare earths aren’t all widely available and aren’t easily extracted with existing recycling methods. Now, researchers have [...]
Revolutionising Rare Earth Element supply chains:Groundbreaking study advocates circular economy approaches Researchers have developed an innovative integrated model to evaluate the revolutionary potential of circular economy approaches on global supply chains for essential rare earth elements (REEs) such as neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium. This is part of a groundbreaking study co-led by Newcastle University. According [...]

Rare Element Resources (RER), in cooperation with its technology partner, defence and diversified technology industry leader General Atomics [...]
Researchers explore for rare earths in Alaskan seaweed source:Innovation news network A research team led by the University of Alaska Fairbanks has been awarded a $1.9m federal grant to explore whether Southeast Alaskan seaweed is absorbing rare earths. The study will look at Alaskan seaweed near Bokan Mountain, a remote landmark on Prince of Wales [...]
Recycling Rare-earth magnets could transform the green economy source:physics world James McKenzie looks at the work of University of Birmingham spin-off firm HyProMag, which has developed a technique for recycling rare-earth magnets Growth prospects Rare-earth permanent magnets are vital for the “green economy”, but with more than 99% scrapped, the potential market for HyProMag’s recycled [...]
Visit the Magnetic Materials and Application Industry Chain Exhibition On the afternoon of March 7, 2024, MPCO organized a visit to the 2024 Shanghai International Magnetic Materials and Application Industry Chain Exhibition held at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center, aiming to gain an in-depth understanding of the latest applications of rare earth [...]
Loss of Permanent Magnet Magnetization Due to Cold Temperatures Exposure Loss of magnetization due to cold temperatures exposure is a phenomenon that occurs in various types of materials, particularly in magnetic materials. This phenomenon is commonly known as the “superparamagnetic effect” or “temperature-dependent magnetization.” It results from the thermal agitation of the atomic spins in [...]
Loss of Permanent Magnet Magnetization Caused by Heat Exposure Loss of Magnetization Caused by Heat Exposure - Exposing a magnet to high temperatures can decrease its strength or permanently damage its structure. Usually this happens at very high temperatures, but for certain neodymium magnets this can happen as low as 60°C. Magnets are characterized by [...]
Customised Magnets for The Automotive Industry Automotive challenges The automotive industry operates according to the Just-In-Time (JIT) principle. One of the prerequisites for successful JIT production is a reliable supply chain of suppliers that meet the defined quality requirements. It is important that they can respond to changes in prices, specifications and forecasts. This keeps [...]
