Recycling Method of Sintered NdFeB Magnet Waste The waste recycling of NdFeB materials is usually divided into two directions: one is to separate and extract various elements, especially rare earth elements, in the NdFeB waste to prepare oxides or other compounds with a certain purity, which can be used as raw materials for different applications. [...]
Sustainable Recycling of Rare-Earth Elements from NdFeB Magnet Swarf: Techno-Economic and Environmental Perspectives Rare-earth elements (REEs) are increasingly susceptible to supply risks due to their limited geographical availability and growing demand in clean energy applications such as neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets used in electric vehicles and wind turbines. When NdFeB magnets are produced, 6–73% of swarf [...]
Microbes Can Recover Rare-Earth Magnet Materials From Consumer Waste Recycling these materials critical into high-tech products could be crucial as the cost to mine and refine them continue to climb. Rare earth elements (REEs) such as neodymium and dysprosium are essential for technologies like solar and wind energy, advanced vehicles, and modern electronics like smartphones. [...]
