Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates efficient rare earth recovery in neodymium-iron-boron magnets, indicating sustainable recycling benefits.

Key Points

  • This study aims to develop a sustainable recovery method for rare earth elements from NdFeB permanent magnets.
  • Integrated upcycling strategy involving solid-state chlorination and selective separation techniques
  • Focused on recovery of neodymium, iron, and boron with high purity
  • Analyzed valorisation of iron and boron fractions for industrial applications.
  • Achieved rare earth element recovery yield of 99.8 ± 0.1% with up to 98.2% purity for oxalates
  • Iron fraction valorized into hydroxides for use as catalysts in green ammonia production
  • Boron fraction utilized in Pd-catalysed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling for pharmaceutical production.
