New Process Takes Simpler Approach to Rare Earth Magnet Recycling A new recycling process developed at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Critical Materials Institute (CMI) turns discarded hard disk drive (HDD) magnets into new magnet material in a few steps, and tackles both the economic and environmental issues typically associated with mining e-waste for valuable [...]
Geomega recycle USA Rare Earth's waste Quebec-based mining technology firm Geomega Resources Inc plans to recycle rare earth-containing production waste produced by critical minerals producer USA Rare Earth. Geomega will recycle the production waste from USA Rare Earth's future production of sintered neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets (sintered neo magnets) in the United States. [...]
UMC Recycle Rare Earth Magnets A Texas-based company recycles neodymium-based magnets to make new ones. Urban Mining Company (UMC), USA, has made a new process for reclaiming magnets containing rare earth metals to produce new, higher performance neodymium iron boron (Nd2Fe14B)-type sintered magnets. The methodology offers a practical way to reuse the minerals that are [...]
