The answer: apparently not. We currently have no effective method of recycling earth metals. In fact, rare earth metal recycling does not even exceed 10 per cent, only reaching 3 to 7 per cent from end-products. The reason for that is because current recycling methods for REMs are currently generating too much hazardous waste and just plain ...

The CMI's recycling process is designed to extract the rare earths directly from shredded e-waste. "We take that shredded mix and we put it in solution, but our solution targets the magnet—and it leaves the rest of the components of the mixture undissolved—and dissolves the magnet that contains the rare earths," said Nlebedim.

The Recycling and Disposal of Rare Earth Magnets. While the recycling of rare earth magnets – including neodymium and samarium cobalt – is technically possible, it is not scalable or efficient for most businesses. In fact, less than 1 percent of rare earths were recycled as of 2011, due to a combination of technical, financial, and ...

Only a tiny fraction of rare-earth-containing products is recycled. Recently, a group of researchers discovered a separation process that could make purifying recycled rare earth elements much less expensive. The Impact A substantial portion of the cost of recycling rare earth elements is tied to their difficult separation.

How to Recycle Magnets. The magnet made from rare earth is not a new technology. It was developed by scientists as early as 1982. Its official name is "NdFeB strong magnet". The method is to extract Nd, Fe, and B from rare earth to form the metal body and then turn on current to magnetize. The neodymium magnet is the most powerful magnet at ...
