Recycling of rare non-ferrous metals is an important method for reducing the cost of rare material,protecting the non renewable mineral resources,energy conservation and environmental protection in the non-ferrous metals melting industry.It is widely used in this field home and abroad.The processing and utilization of revert is the key for non-ferrous metals recycling.This paper firstly introduce the general situation of the on-ferrous metals recycling industry in domestic and foreign,and then analysis the relationship of the main participates and the benefit for using the revert.Thirdly,this paper analysis the patents relating to the processing and utilization of revert during 2004 to 2014 and the main revert processing technology.Finally,it is pointed that the rare non-ferrous metals recycling in domestic still has a great gap compared with the international counterparts,so it is needed to strengthen the overall coordination ability,revert processing and utilization capacity,industry standards,qualifications management and etc.
