A new rare-earth magnet recycling process developed by researchers at the Critical Materials Institute(CMI)dissolves magnets in an acid-free solution and recovers high purity rare earth elements.For shredded magnet-containing electronic wastes,the process does not require pre-processing such as pre-sorting or demagnetization of the electronic waste.Rare earths are vital to many technologies and are critical ingredients in the world’s strongest magnets,but A new rare-earth magnet recycling process developed by researchers at the Critical Materials Institute (CMI) dissolves magnets in an acid-free solution and recovers high purity rare earth elements.
