From smart phones to batteries to your computer hard drive, you have the opportunity to use at least one device in your daily life, using the rare earth element.Neodymium magnets
Rare metal, it can be in the iPhone and wind turbines, often in search of a variety of technology companies will in new equipment, and the frequent use of makes recycling business and industry expert evaluation method to come to the rescue of these materials to reduce electronic waste, according to the survey of the rare earth news. An improved recycling method that can also help reduce the risk of soaring demand, which will cost the price of such materials.
In Belgium,Rare earth magnets Cohen Binnemans is a project that looks recovery leader containing Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet and samarium. Binnemans tells the world that less than one percent of the rare earth elements are being recycled. He believes that twenty percent of the global demand for rare earth can be recovered to meet.
"The cycle is only a partial solution to the problem of supply risk; it can't replace basic mining, although it can be added," Binnemans told the world of chemistry." Through the combination of mining and recycling, the western world may become largely independent of China in the future."
In order to recycle the use of permanent magnets, Binnemans and his team used liquid extraction methods.
"This process involves from other elements of the NdFeB and SmCo magnet, rare earth metal extraction liquid," Binnemans told world of chemistry. " These other elements - including iron, cobalt, manganese, copper and zinc - have been extracted into the ionic liquid phase, while rare earth metals remain in the aqueous phase.
As China is the world's rare earth supply of about ninety-five percent of the starting point, some consumers began to reduce dependence on foreign energy, which also helped to reduce the cost of. Rare earth survey news pointed out that several successful car manufacturers have announced that they will reuse or reduce the use of rare earth in the automotive manufacturing industry.
