Design and optimization of processes for recovering rare earth elements from end‐of‐life permanent magnets

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) from end‐of‐life (EOL) products represents a strategic opportunity to strengthen the domestic supply chain for rare earth elements. This work presents a superstructure‐based optimization framework for finding the most economical processing pathway for different EOL rare earth permanent magnets (REPMs ...
