Closed-loop process for recovery of metals from NdFeB magnets using a trichloride ionic liquid

MAGNETIC VISCOSITY IN NdFeB MAGNETS

The relaxation of the magnetization is calculated for isotropic and anisotropic magnets. For NdFeB magnets, the dependence of Sv on texture, above room temperature, is roughly consistent with the model, while the NdDyFeB magnets show no dependence upon texture.

Process Identification Using Open-loop and Closed-loop Step Responses

This paper is concerned with process identification by curve fitting step responses. Both open-loop and closed-loop identification are studied using simulated data for typical examples as well as experimental data from a laboratory plate heat exchanger. Timedomain curve fitting utilizing efficient local optimization techniques is employed to find the parameters of the process model. Process mod...

Exchange-coupled nanoscale SmCo/NdFeB hybrid magnets

Nanoscale hybrid magnets containing SmCo5 and Nd2Fe14B hard magnetic phases have been produced via a novel ‘‘in-one-pot’’ processing route. The grain size of the processed bulk composite materials is controlled below 20 nm. The refinement of the nanoscale morphology leads to effective inter-phase exchange coupling that results in single-phase like magnetic properties. Energy product of 14 MGOe ...

Extraction and separation of neodymium and dysprosium from used NdFeB magnets: an application of ionic liquids in solvent extraction towards the recycling of magnets

A procedure for the efficient extraction and separation of rare earths and other valuable elements from used NdFeB permanent magnets is presented. In a first step, an iron free leachate is prepared from an used magnet using nitric acid. Cobalt is separated through a liquid–liquid extraction in aqueous nitrate media using as organic phase the ionic liquid trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium nitrate ...
