Abstract:
Recently, recycling of severely contaminated Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets sludge had drawn considerable attention due to the concern of environmental burden and high cost of traditional wet process recycling. In the present study, we describe a new technology that utilizes distillation, reduction-diffusion (RD), and nanoparticle-doping techniques to prepare recycled Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets from Nd-Fe-B sludge in an efficient and environmentally friendly way. The sludge was purged first to remove both organic impurities and nonmagnetic impurities. The purged products were then treated with calcium-assisted RD reaction to obtain Nd2Fe14B single-crystalline powders. After doping with NdHx or DyHx nanoparticles, the powders were fabricated into recycled Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets by the conventional sintering method. The recycled magnets bear comparable magnetic properties to the original magnets. With 10% doping of NdHx the energy product of the original magnets is recovered by 88%; with 15% doping of DyHx, the coercivity of the recycled magnets increases by 34% compared to the original magnets. Furthermore, comparison between the conventional recycling method and our new technology demonstrates that our new technology is an economical and environmentally friendly strategy for sintered Nd-Fe-B sludge recycling.
