Abstract:
Since the magnetic properties of waste bonded Nd-Fe-B magnets are diluted by polymer binders, the binders need to be separated to obtain pure Nd-Fe-B magnetic powders. In this work, we used alkaline alcohol solution to recycle waste bonded Nd-Fe-B magnets. The relationship between the decomposition effect of the binder, the magnetic properties of the recycled Nd-Fe-B powder and the treatment conditions was studied. The results showed that the increase of reaction temperature and alkali concentration was conducive to the thorough removal of the epoxy resin binder, so as to improve the magnetization. In ethylene glycol solution with 3 mol/L NaOH at 90 degrees C for 8 h, the saturation magnetization of the recycled Nd-Fe-B powder reached 99.22 % of the original Nd-Fe-B powder. However, coercivity decreased 78.14 % at 180 degrees C compared to waste powder. To study the reason of coercivity deterioration of recycled Nd-Fe-B powder, the structure changes of recycled Nd-Fe-B powders were studied. Under alkaline condition, passivation layer was formed on the surface of Nd-Fe-B powder. When the temperature rose, pitting corrosion occurred on the passivation layer, and the solution diffused into the Nd-Fe-B powder, resulting in the decomposition of Nd2Fe14B phase and the accumulation of alpha-Fe. The weakening of exchange coupling between soft and hard phases led to the decrease of coercivity. Therefore, there was a mutually restricted relationship between the removal effect of binder and the magnetic properties of NdFe-B powder. By controlling suitable recovery conditions, high performance recycled Nd-Fe-B nanocrystalline powder can be obtained.
