Remedy

Remedy leads end-of-life magnet recycling across five coordinated workpackages — from high-gradient separation to individual oxide products.

The four magnetic elements Pr, Nd, Dy, Tb account for over 90% of the total value of extracted rare earths. The current processing from mining to magnet manufacture involves costly and environmentally challenging steps.

WP2 — REE Separation

90% REE recovery from transition metals; Remedy leads Task 2.4 benchmarking

WP5 — Full Process Design

End-to-end recycling flow design targeting ≥88% recovery and ≥99% purity

WP1 — Magnetic Fields

High-gradient field systems (≥200 T/m) designed to mirror RDY process equipment.

WP3 — Precipitation

Magnetic field-enhanced anti-solvent precipitation — ≥60% reduction in chemical usage.

Leader of

WP4 — Process Compatibility

Remedy leads from REE Concentrate onwards. Pre-separation stages (WP2/WP3) feed directly into WP4 integration assessment. Validates diverse end-of-life feedstock (<5% impurities, ≥45 material categories).
