ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>

The possible future restrictions to the supply of critical materials have been the subject of debate for several years. In response an international consortium has been brought together to develop new solutions to the European requirement for rare earth metals.<\/p>

REMANENCE is an ambitious program designed to dramatically increase the amount of rare earth materials recovered and remanufactured from existing waste streams. Financed by the Seventh Framework Programme, the project brings together European industry and academia across the supply chain to develop the innovative technologies, business models and market information required to exploit this valuable resource and reduce dependence on primary sources.<\/p>

REMANENCE brings together Europe\u2019s leading experts in; sensing, disassembly, recycling technology and materials processing in a multi-disciplinary project able to deliver significant technical advances. C-Tech Innovation Ltd will lead a consortium including; The University of Birmingham, Stena Technoworld AB, Acreo Swedish ICT AB, Leitat Technological Centre, OptiSort AB, Chalmers Industriteknik,\u00a0 Magneti Ljubljana and Kolektor Magnet Technology GMBH.<\/p>

The partners will develop new and innovative processes for the recovery and recycling of neodymium iron boron magnets (NdFeB) from a range of waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE). Advanced sensing and mechanical separation techniques will be developed in combination with innovative processes to recover the rare earth magnets in the WEEE.<\/p>

Significantly, the aim will be to recover material in a form that can easily re-enter the primary magnet manufacturing production route, so providing large energy savings and reduced production costs for European manufacturers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
