Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of waste recycling technology, specifically a method for the efficient recycling of sintered cerium-containing permanent magnet waste. Background Technology
[0002] Rare earth permanent magnet materials, especially sintered cerium-containing permanent magnets, play an indispensable role in many key areas of modern industry due to their excellent magnetic properties, such as drive motors for new energy vehicles, core components of wind power generation equipment, and micro-motors for electronic devices. With the booming development of these industries, the demand for sintered cerium-containing permanent magnets continues to rise, leading to a daily increase in the amount of waste and scrapped products generated during the production process. Failure to properly handle this waste will not only result in a significant waste of rare earth resources but also cause serious environmental problems.
[0003] Currently, methods for processing sintered cerium-containing permanent magnet waste have many drawbacks. Traditional pyrometallurgical processes require high-temperature smelting, which is not only energy-intensive but also results in low recovery rates due to the volatilization and loss of rare earth elements such as cerium during the smelting process. Furthermore, high-temperature treatment can introduce impurities, affecting the performance of recycled materials. While hydrometallurgical processes can avoid the problems caused by high temperatures to some extent, the process is complex, requires the use of large amounts of chemical reagents, and can easily cause environmental pollution. Moreover, both pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods struggle to precisely control the microstructure and magnetic properties of recycled materials, leading to unstable product quality that fails to meet the demands of the high-end market.
[0004] Furthermore, existing waste recycling methods often overlook the diversity of waste materials. Waste generated at different production stages varies greatly in surface condition, composition, and structure. For example, waste generated during sintering may have a severe oxide layer on its surface; machining waste may be contaminated with oil; and electroplating waste may have a coating. Failure to address these differences will affect the effectiveness of subsequent recycling processes.
[0005] Against the backdrop of increasingly fierce global competition for rare earth resources and ever-stricter environmental protection requirements, the development of an efficient, environmentally friendly method for recycling sintered cerium-containing permanent magnet waste, capable of precisely controlling the performance of recycled materials, is urgently needed. This will not only help alleviate the shortage of rare earth resources and reduce enterprise production costs, but also reduce environmental pollution and promote the sustainable development of related industries. This patent is based on this situation and aims to fill the gap in existing technology, providing an innovative solution for the recycling and utilization of sintered cerium-containing permanent magnet waste.

Prepare raw materials such as mixed rare earth alloys (MM), non-rare earth metals (Al, Cu), antioxidants, and self-assembling lubricants based on hyperbranched polymers.
