NdFeB magnets play a critical role in the fight against climate change as they are used in clean technologies such as wind turbines generators and motors in electric vehicles. As we transition to an electrically driven society then the demand for these materials will increase almost exponentially. The supply of these materials is geographically concentrated in certain parts of the globe and these materials have been identified as being of greatest supply risk compared to all other energy related materials by the EU. The aim of SCREAM is to provide a UK based supply of these materials by recycling magnets from end of life scrap (EoL). HyProMag, Mkango Rare Earths UK, GKN Hybrid Power, European Metal Recycling (EMR), Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Bowers and Wilkins and the University of Birmingham (UoB) will work together in the SCREAM project to secure critical permanent magnets for the UK. The SCREAM consortium will demonstrate two innovative paths to introduce scrap material back into the rare earth supply chain. The first is to scale up a process developed at the University of Birmingham, "Hydrogen Processing of Magnetic Scrap" from automotive, robotic, separator, loudspeaker scrap streams. The second is to produce a mixed rare earth carbonate for the rare earth supply chain. HyProMag will scale this process to develop magnets that are different grades for a range of applications. Bowers and Wilkins, GKN and JLR will assess the suitability of the magnets for a range of products, and calculate the environmental footprint for production of these materials. The output of the project will be motors, loudspeakers and holding magnet applications containing recycled magnets.

钕铁硼磁体在应对气候变化方面发挥着关键作用，因为它们被用于风力涡轮机发电机和电动汽车电机等清洁技术。随着我们向电力驱动的社会过渡，对这些材料的需求将几乎呈指数级增长。这些材料的供应在地理上集中在全球的某些地区，与所有其他能源相关材料相比，这些材料已被欧盟确定为供应风险最大的材料。SCREAM的目的是通过回收报废磁铁（EoL），为英国提供这些材料的供应。HyProMag、Mkango Rare Earths UK、GKN Hybrid Power、欧洲金属回收（EMR）、捷豹路虎（JLR）、鲍尔斯和威尔金斯以及伯明翰大学（UoB）将在SCREAM项目中合作，为英国确保关键的永磁体。SCREAM财团将展示将废料重新引入稀土供应链的两种创新途径。首先是扩大伯明翰大学开发的一项工艺的规模，即从汽车、机器人、分离器、扬声器废料流中提取的“磁性废料的氢处理”。二是为稀土供应链生产混合稀土碳酸盐。HyProMag将扩大这一过程，以开发不同等级的磁铁，适用于各种应用。鲍尔斯和威尔金斯、吉凯恩和捷豹路虎将评估磁铁对一系列产品的适用性，并计算生产这些材料的环境足迹。该项目的输出将是电机，扬声器和持有磁铁应用包含回收磁铁。
