SCREAM - Secure Critical Rare Earth Magnets for the UK

钕铁硼磁体在应对气候变化方面发挥着关键作用，因为它们用于清洁技术，如风力涡轮机发电机和电动汽车电机。随着我们过渡到电力驱动的社会，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地球仪的某些地区，与所有其他能源相关材料相比，这些材料已被欧盟确定为具有最大的供应风险。SCREAM的目的是通过从报废磁铁（EoL）中回收磁铁来提供这些材料的英国供应。HyProMag、Mkango Rare Earths UK、GKN Hybrid Power、European Metal Recycling（EMR）、Jaguar Land Rover（JLR）、Bowers and Wilkins和伯明翰大学（UoB）将在SCREAM项目中合作，为英国获得关键的永磁体。SCREAM联盟将展示两种创新途径，将废料重新引入稀土供应链。第一个是扩大伯明翰大学开发的一个过程，“磁性废料的氢处理”，来自汽车，机器人，分离器，扬声器废料流。二是为稀土供应链生产混合碳酸稀土。HyProMag将扩大这一过程，以开发适用于一系列应用的不同等级的磁体。Bowers & Wilkins、GKN和JLR将评估磁体对一系列产品的适用性，并计算生产这些材料的环境足迹。该项目的产出将是电机，扬声器和含有回收磁铁的磁铁应用。

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.
