REE4EU: integrated high temperature electrolysis (HTE) and Ion Liquid Extraction (ILE) for a strong and independent European Rare Earth Elements Supply Chain (REE4EU)

Start date: Oct 1, 2015, End date: Sep 30, 2019,

The REE4EU project will develop, validate and demonstrate in 2 industrially relevant Pilots an innovative Rare Earth Alloys (REA) production route from Permanent Magnets (PM) and Secondary Batteries (SB) waste. Currently only 1% of RE waste is being recovered as no adequate process is available, so proof-of-concept in REE4EU will open-up a fully new route bringing recovery of 90% of in-process was ...

NOVel, critical materials free, high Anisotropy phases for permanent MAGnets, by design. (NOVAMAG)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,

The demand for lower dependency on critical raw materials (CRM) such as rare earths (RE) is not only a European but a global problem that demands immediate action. The purpose of this project is to exploit advanced theoretical and computation methods together with state-of-the-art materials preparation and characterization techniques, to develop the next generation RE-free/lean permanent magnets ( ...

Drastically reduced use of rare earths in applications of magnetocalorics (DRREAM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"We will examine the life cycle of rare earth metals used in magnetic phase change technologies. Our primary focus is on room temperature magnetic cooling, a near-market solid state alternative to gas compression in which a phase change “magnetocaloric” material is magnetised by a permanent magnet. We will address the fabrication, manufacture and use of the magnetocaloric material, aiming: (1) ...

Replacement and Original Magnet Engineering Options (ROMEO)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Permanent magnets are vital components in an enormous number of domestic and industrial devices, and they are particularly crucial within the rapidly-developing renewable energy sector, where the motors for electric vehicles and the generators in wind turbines require strong magnets with the ability to operate at temperatures well over 100°C. Currently, these magnets are based on the rare earth el ...

Solid State Energy Efficient Cooling (SSEEC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

We propose to develop a high efficiency heat pump and an air conditioner based on a magnetic refrigeration cycle. Both devices will operate at room temperature. The core materials research will centre around the identification, synthesis, modeling and production of low cost, environmentally friendly magnetic refrigerant materials that operate in low magnetic fields and the synthesis and production ...
