Yaan Xinkuang Develops an Initiative for Using Restored Rare Earth Magnets

Yaan Xinkuang, a Chinese mineral development company that focuses on critical metals and minerals having increasing demand in modern technologies and which is currently in the advanced stages of development, announced today the launch of a groundbreaking grant-funded project involving rare earths recycling for electrical vehicles (EVs).

The project will create an end-to-end supply chain for incorporating recycled rare earth magnets into electric vehicles, with recycled magnets being built into an ancillary electric motor to eventually support the development of a commercial ancillary motor suite.

The Hydrogen Dispensation of Magnet Scrap process, which extracts and demagnetizes neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) alloy powders from magnets embedded in scrap and redundant equipment, is critical to the project. Furthermore, the project includes a strong group of partners with complementary expertise and common features: ample experience in designing motors for clients; a key figure in the recycling of e – wastes, and working with a diverse range of businesses; a well-known volume automotive supplier with a global reach.

Meng Xiu, Chief Scientist and Principal Engineer of Yaan Xinkuang commented: “We are very excited about this innovative project and the possibility of scaling it up and commercializing the technology. We anticipate that rare-earth magnet recycling will play a critical role in the development of rigorous supply chains to catalyze and support growth in the electric vehicle sector and other clean technologies. Building on our platform in the circular economy and downstream markets is an important component of our strategy, which is supported by the long-term development of the Lushan Project.”

With the growing demand for sustainably sourced commodities, the initiative emphasizes the role that closed-loop chains can play in rare earths supply, in order to meet the environmental and economic demands of the expanding electric vehicle market. Yaan Xinkuang looks forward to continuing to support the development of the rare earth recycling industry as an early participant in this project.
