So, I want to update myself on this highly important matter.
What is the prospect of recycling in relation to traditional rare earth extraction?Which are the most critical REEs to find a recycling solution for? Where are the greatest potentials (products, stocks etc.) and which are the toughest remaining barriers? Where in the world is progress being made? What technologies are tested and by whom? When is it likely that these can be launched at a larger scale and what are the critical factors to speed up such a development?
Everything that sheds up-to-date light on this matter would be highly appreciated!
Dear Mr Wallsten,
Greetings,
In order to find answers to your main question and other matters you have exposed in regards of REE, I suggest you to refer to The Library of the European Parliament document Rare Earth Elements and Recycling Possibilities. There, you will be briefly introduced to important aspects of REE recycling. Although it is not an actual document (2013) it contains a general appreciation of REE and its recycling. You will also find on the references few other documents you may have to read if a proper conception of REE situation is to be constructed.
In addition, you can find in this portal a document called Recycling of rare earths: a critical review by Binnemans et al. For a more detailed and technical perspective, you may like to review the UNEP report on Metal Recycling; Opportunities, Limits and Infrastructure.
If you are concerned with REE recycling percentages, another UNEP document called Metal Recycling Rates should be explore to know the situation on this respect.
Finally, the Öko Institute (2011) Study on Rare Earth Elements and Their Recycling covers a great variety of issues directly related to your quieries.
Hoping these references are helpfull, I wish you a great trip through this remarkable topic.
