ConferenceCritical Materials and Life Cycle Management: The Example of Rare Earths - curse or blessing?
Life Cycle Assessments get more and more in the focus in industry and also in science. iFAST presents a platform for discussing and finding solutions in these topics. In our workshop we want to focus on the Life Cycle Management using the example of Rare Earths Elements (REE), the key material in permanent magnets used in a variety of fields like accelerator, turbines, hard drives and many more. On the workshop we will discuss the following points: Life cycle management Consider entire life cycle of technical component using critical materials: construction – operation – deconstruction Mining and processing of REE a socio-ecological approach – energy savings versus destructive mining and processing Using permanent magnets Examples of the use of permanent magnets and its Pro and Con Certification for mining and processing of REE How to force more sustainable thinking in the production of REE Recycling of permanent magnets New processes for the re-use and recycling of permanent magnets Alternatives for permanent magnets with REE New magnetic materials as well as improved electromagnets Science, industry, politics and NGO in cooperation can forces to tackle the problem – we can develop solutions together.
