Abstract

The regeneration of Nd-Fe-B sludge is of great practical significance for achieving the sustainable development and recycling of rare earth elements. In this study, the in-situ regeneration of sludge was realized at a lower temperature of 850 °C via the mechanochemical approach based on ball-milling and Ca-reduction diffusion. Single-phase nanocrystalline magnetic powders with high coercivity were prepared by regulating the experimental parameters and rare earth elements. The grain size of Nd-Fe-B powder obtained by 5 wt% TbHx addition was 68.1 nm, with a high coercivity of 18.38 kOe. After purification and dehydrogenation, the coercivity was 6.68 kOe, and the coercivity mechanism was controlled by reverse magnetic domain nucleation. The low temperature in this study significantly reduced the energy consumption for the calcium reduction regeneration of sludge. It facilitated the preparation of nanocrystalline Nd-Fe-B powders with high coercivity, offering a new idea for recycling Nd-Fe-B sludge.
