Influence of Dysprosium Compounds on the Extraction Behavior of Dy from Nd-Dy-Fe-B Magnet Using Liquid Magnesium

During the liquid metal extraction reaction between a Nd-Dy-Fe-B magnet and liquid Mg, Nd rapidly diffuses out of the magnet, whereas Dy is not extracted due to the reaction with the matrix and the formation of Dy<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>17</sub> phase. In addition, theDy<sub>...

description During the liquid metal extraction reaction between a Nd-Dy-Fe-B magnet and liquid Mg, Nd rapidly diffuses out of the magnet, whereas Dy is not extracted due to the reaction with the matrix and the formation of Dy<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>17</sub> phase. In addition, theDy<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> phase exists at the grain boundaries. Until now, only the effect of the Dy<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> phase on the extraction of Dy has been reported. In this study, the effect of the Dy<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>17</sub> phase on the extraction of Dy from the Nd-Dy-Fe-B magnet was investigated in liquid Mg. The formation of the Dy<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>17</sub> phase during the reaction between Mg and matrix (RE<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>14</sub>B) was first examined using a thermodynamical approach and confirmed by microstructural analysis. It was observed that Dy extraction was dominated by Dy<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>17</sub> phase decomposition from 3 h to 24 h, followed by Dy<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> phase dominant reaction with Mg. Comparing the activities of the Dy<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>17</sub> phase and the Dy<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> phase, the reaction of Dy<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>17</sub> is dominant, as compared to the Dy<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> phase. Finally, at 48 h, the high Dy extraction percentage of 93% was achieved. As a result, in was concluded that the Dy<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>17</sub> phase acts as an obstacle in the extraction of Dy. In the future, if research to control the Dy<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>17</sub> phase proceeds, it will be of great importance to advance the recycling of Dy.
