From NdFeB magnets towards the rare-earth oxides: a recycling process consuming only oxalic acid
TL;DR: In this article, the rare earth elements were selectively dissolved from a crushed and roasted NdFeB magnet with a minimum amount of acid, further purified with solvent extraction and precipitated as pure oxalate salts.
High pressure, high temperature electrochemical synthesis of metal–organic frameworks: films of MIL-100 (Fe) and HKUST-1 in different morphologies
Nicolò Campagnol,Tom Van Assche,Tom Boudewijns,Joeri Denayer,Koen Binnemans,Dirk De Vos,Jan Fransaer +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new high temperature electrodeposition setup, MIL-100(Fe) is synthesized and deposited electrochemically for the first time. But unlike other methods commonly used to produce this MOF, the reported synthesis allows formation of layers, and it takes place under milder conditions.

Perspectives for the recovery of rare earths from end-of-life fluorescent lamps
Koen Binnemans,Peter Tom Jones +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the advantages and disadvantages of the three main options for the recycling of rare-earth elements from end-of-life fluorescent lamps are discussed: (1) direct re-use of the lamp phosphor mixture; (2) separation of lamp phosphors into the different phosphor components; (3) recovery of the rare earth content.

Adsorption performance of functionalized chitosan–silica hybrid materials toward rare earths
TL;DR: Chitosan-silica hybrid adsorbents were prepared and functionalized with EDTA and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA).
Rare Earths and the Balance Problem
Koen Binnemans,Peter Tom Jones +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, different solutions are proposed to solve the balance problem: diversification of rare earth resources, recycling and urban/landfill mining, substitution, reduced use and new high volume applications.
