Abstract | Rare earth elements (e.g., neodymium, dysprosium and praseodymium) have contributed to the miniaturization, energy efficiency, durability, and high speed of many technology gadgets. Due to their electric conductivity, magnetic, luminescence and optical properties, rare earth elements (REE) are crucial and potentially irreplaceable in current and future technologies, especially for the world’s transition towards low-carbon economies. The recovery of REE from secondary sources, such as waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE or e-waste), is gaining more attention as these elements are at high supply risk, and the environmental impacts of mining primary sources are of increasing concern. |
