LOGISTICS OF RECYCLING OF RARE METAL MATERIALS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PERMANENT MAGNETS OF HYBRID VEHICLES

Abstract

Large amount of materials, various types of metals and fluids are engaged within the vehicle, which must be produced from renewable raw materials, and which must be recycled. In this way, the recycling of vehicles at the end of their service life reduces the load on the environment. The paper analyses the structure of the process of recycling hybrid vehicles, with special reference to the recycling of metals that make up the permanent magnets of the rotor and other electrical equipment on the vehicle (as it is neodymium magnet, NdFeB).
