Course: Green deal and circular economy challenges of rare earth-based permanent magnets with technical aspects > Section: ONLINE WORKSHOP MATERIALS

The lecture will highlight the most important aspect of sustainable production of permanent magnets in EU.

Lecture content:

-          Presentation of an European producers of permanent magnets in EU

-          History of company

-          Current situation

-          Future development

Learning outcomes:

-          To illustrate key challenges and needs of European producers of permanent magnets

Dr. Milana Karajić is the Project Manager in Magneti Ljubljana d.d She lead EU and SLO co-financed R&D projects in Magneti Ljubljana d.d.which deal with recycling of magnets, substitution of critical materials in magnetic material composition and developing magnetic material grades such as: Dyscovery, LowREE motors, RECO2MAG, Maxycle, Susmagpro, CheapReMag etc..She also lead internal eco projects in the company such as directly reused of technological water in production, alternative energetic sources, directly reusing of own waste etc. She is active in ERMA (European raw material Alliance: https://erma.eu/). She also lead developing of new customers and new business opportunities of the company through different R&D projects.

The lecture will highlight the most important aspect of magnetism towards creating magnets with applicable values for motors and generators for future green energy sector

Learning outcomes

 By the completion of this lecture, students will be expected to

-          to use both SI and CGS for hysteresis characteristics;

-          to use the models of magnetization and demagnetization in various cases;

-          to calculate the contribution of magnetistatic energy, elastic energy and anisotropy in magnetic properties;

-          to solve theoretical and applied problems connected with professional activities;

-          to predict the properties of the materials on the basis of connections between composition-treatment-microstructure;

-          to choose materials for various applications, taking into account hysteresis properties, thermo- and magnetic stability, the   cost of production.

Assoc. Prof. Kristina Žužek Rožman is the leader of the Group for Magnetic materials and Electrochemistry on Department for nanostructured materials and is an Assoc. Prof. on International Postgraduate School of Jozef Stefan. Her main scientific interests include rare earth elements (REEs) permanent magnets and electrochemistry of nanostructured material. Her bibliography contains 80+ scientific papers and several patents and patent applications on permanent magnets and long track record on working with industry (Magneti Ljubljana, Kolektor Group, ABB Switzerland). She successfully supervised several PhDs and post-docs in the field of permanent magnets and electrochemistry, receiving a prize for one of the best supervisors of the year 2019. She is involved in several national (2 ongoing) and EU projects with recent MSCA ITN Marie Curie DEMETER, MSCA IF OCARINA, GYROMAGS and H2020 PASSENGER, RESSILIENCE, EIT RAW materials INSPIRES and RECO2MAG.
