abstract = {Neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium are rare earth
elements often used in high performance magnets.
Environmental impacts during the production of a 1 kg of
neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnet from three major
deposits are quantified using life cycle assessment (LCA).
The scope of the assessment includes the largest rare earth
oxide (REO) production in Bayan Obo (China), the second
largest at a mine in Mount Weld (Australia), and a third
mine in Mountain Pass (U.S.A.) that closed production in
2015. Consecutively, impacts from metal refining and final
magnet production are added. Environmental impacts along the
magnet production life cycle are dominated by the production
of rare earth components $(50–99.9\%).$ Using REOs from
the American mine shows the best overall environmental
performance due to improved handling of chemicals. The
biggest differences from the worst Chinese pathway can be
found in freshwater and terrestrial ecotoxicity,
acidification, freshwater eutrophication, particulate
matter, and human toxicity. The smallest differences are
observed for climate change, resource depletion, and marine
eutrophication. For the first time, an LCA for the three
largest rare earth producers was performed under the same
frame of conditions and methodological assumptions. This
approach is a step toward getting a consistent picture of
environmental impacts.},
