Life cycle inventory data for magnets from three rare earth deposits

Inventory of inputs and outputs associated with the production of primary Nd-Fe-B magnets from three types of deposits: Bastnaesite-monazite deposit in Bayan Obo (China) Monazite deposit in Mt. Weld (Australia) Ion adsorption clay deposits (from seven Southern provinces in China) The data is provided in two files: 1) Life cycle inventory data for magnets from three rare earth deposits, with economic allocation based on prices from 2015 to 2025. 2) Life cycle inventory data for magnets from three rare earth deposits, with economic allocation based on prices from 2013 to 2022. The PDF file presents an overview of the files and their references. Background data are sourced from ecoinvent 3.10.1 (cut-off system model). The file is compatible with Brightway and the Activity Browser software.
