Use advice for data set When utilizing this data set for Life Cycle Assessment of NdFeB magnets, it is advised to use the market price-based allocation method for the production of Nd and Pr as the preferred approach. However, recognize the importance of conducting a sensitivity analysis using a mass-based allocation method to estimate uncertainties related to the allocation process. The results should be contextualized within the scope of your study, especially considering geographic and technological specificities. Keep in mind that the functional unit is defined as 1 kg of NdFeB magnet.

Data set use approval

General comment The described process refers to the extraction and production of neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr) from the Bayan Obo deposit in China, which are essential components in the manufacture of high-performance neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets. These magnets are commonly used in various applications such as wind turbines, electric vehicle motors, hard disk drives, and other electronics requiring strong permanent magnets.
