摘要

碳中和战略正在重塑全球资源流动和循环利用的格局。作为地质矿产的最终汇,增殖的人为矿物(也称为二次资源)在资源供应富集方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。铌是一种缺乏对其可持续性充分关注的关键金属。铌循环利用的基本原则是尽可能在制造过程中回收和保持材料。在此,我们估算了含铌应用在报废时的损耗,强调了最大限度减少此类处置的必要性。此外,我们还阐明了整个工业生命周期中废料和合金数量的提取过程。根据大多数铌应用产生的废料预测,如果不进行回收利用,到 2090 年可能会损失约 168 千吨。相反,如果铌的回收利用率达到 90%,预计损失将减少到约 16 千吨。我们深入探讨了铌循环经济的意义,并探讨了需要进一步研究的各个方面,以实现从线性实践到循环实践的无缝过渡。

Anthropogenic mineral generation and its potential resource supply: The case of niobium

The strategy of carbon neutrality is reshaping the global landscape of resource flow and recycling. As the final sink of geological minerals, the proliferated anthropogenic minerals, also called secondary resources, play an increasingly important role in resource supply enrichment. Niobium is a critical metal that lacks full concern for its sustainability. The fundamental principle of niobium circularity is to recycle and maintain the material as close to the manufacturing process as possible. Here we estimate the niobium-containing applications lost at their end-of-life, underscoring the imperative to minimize such disposal. Additionally, we elucidate the extraction processes for scrap and alloy quantities throughout the industry’s lifecycle. Drawing from anticipated waste generated by the majority of niobium applications, a forecast indicates a potential loss of approximately 168 kt by 2090 in the absence of recycling. Contrastingly, with a recycling efficiency of 90% for niobium, the projected loss diminishes to approximately 16 kt. We delve into the significance of niobium’s circular economy and explore various aspects that demand further investigation for a seamless transition from linear to circular practices.
