1. Method for recovering magnetic grains from an object A, the object A comprising said magnetic grains and an intergranular phase between the magnetic grains, wherein the object A is a sintered magnet, said method comprising at least the following steps:
Contacting the object A with a dense fluid Fd of molar mass greater than 2 g mol−1 under conditions of temperature T1 and pressure P1 that are intended to transform the intergranular phase and to release the magnetic grains, (302), wherein the temperature and pressure conditions are less than the temperatures inducing the melting of the object A or any of the magnetic grains to be released, in order to perform a transformation of the intergranular phase,
Modifying the temperature up to a T2 temperature value and/or the pressure up to a P2 pressure value to stop the transformation of the intergranular phase, (303),
Retrieving the magnetic grains separated from the intergranular phase, said magnetic grains retaining their magnetic properties sufficient to be used for the production of new magnetic materials (304).
