• This Review provides an overview of valuable metals, the supply of which has been classified as critical for Europe. Starting with a description of the current state of the art, novel approaches for their recovery from primary resources are presented as well as recycling processes. The focus lies on developments since 2005. Chemistry strategies which are used in metal recovery are summarized on the basis of the individual types of deposit and mineral. In addition, the economic importance as well as utilization of the metals is outlined. Valuable metals—you can't do without them: The limits on the export of rare earth metals have highlighted the dependence of society on raw materials. This Review provides a survey of the situation in regard to raw materials, economic significance, as well as production and recycling processes for technically relevant valuable metals, and presents novel developments of the last decade.
