The present invention disclose a method of recycling rare earth elements, rare earth alloys and/or rare earth metals from permanent magnets and/or scrap metals containing iron (Fe) and rare earth elements in a molten salt electrochemical process. The method comprises steps of : arranging an electrolysis cell comprising an anode compartment in communication with an electric lead of a liquid anode, wherein a cathode and/or a cathode product reservoir is collecting refined rare earth alloys, elements and metals in a solid or liquid state separated by a fluoride based liquid electrolyte.
