Abstract

In the production of manganese ferroalloys from ore, about 50% of the manganese in the ore is lost. The manganese lost with the enrichment-slag tailings may be returned to the production of manganese ferroalloys by dithionate method of enrichment of the slurries. A technology is developed for the production of high-carbon ferromanganese from concentrate obtained by the chemical enrichment of tailings slurries. Low-phosphorus Mn slag is used in the production of ferrosilicomanganese and refined manganese ferroalloys. A method is described for alloying hot metal with manganese from slag during the production of lowand medium-carbon ferromanganese. Processes are developed for the production of medium-carbon ferromanganese by mixing ore–limestone melt with high-carbon ferromanganese and removing the phosphorus from Mn-bearing melts by bubbling with CO. The degree of phosphorus removal (70–90%) depends on the bubbling time. By means of improved production of manganese ferroalloys and extraction of manganese from slag and slurries, the manganese extraction may be significantly increased.
