1. Introduction. Manganese is an indispensable basic material extensively used in non-ferrous metal smelting, chemical industry, medicine, food analysis, scientific research, and other aspects of the national economy (Shichao et al., 2021, Chen et al., 2020a).In China, manganese metal is primarily produced by electrolysis (Chen et al., 2020b).At present, China …
Excavation of a SiMn furnace has shown that only modest pre-reduction of Mn-ore with CO gas seems to be obtained. Nearly all reduction of MnO was finished at the top of the cokebed. Dissolution and reduction of quartz obviously takes place in the cokebed zone after the main reduction of manganese oxide is finished.
the solid-state reduction of manganese ore at relatively low temperatures. Higher manganese oxides (MnOx, x >1) in the ore will reduce to MnO by CO(g) present in the furnace gas when exposed to elevated temperatures. The reduction's influence on the efficiency is two-fold. Firstly, the reduction reactions are exothermic, thus
In many integrated steel plants, conventional BF-BOF furnaces use iron ore to produce steel, but more and more plants, particularly greenfield factories, are looking to make the direct reduced iron (DRI) and/or hot briquetted iron (HBI) by hydrogen reduction process and then melting them in the EAF.
