Abstract

Production of ultrahigh-manganese steels is expected to result in significant increase in demand for low-carbon (LC) ferromanganese (FeMn) and silicomanganese (SiMn). Current manganese processing techniques are energy intensive and typically yield a high-carbon product. The present work therefore reviews available literature regarding carbothermic reduction of Mn oxides and ores, with the objective of identifying opportunities for future process development to mitigate the cost of LC FeMn and SiMn. In general, there is consensus that carbothermic reduction of Mn oxides and ores is limited by gasification of carbon. Conditions which enhance or bypass this step (e.g., by application of CH4) show higher rates of reduction at lower temperatures. This phenomenon has potential application in solid-state reduction of Mn ore. Other avenues for process development include optimization of the prereduction step in conventional FeMn production and metallothermic reduction as a secondary reduction step.
