Results of laboratory experiments on processing of ferromanganese ores of fields Kamys and Tour by low-temperature roasting with the subsequent magnetic separation are given in work. Indicators of time of roasting and magnetic separation at thermo-manginom enrichment are defined.
The article presents the results of laboratory trials for the smelting of high-carbon ferromanganese on highly-basic slags. Laboratory trials have confirmed that an increase in the basicity of ferromanganese production slags has a positive effect on the reduction of manganese to the metal and a decrease in the concentration of silicon in it. However, the high basicity makes the slag high-melting and tough, leading to large losses of manganese with the slag. The use of on borate fluxes solves this problem by affecting the physical and chemical properties of the final slags, which allows the process to be carried out at high basicities with the achievement of optimal technological indicators. The obtained positive results of laboratory experiments served as the basis for approbation the developed technology on a semi-industrial scale with the smelting of high-carbon ferromanganese by the flux method from the manganese ore of the «Bogach» Deposit. As a result of studying the smelting of carbonaceous ferromanganese in large-scale laboratory conditions, the possibility of converting manganese ores on highly-basic slags with appropriate regulation of the transport properties of slag to a standard metal with high technical and economic indicators was established. The best results are achieved when the CaO/SiO2 ratio in the slag is 1.8 and the boron oxide content in the slag is 0.8%. It is established that under these conditions, the obtained boron-containing highly-basic slags of carbonaceous ferromanganese are not subject to slaking.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
