Abstract:

 

Ferromanganese is an important additive used in the  production of steel.  Turkey produces more than 25 million tons of  steel a year and the quantity produced is steadily increasing.  Ferromanganese is not produced in Turkey, therefore, the country's  entire supply is imported.  Studies related to ferromanganese  production would be benificial for future investments in  ferromanganese production facilities.  The production of high carbon  ferromanganese from a manganese ore deposit located in Erzincan was  examined in this study.  The ore was smelted using carbon as the  reducing agent.  Time, weight ratio of graphite to ore, fluorspar  addition, and charge basicity were used as the experimental variables  and the resulting alloy and slag phases were subjected to chemical  analysis.  The objective of this study was to investigate the  possibility of high carbon ferromanganese production from manganese  ore in Erzincan.
