Characterization of Egyptian Manganese Ores for Production
Manganese ore reduction occurs in two stages in the . first stage (prereduction), gaseous reduction of iron and manganese oxides to FeO and MnO by CO in the solid state. In the second stage, direct reduction of MnO, FeO and SiO. 2 occurs by carbon producing work has been carried out a metallic Mn, Fe and Si. The completeness of the gaseous reduction, therefore, affects directly the economics
