  Method and apparatus for manufacturing medium or low carbon ferromanganese - Patent 5462579
Where the flow rate of the mixed gas injected into the molten high carbon ferromanganese is increased in response to a lowering in decarburization efficiency during the refining or to a lowering in carbon concentration of the molten ferromanganese, the decarburization proceeds in high efficiency at a reduced flow rate of the gas.
The combustion gas generated on decarburization and refining of the molten high carbon ferromanganese by blowing oxygen gas on the surface of the molten high carbon ferromanganese in the converter consists of a mixed gas comprised of a major proportion of CO gas along with N.sub.2 gas and CO.sub.2 gas.
In this manufacturing method wherein molten high carbon ferromanganese is decarburized and refined, the final carbon concentration is presumed in terms of the blown oxygen amount (cumulative amount) and the decarburization efficiency, and the flow rate of the bottom-blown gas is changed.

Ferromanganese crusts are hydrogenous colloidal precipitates, which are known to record oceanographic conditions contemporaneous to their growth period.
This is the reason why the seamount ferromanganese crusts formed closer to OMZ tend to enrich cobalt over other transition metals.
After the first-time recovery of cobalt enriched ferromanganese crusts from the ANS, we proposed a project to DOD for funding, which received funding for X 5-Year Plan period.

 Recycling Today Magazine :: News :: PA Businessman Sees Value in Slag Heaps
New technology developed in the last decade makes it possible to extract from slag a valuable substance known as ferromanganese, which is used to harden steel.
Slag, a stone-like material left over from steelmaking, is typically a mix of limestone and minute traces of ferromanganese, which is extracted by putting the slag in the jig's hopper and pumping in water and air to separate the components.
Only about three percent of the slag is useful ferromanganese, but with an estimated 11 million tons of slag at Rider's Dump, there is enough to sustain an extraction operation for a dozen or more years, Kordell said.

 Murtha Joins in Grand Opening of Rollock Division
We are taking ferromanganese slag left over by blast furnaces that began operations in Johnstown over 100 years ago, cleaning the metals out of the slag and leaving a nice, clean limestone.
“Ferromanganese is used to strengthen steel and we are going to use it to strengthen the Johnstown economy,” Kordell added.
Johnstown has several million tons of ferromanganese slag at different locations and, as Rollock negotiates agreements with the owners, the company expects its operations to continue for decades, Murtha said, noting that the new division will create about 25 jobs initially with the potential for a lot more.

 Silica fume - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Silica fume, also known as microsilica, is a byproduct of the reduction of high-purity quartz with coke in electric arc furnaces in the production of silicon and ferrosilicon alloys.
Silica Fume is also collected as a byproduct in the production of other silicon alloys such as ferrochromium, ferromanganese, ferromagnesium, and calcium silicon (ACI Comm.
Before the mid-1970s, nearly all silica fume was discharged into the atmosphere.

 EPA: Federal Register: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Ferroalloys Production: ...
When producing ferromanganese, furnace #12 operates at a power input of 20 to 22 MW, while furnace #1 is expected to operate at 25 MW.
Although furnace #1 is permitted for ferromanganese production by the State of Ohio, ferromanganese has not been produced in the furnace since 1993, which predates any requirements by the State of Ohio for performance testing.
In formulating appropriate limits for furnace #1 when producing ferromanganese and furnace #12 when producing silicomanganese, we included the two considerations advanced by the petitioner: that emissions are directly proportional to power input and that emissions differ by 10 percent due to furnace depth.

The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for each region, is based on a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year.
Of the 150 countries considered, if a country is not reported here it is therefore estimated to have only a negligible level of trade in ferromanganese with over 2% carbon by weight (i.e.
In such cases, the difference between the numbers given in this report and the numbers actually observed might be interpreted as the "net loss" or "net gain" due to these exogenous events affecting regular trade flows that would have occurred had these events not have taken place.

 SFPO: US sales stable; French ferromanganese producer also foresees no big price hikes soon - Societe du Ferromanganese ...
Societe du Ferromanganese de Paris-Outreau (SFPO) continues to be profitable despite depressed market prices, thanks to a very lean organization and to careful investments in high technology to keep it competitive with either the more diversified or lower-cost ferroalloy producers around the world.
Looking at the immediate U.S. market prospects for high-carbon ferromanganese, and noticing a trend toward "balanced prices" on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, Homo predicted "no spectacular increase" in prices from their recent level of $350 to $360 a long ton, which is way down from the record 1981 level of $500 a ton.
Predicting that consumption of ferromanganese "won't increase much" in 1985 on either side of the Atlantic, despite the recovery of the capital goods sector, Homo pointed out that ferromanganese production also declined last year, causing a rundown of the "horribly" high inventories that depressed the market in 1983.

Seafloor polymetallic sulphide deposits had recently attracted the interest of the international mining industry due to the high concentration of base and precious metals, he observed.  Polymetallic massive sulphide deposits in amounts up to 100 million tonnes existed on the seafloor in a variety of tectonic settings, including mid-ocean ridges, back-arc rifts and seamounts.
Turning to cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts, he explained that they were formed on the seafloor on the flanks and summits of seamounts, ridges, plateaus and abyssal hills where rocks had been swept clean of sediments, intermittently, over millions of years.
Occurring at water depths of up to 3,000 metres, crusts were important as potential sources of cobalt, but also of titanium, cerium, nickel, platinum, manganese and other minerals.

Abstract: This study examines the rare-earth elements (REEs) found in ferromanganese coatings covering both sandy alluvium and submerged boulders in an underground stream from Vantului Cave, Romania.
The fl ferromanganese sediments are mainly composed of birnessite and other poorly-crystallized manganese oxide and hydroxides (pyrolusite, romanechite, todorokite, rhodochrosite) as well as goethite and kaolinite.
Scanning electron microscope and EDX analyses performed on the fl ferromanganese sediments show the material to have concentrated considerable amounts of REEs (La, Ce, Sm, Nd) in iron-rich spheres that build up botryoidal-like aggregates.

 Geologists decipher clues to Earth's ancient climate in crusts on ocean floor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
According to John N. Christensen, assistant research scientist in geological sciences, these deposits-called ferromanganese crusts-constitute an important new data source for geochemists who currently rely on ice cores and shells of microscopic ocean animals, among other sources, for data on Earth's paleoclimate.
The crusts form when dissolved elements such as iron, manganese and lead precipitate out of seawater to form solids in oxide layers, which build up over time growing at a rate of a few millimeters every million years.
Crusts analyzed in the U-M study were from samples collected by the U.S. Geological Survey that were organized and catalogued by James R. Hein.
