Manganese

Manganese ore is vital for steel and iron alloy production, enhancing strength, toughness, and durability. Its role as a deoxidizer makes it crucial for construction, automotive, and heavy machinery industries worldwide.

Steel Production: The primary use of manganese, it acts as a deoxidizer and strengthens steel, improving its toughness and wear resistance.

 

Batteries: Used in the production of batteries, especially in lithium-ion and alkaline batteries, for energy storage and electric vehicles.

 

Alloy Production: Manganese is used to create alloys like ferro-manganese and silico-manganese, essential for enhancing metal durability and corrosion resistance.

 

Chemical Industry: Used in fertilizers, animal feed, and as a catalyst in chemical reactions.

 

Glass Manufacturing: Manganese is used as a colorant and to remove impurities, creating clearer and higher-quality glass.

High-Grade Manganese Ore: Contains over 44% manganese, primarily used in steel production due to its high purity and effectiveness in improving steel properties.

 

Medium-Grade Manganese Ore: Contains between 30%-44% manganese, used in various metallurgical and chemical processes.

 

Low-Grade Manganese Ore: Contains less than 30% manganese and often requires beneficiation to improve purity for industrial use.

 

Battery Grade Manganese: Highly purified manganese used in the production of batteries, especially for electric vehicles and energy storage systems.

 

Ferro-Manganese: An alloy containing a specific amount of manganese (typically 70%-80%) mixed with iron, used as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in steelmaking.
