title = "Fundamental investigation of reduction and dissolution behavior of manganese ore at high temperature",
abstract = "The high temperature reduction behavior of manganese ore was investigated with the aim of utilizing ore as a more economical manganese source in the steelmaking process. The melting temperature and phase change behaviors of raw and sintered manganese ores were measured by high temperature X-ray diffraction and DTA in the temperature range from 303K to 1773K under atmospheric and vacuum conditions. The melting temperatures of the raw and sintered manganese ores were 1688K and 1732K, respectively. The main manganese compounds in the raw and sintered manganese ores were CaMn6SiO12 and MnO, Mn3O4 respectively. Under a vacuum (0.13kPa), both the raw and sintered manganese ores were reduced to MnO above 1473K, whereas under the atmospheric condition (101.3kPa), the manganese ores were reduced to Mn3O4 rather than MnO. The obtained results were discussed from a thermodynamic viewpoint.",
