Reduction Smelting of Iron-Manganese-Ree Ores of the Tomtor Deposit
Keyword(s):
The chemical and phase composition of iron-manganese rare-earth ores of the Tomtor deposit were investigated. It is shown that the ores contain a large amount of iron, manganese and rare earth metals. The thermodynamic calculation of reduction smelting was carried out. The reduction smelting of the ores at 1650 °C was investigated. The phase and chemical composition of the obtained slag and the alloy were studied. It is showed that obtained alloy is ferromanganese with a high content of carbon and phosphorus, and obtained slag has high content of REM.
