Through thermodynamic calculation and analysis of the preheating process of the manganese ore raw materials in the rotary kiln, and through phasic analysis of cold and hot ore materials with X-ray diffractionï¼Ã‚ÂŒthe results of manganese ore preheating and prereducing processes are obtained in a qualitative and pre-quantitative manner, and it also has been discovered that, in the rotary kiln, the multiple oxides of manganese could be decomposed or reduced in advance at a relatively low temperature(30ô€”¨ lower than the normal furnace atmosphere)ï¼Ã‚ÂŒwhich may result in a 39% saving of electricity in the smelting of one tone of high-carbon manganese in the submerged–arc furnace, and in a monthly increase of 17% in the production of manganese-rich slag. This is good enough to show that hot charging ore material is an ore dressing technology with obvious energysaving result
