Abstract
Extraction of manganese was investigated with nitric acid from the dust which was generated in the AOD process producing a medium-low carbon ferromanganese from a high carbon ferromanganese. Content of manganese oxide in the dust was about 90%, and phase of it was confirmed as $Mn_3O_4$, The $Mn_3O_4$ particles was agglomerated as spherical shape, and had a lot of pore and crack inside. Maximum recovery of Mn from the sample in the leaching step was about 67% and residue was the amorphous $MnO_2$. The extraction of Mn increased with increasing temperature, but decreased in proportion to concentration of nitric acid. The extraction rate was in good agreement with the pore diffusion model.
고탄소페로망간을 중.저탄소페로망간으로 제조하는 AOD공정의 Bag filter에 포집된 분진은 약 90%가 $Mn_3O_4$인 망간산화물이다. 분진의 입도는 5$\mu\textrm{m}$이하이고, 입자들은 직경이 10nm정도인 미립자들의 응집체로서 구형이다. 분진에서 망간을 질산으로 침출할 때의 최대침출율은 약 67%이며,비정질의 $MnO_2$가 잔류한다. 침출속도는 온도가 증가함에 따라 빨라지고 고농도의 질산에서는 늦어졌다. 침출속도를 여러 침출모델에 적용한 결과는 pore diffusion model에 일치하였다.
