Abstract
Among dusts which were generated in AOD process producing a medium-low carbon ferromanganese, the dust collected in bag filter contained manganese about 63% and its phase was $Mn_3$$O_4$. the maximum extraction of Mn by nitric acid is about 67% because of remaining amorphous $MnO_2$. Therefore this research investigated reducibility of the activated charcoal in Mn extraction from the dust. Addition of charcoal over 10% of pulp density made possible Mn extraction of 90% at $70^{\circ}C$, 0.5N $HNO_3$. To convert $Mn_3$$O_4$ to MnO by reducing roasting, the minimum mixture ratio of activated charcoal was 5% in $750^{\circ}C$, 1 hour. Extraction of Mn from the reduced dust was over 99% with nitric acid at $25^{\circ}C$, 6N $HNO_3$, pulp density 150 g/l§.
중저타소페로망간을 제조하는 AOD공정의 bag filter에 포집된 분진은 약 63%의 Mn을 함유하며, XRD로 분석된 결정체는 Mn$_{3}O_{4}$이지만, 질산으로 Mn을 침출하면 MnO$_{2}$가 잔류되기 때문에 67%이하의 침출율을 나타낸다. 따라서 활성탄으로 환원배소한 후에 침출하는 방법과 침출시에 활성탄을 첨가하는 방법으로 침출율을 높이고자 하였따. 70$^{\circ}C$, 0.5N HNO$_{3}$ pilp density 7 g/l 의 액에 분진된 10%이상으로 활성탄을 첨가하면 90%이상의 Mn이 침출되었고, 5%의 활성탄을 혼합하여 750$^{\circ}C$에서 배소한 분진은 상온에서 6N HNO$_{3}$에 150 g/l을 첨가하였을 때에 99%이상의 Mn이 침출되었다.
