Manganese Ore - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Merete Tangstad, in Handbook of Ferroalloys, 2013. 7.5.1 Basics of Reduction Processes. Manganese ores will always contain some iron oxides. Reduction of the iron oxides in the ore is probably almost complete when the temperature reaches 1200°C. The product will be a carbon-saturated iron alloy with an increasing content of manganese at increasing reductions in temperature.
