Overview of the invention
The invention aims to provide an alternative method for smelting manganese ore sinter.
Short description of the invention
The method for preheating and smelting manganese ore sinter is characterized by the definitions of 15 independent claim 1.

The invention is based on preheating the feed mixture containing at least manganese ore sinter and 20 reducing agent in order to eliminate the moisture from the feed mixture and to preheat the feed mixture to as high a temperature as possible without burning or loosing carbon in the reduction agent required for reduction purposes in the feed mixture.
In preheating of manganese containing, the carbon consuming reactions, especially the Boudouard reaction (C(s) + CO2(g) θ 2CO (g)), is an limiting factor. Water gas reaction occurs also, H2O + C H2 + CO. Thus the preheating temperature in the pre-treatment silo can 30 locally be maximum 600 to 700 °C, depending on the reactivity of the carbon in the reducing agent of the feed mixture. The average temperature of the hot charge to the electric furnace is typically below 600°C.
Preheating of the feed mixture saves electrical energy of the submerged electric arc furnace, improves the operation, improves production and safety of the smelting by preventing reaction between carbon and oxygen in the feed mixture and prevents thus uncontrolled
