Utilisation of manganese sludge in production of manganese alloys

澳大利亚拥有世界上最好的锰矿储量之一，并有潜力增加锰合金的产量。这很大程度上取决于澳大利亚锰业的竞争力。在贝尔湾的烟道坝中沉积在铁合金炉中形成的锰泥成本高昂，占用宝贵的土地，并引起环境问题。将锰泥回收到铁合金电炉中，将使塔斯马尼亚电冶公司的运营更加高效、可持续，并将刺激澳大利亚锰业的进一步发展。

Australia possesses one of the world's best deposits of manganese ore, and has the potential to increase production of manganese alloys. This depends strongly on the competitiveness of Australian manganese industry. Deposition of manganese sludge, which is formed in ferroalloy furnaces, in fume dams in Bell Bay is costly, occupies valuable land, and causes an environmental concern. Utilisation of manganese sludge back into ferroalloy furnace will make operation of Tasmanian Electro Metallurgical Company more efficient, sustainable and will stimulate further development of manganese industry in Australia.
