Description
Manganese-Carbon Pellets can be used for carbon addition during steelmaking in converters, electric arc furnaces, or LF refining processes. The dataset includes major raw and auxiliary materials, energy consumption, atmospheric emissions, and waste generated during production; however, infrastructure such as production equipment and factory construction is not included within the system boundary of the dataset. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data obtained from multiple sources. The production process of manganese carbon balls includes raw material storage, batching, mixing, briquetting, screening, drying, packaging, and storage.
Activity Description
The production activities of this product include raw material warehousing, raw material proportioning, raw material mixing, pelletizing, screening, drying, and packaging and warehousing.
Process Description
Manganese-carbon spheres are primarily composed of carbon and manganese, featuring high specific surface area, good electrical conductivity, and stability. Compared to traditional carbon additives, they offer more stable carbon-enhancing efficiency and lower nitrogen and sulfur content. The carbon recovery rate can exceed 90%, and the manganese recovery rate can exceed 95%. This product is used for carbon addition during steel tapping in converters and electric arc furnaces, or during LF refining processes.
