Description
This dataset is a market dataset, representing the consumption market of the region; the dataset includes the transport of the product from the gate to the consumer end, and the transport service is calculated according to the transport situation of this product in this region. This dataset represents the production of 1 t of electrolytic manganese. It assesses the resource consumption and environmental load of manganese ore mining, manganese concentrate production, manganese oxide production and electrolytic manganese metal production processes.
Activity Description
The entire production process includes manganese ore mining, manganese concentrate production, manganese oxide production, and electrolytic manganese metal production.
Process Description
Metal manganese is a silver-gray hard and brittle metal with active chemical properties but strong corrosion resistance. It has good alloying ability and deoxidation and desulfurization effects. Manganese is widely used in various industrial fields such as metallurgy, chemical industry, food, and aerospace. Most of the manganese metal is consumed directly or indirectly in steel production, while some manganese metal is used in batteries, electronics, special chemicals and other industries.

Technology comment
The production stage of electrolytic manganese metal includes a series of production processes, which can be roughly divided into three steps, namely, leaching of manganese ore (i.e., raw material processing and leaching), removal of impurities (i.e., neutralization to remove iron, press filtration, sulfidation to remove heavy metals, adsorption and standing of the solution after sulfidation), and electrolysis (i.e., electrolysis process and electrolytic manganese post-treatment process).
