Özet:Main purpose of this study was to find the optimum conditions to produce a charge material for ferromanganese production or steelmaking with high content of iron and manganese carbides from Denizli-Tavas manganese ore by carbothermic reduction and investigate the effects of temperature, time, amount of active carbon addition and CaO addition on this reduction. The ore was calcined and then mixed with active carbon and CaO. Experiments were performed in a horizontal tube furnace that can be heated up to 1700 ºC with MoSi2 heating elements. After each experiment weight loss data were obtained and converted to percentage reduction. X-Ray, SEM-EDS and chemical analyses were done in order to determine whether or not carbide phases have been obtained, and calculate the composition of the product. Considering the experimental results, the optimum conditions found for reduction of Denizli-Tavas manganese ore were 1250 °C, 4 hours, 100% of stoichiometric amount of active carbon and 5% CaO addition. Under the optimum conditions 83.85% reduction of calcined ore was obtained.
