Item A geometallurgical comparison between lump ore and pellets of manganese ore.(2015) Faria, Geraldo Lúcio de; Tenório, Jorge Alberto Soares; Jannotti Júnior, Nelson; Araujo, Fernando Gabriel da SilvaManganese lump ores are still the main rawmaterial used in the manufacture ofmanganese ferroalloys, but the processing of the ore to the beneficiation point generates fines. So an alternative to be studied is making pellets. Thiswork compares themain geometallurgical characteristics of the lump ore fromthe AzulMine and the pellets made from fines generated during beneficiation of this lump ore on a small scale. The characteristics assessed were: the chemical composition, mineralogical constitution, hot and cold particle disintegration, thermal decomposition and solid state reduction. It can be observed that the pellets contain a greater proportion of manganese oxides than the lump ore and they are also richer inMn. In the pellets the hot and cold particle disintegration phenomena are minimal when compared with those found in lump ore. Lump ore can be efficiently reduced in the solid state, while most of the manganese minerals in the pellets have already been reduced to MnO. The conclusion is that manufacturing pellets in order to take advantage of the manganese ore fines is a path that must be studied further, since the pellets can be used as a viable source of manganese and act as agents that contribute to the increase in permeability of the charge. But possible reductions in the temperature of the granular zone during solid state reduction need to be considered.Item Decrepitation of Brazilian manganese lump ores.(2010) Faria, Geraldo Lúcio de; Viana, Nívea Cristina da Silva; Jannotti Júnior, Nelson; Vieira, Cláudio Batista; Araújo, Fernando Gabriel da SilvaA common problem in the production of ferromanganese alloys is the lack of knowledge about the mineralogical and metallurgical properties of the manganese lump ores. An important quality parameter of the lump ores is the decrepitation, which has not been studied adequately yet. This work presents physical, chemical and mineralogical characterizations of manganese lump ores from the three main Brazilian mines, Azul, Morro da Mina and Urucum, as well as their decrepitation behaviors. The samples, after characterization, were separated in three batches, one as received, the second after drying at 105°C, and the third after thermal treatment at 200°C. They were then tested for decrepitation at the temperature of 700°C for 30 min, with the particle size range kept between 19 and 6.3mm. The influence of the thermal history was studied together with the influence of the typological classifications of the ores, i.e., anhydrous-oxide for Urucum, hydrated-oxide for Azul, silicatecarbonate for Morro da Mina. A significant difference amongst the decrepitation behaviors was observed for the lump ores from Azul, Urucum and Morro da Mina. The oxide ores from Urucum (- 6.3mm = 10%) and Azul (-6.3mm = 6%) present a high susceptibility to decrepitation, whilst the silicate-carbonate from Morro da Mina shows no decrepitation. The presence of moisture increased the decrepitation intensity of the Azul and Urucum lump ores. The bench-scale thermal treatment reduced in more then 60% the decrepitation indexes of both ores.Item Characterization of manganese alloy residues for the recycling of FeSiMn and high-carbon FeMn fines.(2008) Faria, Geraldo Lúcio de; Reis, Érica Linhares; Araújo, Fernando Gabriel da Silva; Vieira, Cláudio Batista; Krüger, Fernando Leopoldo von; Jannotti Júnior, NelsonCrushing residues of FeSiMn and high-carbon (HC) FeMn alloys were characterized in order to evaluate their recycling possibility. Particle size determination was performed by screening, followed by chemical analysis of each particle size range using plasma spectrometry (ICP-AES). The slag content was identified and quantified by optical microscopy. All of the fines with grain sizes above 1.18 mm presented alloy contents in excess of 99 wt. (%) and were determined to need no further concentration prior to recycling. However the contents of Mn, Fe, Si and P in the fraction below 1.18 mm did not meet the chemical specifications for commercial manganese alloys, except for phosphorous. Optical microscopy of the fraction below 1.18 mm, showed that 87.95% of the FeSiMn corresponded to the alloy and that the slag content was 12.05%. For the HC-FeMn sample, 95.07% corresponded to the alloy and only 4.93% to the slag. These results revealed potential for gravity concentration and recycling, reducing the residues in about 95% and improving the process productivity.Item Caracterização de uma tipologia de minério de manganês do Brasil.(2010) Reis, Érica Linhares; Faria, Geraldo Lúcio de; Araújo, Fernando Gabriel da Silva; Tenório, Jorge Alberto Soares; Vieira, Cláudio Batista; Jannotti Júnior, NelsonVisando a melhorias no benefi ciamento e no processo de fabricação de ferroligas de manganês, foi realizada a caracterização de uma tipologia predominante de minério de manganês, de ocorrência na região de Carajás, PA, BR. Obteve-se uma amostra representativa da tipologia e foram realizadas análise granulométrica por peneiramento e análise química, por ICP-AES. Foram identifi cadas por difratometria de raios X as fases minerais majoritárias. Um estudo termogravimétrico foi desenvolvido para verifi car a estabilidade térmica, ao ar, das fases minerais majoritárias. Observou-se que 19,3% da amostra encontram-se abaixo de 6,3mm. O teor de manganês no minério foi de 52,63% em peso, com 1,92% de sílica, 0,17% de fósforo e 3,13% de ferro. Foram identifi cados, na amostra, os óxidos de manganês criptomelana, todorokita e pirolusita, com goethita, quartzo, gibbisita e caolinita compondo a ganga. Para a amostra estudada, observou-se a decomposição térmica dos óxidos criptomelana e pirolusita, em torno de 600oC, ao ar. Em torno de 950oC, teve início a transformação de Mn2O3 em Mn3O4.
