Abstract
En 中文
During the production of ferromanganese and ferrosilicomanganese alloys, large amounts of dust containing manganese and valuable non-ferrous metals such as zinc and lead are generated. Efficient utilization of this dust is essential for resource recovery and environmental protection. This study investigates processing approaches for zinc- and lead-rich and zinc- and lead-poor dusts formed during manganese ferroalloy smelting at the Taraz Metallurgical Plant (Kazakhstan). Laboratory and semi-industrial experiments were performed using electric smelting and Waelz processing of briquetted dust with carbonaceous reducing agents. Thermodynamic modeling with the HSC-6 software was applied to determine equilibrium conditions and metal distribution. Smelting of lead-rich dust (28.6% PbO) yielded crude lead (92-95% Pb), lead-zinc sublimates (15-26% Zn, 6-17% Pb), and manganese-rich slag (45-46% MnO). Waelz processing of zinc-rich dust (31.1% ZnO) produced sublimates with 53-55% Zn and 6-7% Pb, and clinker with 38-41% MnO. Metal recoveries reached 84-98% Zn, 91-97% Pb, and 82-99% Mn. The developed technological schemes ensure efficient, environmentally safe recovery of metals and complete utilization of ferroalloy production residues.
