How it’s Made
Producing manganese metal flakes involves a series of precise steps that ensure the overall quality of the finished product.
-
Extracting the ore: Nothing can happen until the manganese ore is extracted from a mine and then transported to the processing plant for refinement.
-
Preparing the ore: Once it arrives at the processing plant the ore undergoes a series of steps designed to prepare it for further processing. Those steps include crushing, grinding and washing to obtain a concentrated state that is free of most impurities.
-
Roasting the ore: The purified ore is roasted in a furnace at a temperature of 450° C.
-
Leaching: Once roasted sulphuric acid is mixed with the concentrated ore to form a solution of manganese sulphate.
-
Electrolysis: Next, the manganese sulphate is subjected to electrolysis. The result is that pure manganese metal is deposited on the cathode.
-
Formation of flakes: The deposited manganese is processed to achieve the desired flake shape. These flakes are then dried and prepared for distribution.
