China’s Environmental Management of Mn-Containing End Products

As an important factor of production in the steel and iron industry, manganese (Mn) is mainly used for production of ferromanganese (FeMn) and silicon-manganese (SiMn) alloys. But due to the complexity of production processes, there are inevitably some Mn-containing end products, such as FeMn slags and SiMn slags. If we remain committed to traditional solutions, such end products may be directly disposed as waste and thrown into the slag fields, which will lead to pollutions and waste of Mn resources. In view of this problem, REACH24H sees the value of such Mn slags and investigates China’s management of solid end products containing manganese as well as critical downstream applications for such manganese-containing end products, especially for FeMn slags and SiMn slags.
