Silicomanganese (SiMn) fume is an industrial waste whose potency in the synthesis of alkaline activated mortar is yet to be explored. The major constituents of SiMn fume are SiO2, MnO2 and K2O. SiMn fume based mortar cured at room temperature (23 ± 2 °C) was synthesized with NaOH (NH) of varie...detailed
Granulated air-cooled silicomanganese slag from ferro-alloy manufacturing plants is mainly disposed as a landfill waste. On the other hand, it is highly advisable and beneficial to partially replace Portland cement with suitable industrial wastes. The present work investigates the viability of u...detailed
A hydrometallurgical process is proposed in this paper to recover manganese from silicomanganese slag. The paper reports the digestion–leaching experiments and precipitation and electrowinning assays to recover Mn from this residue. Silicomanganese slag was first treated with sulfuric acid in a...detailed
A novel and eco-efficient CaMoO4/electroconductive geopolymer composite (CaMoO4/EGC) was synthesized for the first time to realize double goals of high-value recycling of silicomanganese slag (SS) and effective treatment of dye wastewater by photocatalytic degradation. The XRD and XPS results de...detailed
Ferruginous manganese ores contain high concentrations of iron and having low Mn/Fe ratio and are not suitable to produce standard grade of silicomanganese. Thermochemical calculations based on available thermodynamics databases were used to understand the smelting behavior of the ore mix consis...detailed
