The experiment was preceded by the characterization of raw materials. Manganese ore and limestone were analyzed using XRF and XRD. Charcoal and palm kernel shells were analyzed proximate to determine its carbon content. Based on the analysis of raw materials then calculated mass balance to determine the raw material requirements for each experiment. The variations are the use of reductant ratio (1, 1.5 and 2.1 stoichiometric ratio). Products and slag are analyzed using OES and AAS to determine its chemical composition. The results showed that the use of palm kernel shell as a reductant better than charcoal for all use ratio (1, 1.5 or 2.1 stoichiometric ratio). The highest percentage of manganese extraction using palm kernel shells as a reducing agent is 49.91% (75.58% Mn, 15.75% Fe, 2.12% C, 5.23% Si, 0.08% P) with the product of FeMn is 6,6 kg. The highest percentage of manganese extraction using charcoal as reductant is 44.16% (72.35% Mn, 18.44% Fe, 1.93% C, 5.69% Si, 0.02% P) with the product of FeMn is 6,1 kg. The results showed that palm kernel shell and charcoal could potentially be used as a reductant in the production ferromanganese.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Carbon content,Chemical compositions,Electric arc furnace,Low-grade manganese,Manganese ore,Palm kernel shells,Raw material requirements,Stoichiometric ratio[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/285/1/012022[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
