    Abstract:

    The kinetics of carbothermic reduction of Manganese ore from Sabzevar mine deposit have been established. The investigations showed that in the temperature range of 900-1000°c, Pyrolusite (MnO2) in the ore was reduced to Manganese Monoxide (MnO). X-Ray Diffraction Analysis of the as-mined ore samples confirmed the presence of Pyrolusite as the major phase in the Manganese ores. Pyrolusite has been reduced in the different temperatures by regenerative agent (Graphite 99.99%) to Bixbyte (Mn2O3), Hausmannite (Mn3O4) and Manganese Monoxide (MnO). Isothermal roasting at temperatures of 900°C and 1000°C with roasting retention times of 300s, 600s, 900s, 1200s, 1500s, 1800s and 2100s was performed, while the weight loss was monitored by using laboratory digital balance and the phases derived from samples (1200s and 2100s) at both temperatures (900 and 1000°C) were examined by using XRD analysis. Temperature and time had a significant influence on the reducibility of the ores.
