Cold Agglomeration of Ultrafine Oxidized Dust (UOD) from Ferromanganese and Silicomanganese Industrial Process

Different wastes are generated in ferromanganese and silicomanganese alloy production. One of them is the ultrafine oxidized dust (UOD) produced in the collection and control of flying dusts in the ferroalloy industry. This waste has fairly high manganese content (20%–40% Mn), making it suitable to...
