SITHOLE, N.A. et al. Silicomanganese production at Mogale Alloys. J. S. Afr. Inst. Min. Metall. [online]. 2018, vol.118, n.11, pp.1205-1216. ISSN 2411-9717.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2411-9717/2018/v118n11a11.

Mogale Alloys operates two alternating current (AC) submerged arc furnaces (SAFs), and two direct current (DC) open bath furnaces. These furnaces are capable of producing two products, silicomanganese (SiMn) and ferrochrome (FeCr), with a total production capacity of 110 000 t/a. This paper focuses on the silicomanganese process specific to Mogale Alloys, with a two-furnace operation facility that produces 55 000 t of SiMn per annum.

Keywords : silicomanganese; submerged arc furnace; Mogale Alloys.
