Abstract
Manganese extraction from a low-grade ore was investigated using cane molasses as a reducing agent in dilute sulfuric acid medium. The effects of concentrations of cane molasses and sulfuric acid, leaching temperature as well as reaction time were discussed. The results showed that high manganese recovery with low Fe and Al extraction yield could be obtained by analyzing the leaching efficiencies of Mn, Fe and Al during the leaching process. The optimal leaching condition was determined as 1.9 mol/L H2SO4 and 60.0 g/L cane molasses for 120 min at 90 °C while using particles smaller than 0.147 mm. The leaching efficiencies were 97.0% for Mn, whereas 21.5% for Al and 32.4% for Fe, respectively.
