Get PriceThe Kalahari manganese field is made up of five structurally preserved erosional relics of the Hotazel Formation, consistng of iron-formation with interbedded units of manganese ore. The largest of the five deposits is the Kalahari deposit (Gutzmer, 1995) (Fig.1
Get Price2020/8/19Manganese removes oxygen and sulfur when iron ore (an iron and oxygen compound) is converted into iron. It also is an essential alloy that helps convert iron into steel. As an alloy, it decreases the brittleness of steel and imparts strength. The amount of manganese used per ton of steel is rather small, ranging from 6 to 9 kilograms.
