摘要

The sustainable valorization of electrolytic manganese residues (EMR) necessitates innovative strategies to recover valuable metals while mitigating environmental impacts. In this study we demonstrate a biomass driven carbothermic reduction-magnetic separation process that replaces conventional coke-based methods, enabling simultaneous recovery of high purity iron oxides and manganese enrichment. Through integrated thermodynamic modeling, in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), Raman spectrum, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectrum, and kinetic analysis, we elucidate the phase evolution mechanisms: iron sulfides (FeS/FeS2) undergo oxidation to Fe2O3, followed by carbothermal reduction to magnetically separable Fe3O4, while MnO2 progresses through sequential reduction (MnO2 → Mn2O3 → Mn3O4 → MnO) under controlled oxygen fugacity modulated by biomass char. Optimal conditions (800 °C, 2 h, 10% biomass char) yield 92.4% Fe recovery as Fe3O4 (95.1 wt% purity) and elevate Mn content in residual clinker to 28.6 wt%, facilitating downstream recycling. Biomass char not only suppresses Mn volatilization but also enhances reduction kinetics, achieving near complete Fe3O4 formation and MnO dominance (> 90%). This study investigates the utilization of renewable reductants in metallurgical processes to transform hazardous EMR into functional materials. The approach highlights a feasible pathway for industrial solid waste valorization, contributing to circular economy strategies and supporting efforts toward industrial decarbonization.
