In order to make high-purity ferro-manganese from Mn3O4 waste dust, the application of aluminothermite process to the reduction of the waste dust was investigated. The mixture from Mn3O4 dust as metallic source and Al metal powder as the reductant ignited, and reduced with an extremely intense exothermic reaction. The rapid propagation of the aluminothermite reaction occurred spontaneously and stably by ignition of the mixture. The Manganese having some alloy elements emerged as liquids due to the high temperatures reached up to about 2,500℃ and separated from the liquid by their differences of specific gravity. The result of thermite reaction showed the fact that can be obtained high purity ferro-manganese which have over about 90% of manganese content and lower impurities such as C, P, S than those of KS D3712 specification. The recovery of manganese from Mn3O4 dust was lower level of about 65% than about 75% from manganese ore by electric furnace process, that is due to spatter loss because of its extremely intense thermite reaction. But it will be improved by the process designed to provide CaO as the cooler or to use the Al metal powder having larger particle size distribution.

In this study, the catalytic combustion of propionaldehyde, which is an Offensive Odorant Substance assigned by the Korean Ministry of Environment (KMOE), over alumina-supported manganese oxide (Mn/Al2 O3) catalysts was investigated. The combustion reaction was carried out in a fixed-bed reactor at the temperature range of 200 ∼340 ℃. Mn/Al2O3 catalysts with Mn loadings ranging from 3.9 to 18.3 wt.% were prepared by impregnation method. The physicochemical characteristics of the catalysts were analyzed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The Mn crystalline phases of the Mn/Al2O3 catalysts were identified as α-Mn2O3 and β-MnO2. Mn oxides were covered on γ-Al2O3 supports with an average diameter of around 1 μm. With the increase of Mn loadings, the BET surface areas, pore volumes and average pore diameters of the Mn/Al2O3 catalysts decreased. The catalytic activities of Mn/Al2O3 catalysts increased as the Mn loading was increased from 3.9 wt.% to 18.3 wt.%. The catalyst with 18.3 wt.% Mn loading was able to achieve 100% propionaldehyde conversion at 260 ℃. For the same temperature, a lower Gas Hourly Space Velocity (GHSV) and a lower propionaldehyde concentration promote the complete combustion of propionaldehyde.

The potassium permanganate was used for manganese oxide catalyst with various methods and various processes, which manganese oxide wasused for removal of formaldehyde in flow gas. Experiments indicate that these catalyst materials are difference from each other because of raw materials used and pH values in catalysts preparation when used for formaldehyde removal. And when catalyst was prepared by using potassium permanganate and GLU or PEAunder different pH values respectively, it could have good performance in formaldehyde oxidizing purification. In this thesis, when the ratio of potassium permanganate and GLU was 5:1 for catalyst preparation, and 5 mL of nitric acid was added, the formaldehyde elimination efficiency could be maintained at 100% longer than 600 minutes. And when the ratio of potassium permanganate and PEA was 10:1 for catalyst preparation, and 5 mL of nitric acid was added, the formaldehyde elimination efficiency could be maintained at 100% longer than 705 minutes.

In soil ecosystems, chemicals are often found as mixtures. Therefore, the toxicity data generated by single toxicity tests are inadequate for assessing the potential risk of complex mixtures of chemicals for soil ecosystems. In the present study, the mixture toxicity of copper and manganese on the reproduction of Paronychiurus kimi were assessed using a Toxic Unit approach (1TU=EC50). The concentrations of each metal in the mixture were summed as follows: TUmixture = CCu/EC50 of Cu + CMn/EC50 of Mn, where CMetal are the concentrations of copper and manganese in the mixture. From the Sum TU based dose-response relationships, sum of a toxicunit (TU50) at 50% reduction for the mixture (EC50mix) was calculated. The binary mixture toxicity was defined as being concentration additiv (EC50mix=1TU) or as being more or less than additive (EC50mix<1TU or 1>TU, respectively). Also, values of the mixture (TUi) at i% reduction found were predicted to get more insight regarding the relationship between mixture toxicity and various effect levels (ranging from EC10 to EC90). The toxicities of copper and manganese mixtures were less than additive at the EC10 level, whereas more than additive at the EC90 level. These findings imply that the effect levels are important for determining the toxicity of metal mixtures.

[ ] powders for lithium ion batteries were synthesized from two separate raw material pairs of LiOH/MnO and . The powders prepared at 780 and and their difference of electrochemical properties were investigated. Both powders calcined at 780 and were composed of a single-phase spinel structure but those treated at showed a lower intensity ratio of to , a slightly larger lattice parameter, and an increased discharge capacity by 10% under voltage range. The XPS study on the oxidation states of manganese repealed that powders made from LiOH/MnO had less ion and gave better battery performances than those from .

The present study examines the sintering behaviour and effect of manganese addition both mechanically-blended and mechanically alloyed on Cr-Mo low alloyed steels to enhance the mechanical properties. Mn sublimation during sintering provides some specific phenomena which facilitate the sintering of alloying elements with high oxygen affinity. First step is the optimization of milling time to attain a master alloy with 50% of Mn which is diluted in Fe-1.5Cr-0.2Mo water atomized prealloyed powder by normal mixing. These mixtures are pressed to a green density of 7.1 g/cm3 and sintered at 1120 ºC in 90N2-10H2 atmosphere.

Manganese is an alloying element that improves the hardenability of steels. It could be a valid substitute in sintered steels, increasing mechanical properties. The hardenability of three low alloy Mn steels was studied to establish the influence of manganese on the heat treatments. The Grossmann approach was adopted, which uses cylinders with different diameters to induce different gradients of cooling rate in the cross section. The correlation of microstructure and microhardness to the actual cooling rate makes the results independent on the process parameters and applicable to each industrial condition, once the actual cooling rate in the parts is known.

The effect of chemical composition of the sintering atmosphere on density, microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe-3%Mn-(Cr)-(Mo)-0.3%C steels is described. Pre-alloyed Astaloy CrM and CrL, ferromanganese and graphite were used as the starting powders. Following pressing in a rigid die, compacts were sintered at 1120 and in atmospheres having different ratio and furnace cooled to room temperature. It has been found that the atmosphere composition has negligible effect on the as-sintered properties of the investigated materials.

The plastic deformation behavior of cemented carbides is related to the WC grain boundary strength. Ab initio calculations predict that Co and Mn segregate to WC/WC grain boundaries. To experimentally study the effect of Mn, a WC-Co-Mn material was manufactured and compared to a WC-Co material. The microstructure was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), including electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Special attention was paid to the WC grain size and the frequency of special low-energy grain boundaries. Mn was found to have negligible effect on both the WC grain growth and the fraction of WC/WC boundaries in the as-sintered material.

For decompose carbon dioxide, manganese oxide was synthesized with 0.25M-MnSO4·nH2O and 0.5M-NaOH by coprecipitation. We made magnetite deoxidized manganese oxide by hydrogen reduction for 1hour at 330℃. We investigated characteristics of catalyst, hydrogen reduction degree and decomposition rate of carbon dioxide. The structure of the hausmannite certified spinel type. The specific surface area of synthesized hausmannite and deoxidized hausmannite were 22.36m2/g, 33.56m2/g respectively. The decomposition rate of CO2 of deoxidized hausmannite was 57%.

52mol% Fe2O3, 26mol% MnO의 조성에서 calcium과 vanadium의 동시첨가에 의한 투자율의 변화원인을 살펴보았다. 초투자율은 첨가물의 농도가 커짐에 따라 감사하였으나 소결체의 밀도나 입자크기는 증가하였으므로 초투자율의 변화는 미세구조의 변화로는 설명되지 않았다. 전기비저항은 첨가물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며 이는 입계의 고저항층의 생성과 vanadium ion에 의한 Fe2+이온의 산화로 설명되었다. 첨가물의 농도가 증가함에 따라, 초투자율의 제 2차 최대치가 나타나지 않는 것과 초투자율이 감소하는 것으로부터, 결정자기이방성 상수의 값은 음으로 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 투자육의 온도의존성과 비저항의 변화로부터, 첨가물의 농도에 따른 상온 초투자율의 감소는 Fe2+ 이온 농도의 감소에 따른 결정자기이방성 상수의 증가에 의한 효과와 입계에 유리질이 생겨 자벽이 쉽게 이동하지 못하는 효과 때문인 것으로 판단되었다.

Liquid phase sintering of 90W-6Ni-4Mn alloy has been investigated as functions of sintering atmosphere, heating rate, and reduction temperature. The present work accounts for the thermodynamic oxidatiodreduction reactions of constituent powders of W, Ni and Mn. By discounting these reactions, the previous investigations would obtain only the alloy with large pores and the lowered relative sintered density, by the liquid phase sintering under a dry hydrogen atmosphere. the sintering cycle consisted of a rapid heating to reduction temperatures under high purity nitrogen atmosphere, and holding for 4 hours and sintering at for 1 hour under a dry hydrogen gas. The relative density of the sintered alloy increased with increasing heating rate. As the reduction temperature increased, the relative density increased to the lm theotical density at the duction temture above . The mimsturcatre of sintered alloys has been analysed by a scanning election microscope. The sintered density was compared with those obtained from the other investigators. It was found that the reduction results in the lowered densification of 90W-6Ni-4Mn alloy. This is caused by the fact that reducing reactions of W and Ni oxides contained in W an Ni powders concomitantly leads to oxidizing reaction of Mn powder the oxidized Mn is hardly reduced at sintering temperature and thereby remains large pores in the alloy. It is concluded that the W-Ni-Mn alloy with full density can be obtained by the precise control of atmosphere, heating rate, and sintering temperature.

유라시아 대륙 주변부 북극해의 천해에서도 태평양이나 인도양의 심해저에서와 같이 많은 망가니즈 단괴가 발견되고 있지만, 이에 관한 자세한 연구는 많이 수행되고 있지 않다. 아라온호의 북극해 탐사를 통 하여 동시베리아해에서 채취한 망가니즈단괴는 Mn/Fe 비가 매우 높아 Mn 자원으로서의 가능성이 매우 크다. 이번 연구에서는 북극 동시베리아해에서 산출되는 망가니즈단괴 중 약 7%를 차지하는 비구형 단괴를 외부형 태에 따라 구분하고, 크기와 무게, 내부조직을 관찰하였으며, X선회절분석 그래프의 피크 면적비를 이용한 산 화망가니즈광물의 반정량 분석과 지화학분석을 실시하여, 그 결과를 구형 단괴와 비교하였다. 비구형 망가니 즈단괴는 외부형태에 따라 5가지로 구분되며, 타원체형, 판상형과 불규칙형이 대부분을 차지하며, 장경과 무 게는 비례하는 경향이 있다. 비구형 단괴는 모두 핵을 가지며, 핵 성분은 이질 퇴적물이 주를 이룬다. 산화망 가니즈광물의 평균 함량은 버네사이트, 부서라이트, 토도로카이트 순으로 감소하며, 함량비는 외부형태, 내부 조직이나 핵 성분과는 상관관계가 없지만, 단괴의 내부에서 외부로 갈수록 토도로카이트와 부서라이트는 감 소하고, 버네사이트가 증가하는 경향이 있다. 북극해의 다른 천해는 물론 태평양이나 인도양의 심해저의 단괴 에 비하여 Mn 함량이 많고, Mn/Fe 비가 높다. 비구형 단괴는 구형 단괴에 비하여 크기가 크고 무겁고, Mn 함량이 적고 Mn/Fe 비는 낮지만, 광물조성이나 내부조직에서는 큰 차이가 없다. 동시베리아해에서 채취된 모 든 망간단괴는 Mn/Fe 비가 5 이상으로 높으므로 대부분 속성작용에 의하여 형성된 것으로 여겨진다.
