摘      要：Low grade ferromanganese tailing was subjected to different mineralogical techniques,reduction roasting and magnetic separation to establish whether commercially acceptable manganese qualities and high Mn/Fe ratio could be obtained,and also to determine the best processing route for benefciating this *** main manganese mineral within the feed sample is birnessite,with minor amounts of pyrolusite and *** by assay analysis conducted presented a result with a yield of about 35.75%and Mn grade of 27.63% to coarse(à3.35+1 mm)and yield of 20.24% and Mn grade of 27.71% to(à1.18+0.50 mm)***-stage high induced magnetic separations at 16,000 and 11,000 G produces Mn grades with similar grade to that obtained from the ferromanganese feed *** roasting followed by magnetic separation onà1.18+0.50 mm at 1000 G recovered 72.31% Mn with a grade of 58.44% Mn,2.52% Fe and 3.29% Si at Mn/Fe ratio of *** study reveals the influence of roasting in converting the hematite and goethite to magnetite and the response of the roasted fraction to magnetic separation.
