Manganese or silicon carbide is formed in a solid state reaction by mixing finely divided manganese or silicon oxide particles with finely divided carbonaceous material (e.g. coke) particles. The materials may be formed into agglomerates including excess carbonaceous material and heated in a suitable reactor vessel. An iron source, such as pig iron and/or iron scrap, can also be added. In that case, the manganese or silicon carbide dissolves in the molten iron to produce ferrosilicon or ferromanganese alloys. |
