1. A method of producing medium-carbon ferro-manganese by a metallothermic reaction, in an enclosed vessel, between manganese ore and a reducing alloy based on silicon, characterised in that the reactor is fitted with at least one injection nozzle discharging into its bottom region, that molten silico-manganese is placed in the reactor at the first stage, that a mixture of lime and solid manganese ore with an average degree of oxidation of over 3 and preferably from 3.5 to 4 is added gradually, that they are agitated by blowing gas into the nozzle at least throughout the reaction, and that the slag based on calcium silicate and still containing 20 to 35% of MnO and the refined ferro-manganese are separated by casting. |
