Abstract

In this paper, based on the practice of manganese production in China, a preliminary life cycle assessment (LCA) of the electrolytic manganese industry is provided, and an analysis of its environmental impact is carried out. A comparison is made between China and South Africa. By comparison, it can be seen that the environmental impact of the manganese production industry in China is more serious. New process technology can be expected to save energy and clean up production.
