SECOND MISCONCEPTDuring sintering, the silica content in finished sinterincreases to great extent leading to higher slag volume,higher Mn losses and higher power, so sinters areuneconomical.FACT• Oxygen loss during sintering is 9 to 10 % only(MnO2 Mn3O4).• Silica (SiO2) addition through coke is 1 to 1.2 %only.• Overall silica (SiO2) increase in Mn input is 0.6 to0.65 % only.7
