Manganese
Manganese metal is the fourth most widely consumed metal after iron,
aluminium and copper. 90% of the world's manganese ore production
(metallurgical grade) is consumed by the steel industry, mainly in the
form of ferromanganese or silico-manganese. Most of the remaining 10%
(chemical grade) is used as chemical dioxide for the manufacture of dry
batteries, and a very small percentage as chemical additives in paints,
brick colouring, fertilisers and pet feed.
