Using hydrogen, South Africa demonstrates carbon-free manganese ferroalloys advance
South Africa's national mineral research organisation Mintek has achieved a significant milestone in sustainable metallurgy by demonstrating production of manganese ferroalloys using carbon-free reductants.”. This new cutting edge method, called the HAIMan process, uses hydrogen and aluminium instead of traditional carbon-based materials, eliminating carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions and generating zero waste. At the same time, it converts manganese-rich waste into valuable products, making the process both cleaner and more efficient.
