The invention discloses a production method of electrolytic
manganese metal, which sequentially comprises the following steps: (1) simultaneously adding mixed ore
powder of
manganese dioxide ores, sulfurous iron ores and
manganese carbonate ores and
sulfuric acid into a leaching combination tank, heating to 90-95 DEG C, performing leaching
combination reaction for 4-6 hours, and performing
solid-liquid separation to obtain a rough manganese
sulfate solution; (2) performing two-stage purification on the rough manganese
sulfate solution to remove impurities, wherein in the primary purification process, SDD or BaS is added for
impurity removal, and then aluminum
sulfate is added for purification; and in the secondary purification process, 10-30% of deep
impurity removal agent is added, and then
ammonium sulfide is added for
zinc removal; reacting for 1-2 hours, checking and regulating the pH value to 6.0-8.0, performing pressure
filtration, then transferring into a standing tank, and standing; and (3) injecting the purified manganese sulfate solution into an electrolytic tank, controlling the pH value of an electrolytic tank solution to be 7.0-8.0, and electrolyzing for at least 24 hours to obtain the electrolytic manganese
metal product. According to the method disclosed by the invention, manganese ore resources are reasonably utilized, and the production cost is lowered.
