THE INFLUENCE OF SLAG COMPOSITION ON THE
utilization of existing Mn from the EAF charge and reduction of MnO within the dephosphorized steel melt in the decarburization stage [7, 8, 9]. Generally, nearly 80wt% of manganese from the EAF charge is lost in the slag during the usual production of lowcarbon steel grades in the electric arc furnace [10]. Its content in the metal is
