Method to determine the decrepitation index of South African manganese ores when heating in a rotary kiln

Manganese ores are the major raw materials utilized in the production of manganese ferroalloys. Decrepitation, which is described as the breakage or disintegration of the ore particles upon heating in a rotary kiln, is an important quality parameter of these ores.
