2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND/
OR REGION
In chemical industry, Manganese, a chemical element designated by symbol Mn can be
applied for making various manganese compounds viz. manganese sulphate, manganese
chloride, and potassium permanganate. The most common usage of manganese is in the
dry batteries production process.
Manganese oxide (MnO):-
Manganese oxide is derived from Manganese a brittle metal element. It is widely
distributed in the earth’s crust and is the most important manganese compound. The
element Manganese oxide (MnO) is needed for plant growth and in the physical

development of higher animals. It is used mainly in cattle feed in addition in steel
industry & Dry cell batteries. Synthetic manganese oxide is prepared by decomposition
of manganese nitrate; by reaction of manganese sulphate, oxygen and sodium hydroxide;
or by electrolysis of an aqueous solution of manganese sulphate.
Ferroalloy:-
Ferroalloy refers to various alloy of iron with a high proportion of one or more
other elements such as manganese, aluminum, or silicon. They are used in the production
of steels and alloys. The alloy impart distinctive qualities to steel and cast iron or serve
important functions during production and are, therefore, closely associated with the iron
and steel industry, the leading consumer of ferroalloys. The leading ferroalloy-producing
countries in 2008 were China, South Africa, Russia, Kazakistan and Ukraine, which
accounted for 77% of the world production. World production of bulk chromium,
manganese and silicon ferroalloys was estimated as 29.1 million tonnes (MT) in 2008, a
3% decrease compared with 2007.
Ferro-alloys are among the essential inputs required for steelmaking. It improves the
quality of steel, by controlling the harmful impurities and at the same time improves the
mechanical properties of steel through alloying. Growth in Global as well as domestic
steel industry directly drives the demand of Ferro-alloys. Since Indian steel industry is
under massive expansion, there is a tremendous potential for investment in Ferro-alloy
production.
The increasing demand of Ferro Alloys, which is used as raw material in steel and
stainless steel industries, prompted M/s. Janakiji Minerals to Manufacture Manganese
Oxide and Ferro Alloys.
2.4 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE
PROJECT:

3.4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS
MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF MANGANESE OXIDE (MnO)
After Raw Material receipt at the site it is tested for the contents of various
elements and then the material is screened. After screening you get different size
which are jigged in automatic water jigging.
The material is then heated in coal fired furnace. From where it is transferred for
drying and magnetic separation.
Then the material is dried and after Magnetic Separation it is feed to grinding
Machine, where it is powdered in the required mesh size.
After grinding it is semi automatically packed in 25 kg/50 kg/ or 100 kg HDPE
Bags and kept ready for dispatch.
PFR of M/S. JANAKIJI MINERALS

MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF FERRO MANGANESE (Fe Mn) M.C. & L.C.
Alumino Thermic process is the best process to manufacture any Low Carbon Ferro
Manganese,
Medium Carbon Ferro Manganese.
Manganese ore is available in 1” to 4” size of lumps and these lumps are crushed in
crusher machine into ½” to 1” size and crushed material is then feed in Disintegrator
machine and grind into 60-80 mesh size.
Silico Manganese is available ½” to 1” size and the said material is grounded in
Disintegrator machine into 60-80 mesh size.
Aluminum chura / scrap grounded in Disintegrator machine into 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm size.
Lime is also grind in Ball Mill machine into 60-80 mesh size.
High Carbon Ferro Alloys are manufactured in sub merged Arch furnace by Carbo
Thermic Process. Low Carbon Alloys and Medium Carbon Alloys are manufactured by
Silico Thermic Furnace Process and Alumina Thermic process, where smelting is done in
refractory lined vessels
Grinded material of Manganese Ore powder, Silico Manganese Powder and Aluminum
powder are mixed along with fluxing material like Lime powder and fluorspar powder in
percentage wise. After thorough mixing a small portion of mixed material is put in to the
M.S Vessels and ignited by help of magnesium wire or thermit mixer consisting of sodium
nitrate, aluminum powder and raw Manganese Ore powder. After ignition of material in the
vessel, the balance material is feeded in to the vessel till whole material is charged. After
feeding of whole material to vessels the said material are melted in liquid form and then after
one hour Metal Cake is formed in bottom of Vessel and Slag in upper side of cake. Then the
temperature slows down naturally and allowed it to cool for 12 hours and after that the vessel
is dismantled to remove the cake of metal and slag separately. The material which is
unloaded from furnace contain approximately 97-100% of Ferro Manganese and 5-10 %
material is Slag in wastage form..
After collecting the lumps and crushing it to the size of 10-70 mm can sale it directly to Iron
Alloys, Stainless Steel, casting Industry or grind it as per parties’ requirement and this
material sale it to Welding Electrodes Industry. The grinded material will be packed in gunny
bag/jute bag or second hand steel drums for final dispatches to buyers.
PFR of M/S. JANAKIJI MINERALS
17
Low carbon Ferro Manganese, an alloy of Manganese and Iron, is an important alloying
element for various quality of Alloy steel, including Stainless Steel. It is also an important
input for manufacturing of welding electrodes.
After collecting the slag from metal cake and crushing the same as per party requirement.
This material is then sold to Silico manganese manufacturer in large quantity. Thus there is
no loss or wastage of even small quantity of material.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF METAL/ALLOYS
Alumino Thermic process is the best process to manufacture any Low Carbon Ferro
Titanium, Low Carbon Ferro Chrome, Low Carbon Ferro Vanadium. In this process
aluminum is the source of energy which provides immense quantum of heat (say 1600-2000
degree centigrade) by Exothermic Reaction which is not possible by any other means of
energy.
In this process metallic oxides (Ores) say raw material are mixed with Aluminum
powder/Fluxes like Lime, Fluorspar, Iron turnings etc for manufacturing of Low Carbon
Ferro Titanium, Low Carbon Ferro Chrome, Low Carbon Ferro Molybdenum and Low
Carbon Ferro Vanadium called thermit Mix. Small portion of the thermit mix is then taken in
M.S. Crucibles with refractory lining ignited with the help of sparkler. The complete charge
of thermit mix poured gradually & in due course with the exothermic reaction, heat is
developed in the bath & complete charge comes in molten stage due to gravity metal being
heavier settles down. By natural cooling, comes to solid stage with perfect separation of
metal & slag. Metal collected separately & dresses to size & packing for steel & alloys units.

Analysis of proposal (Final Recommendations)
8.1 FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL BENEFITS WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON THE
BENEFITS TO THE LOCAL PEOPLE INCLUDING TRIBAL POPULATION
The proposed project will result in improvement of infrastructure as well as upliftment of
social structure in the area. The people residing in the nearby areas will be benefited
directly and indirectly. It is anticipated that the proposed project will provide benefits for
the local people in two phases i.e. during construction phase as well as during operational
stage of the plant.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Employment
The major benefit due to the proposed project will be in the sphere of generating
employment for people of that area. The proposed project will benefit local population.
OPERATIONAL PHASE
Employment
The manpower requirements for the operational phase after the proposed project will be
about 30 - 40 people. In addition, there will be an indirect employment for skilled/ semi
skilled people during project life. All attempts will be made to employ suitable, locally
available, skilled personnel from the nearby area. In case of non-availability of skilled
persons, people will be employed from outside area.
Transportation
There will also be small increase in the vehicular traffic due to passenger transport. This
increase in traffic will not have any consequence to warrant special mention. One should
expect that the increased passenger load in the sector would prompt the state government/
private movers to start new and frequent public transport services to this area, bringing
upliftment to the whole locality.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
a) AIR MANAGEMENT
There will be two major source of air pollution in the plant, fugitive emissions from various
material handling and transfer points and flue gases generated from various combustion
units. Flue gases generated will be cleaned in the Wet scrubbers and discharged through
stack, so that the dust concentration will be well within the prescribed standard.
Height of the all the flue gas discharge facilities will be designed as per CPCB norms.
Transportation
The raw material will be transported by Road.
Raw material & Finished Products will be transported by road.
It will be ensure that all trucks carrying raw material are tarpaulin covered.
Internal roads are being Tarred / Concreted with installation of water sprinklers to
suppress dust due to transportation.
Traffic Details
There will be increase of only 10-12 trucks per month after the proposed expansion
project. Proper Dust Suppression is proposed in the premises, sprinkling on internal
roads, regular check up & maintenance of vehicles, it will be ensured that all
trucks/dumper will be covered by Tarpaulin.
b) WATER ENVIRONMENT
The wastewater generated from the Zigging process and Air Pollution Control System will be
treated in settling tank and reused in the process. The domestic wastewater generated will be
treated in Packaged Type STP.
