Ferromanganese is used as deoxidizing and alloying agent in steelmaking. In order to produce high quality steel, it is desirable to have phosphorus contents in the ferro-manganese less than 0.25%. However, the ferromanganese alloys produced in India continue to have high (>0.4%) phosphorus levels.There are no established methods exis-ting for lowering the phoshorus levels in ferromanganese
