Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a high purity Mn, the method comprising: placing a flake-like electrolytic Mn raw material in a magnesia crucible to perform melting with the use of a vacuum induction melting furnace (VIM furnace) at a melting temperature of 1240 to 1400° C. under an inert atmosphere of 500 Torr or less; then adding calcium in a range between 0.5 and 2.0% of the weight of Mn to perform deoxidation and desulfurization; casting the resultant in an iron mold after the completion of the deoxidation and desulfurization to manufacture an ingot; then placing the Mn ingot into a magnesia crucible to perform melting with the use of a vacuum induction melting furnace (VIM furnace) at a melting temperature, which is adjusted to 1200 to 1450° C. and maintained for 10 to 60 minutes, under an inert atmosphere of 200 Torr or less; casting the resultant in an iron mold to manufacture an ingot; then placing the metal Mn ingot in an alumina crucible; reducing pressure to 0.01 Torr with a vacuum pump; and then heating to develop a sublimation and distillation reaction. Provided is a method for manufacturing a high purity metal Mn from a commercially available electrolytic Mn. In particular, an object is to obtain a high purity metal Mn in which the amount of impurities such as B, Mg, Al and Si is small.
