Abstract
Electrolytic manganese residue (EMR), a major byproduct of electrolytic manganese metal (EMM) production, poses significant environmental and resource management challenges. This review systematically examines the physicochemical properties, environmental impact, and current detoxification and valorization strategies for EMR. Various utilization approaches, including resource recovery, construction materials, environmental remediation, and functional materials, are evaluated in terms of their applications, advantages, and limitations. The potential for optimizing EMR processing to enhance sustainability is highlighted, with a focus on cost-effective detoxification methods and circular economy-driven utilization strategies. Advanced materials engineering plays a key role in enhancing the performance and utilization efficiency of EMR-based functional materials. In parallel, comprehensive environmental management strategies are vital to mitigate ecological risks and ensure sustainable implementation.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is to provide for the rapid publication of topical papers featuring the latest developments in the allied fields of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. Its wide ranging coverage of research and practical (operating) topics includes physical separation methods, such as comminution, flotation concentration and dewatering, chemical methods such as bio-, hydro-, and electro-metallurgy, analytical techniques, process control, simulation and instrumentation, and mineralogical aspects of processing. Environmental issues, particularly those pertaining to sustainable development, will also be strongly covered.
