PROPERTIES OF MANGANESE ORES AND THEIR CHANGE IN .
The ores were ground into different particle size fractions. The size fraction of Wessels and Groote Eylandt manganese ores was 45 150 μm; CVRD and Gabonese ores were studied in the range 100 – 300 μm. Chemical composition of the ores was determined by XRF, as given in Table 1 (moisture and LOI were excluded).
