Airborne Emissions from Mn Ferroalloy Production
Kero, Ida; Eidem, Per Anders; Ma, Yan; Indresand, Hege; Aarhaug, Thor Anders; Grådahl, Svend (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Airborne emissions from metal production represent a health, safety, and environmental challenge to which more and more attention is being directed. Industries worldwide, as well as authorities and others, are resolute in ... -
Cellular responses of human astrocytoma cells to dust from the Acheson process. An in vitro study
Arnoldussen, Yke Jildouw; Ervik, Torunn Kringlen; Berlinger, Balazs; Kero, Ida; Shaposhnikov, Sergey; Zienolddiny, Shanbeh (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Silicon carbide (SiC) is largely used in various products such as diesel particulate filters and solar panels. It is produced through the Acheson process where aerosolized fractions of SiC and other by-products are generated ... -
Cellular Responses of Industrially Relevant Silica Dust on Human Glial Cells In Vitro
Arnoldussen, Yke Jildouw; Ervik, Torunn Kringlen; Eriksen, Mina Baarnes; Kero, Ida; Skaug, Vidar; Zienolddiny, Shanbeh (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Despite the rigorous emission control measures in the ferroalloy industry, there are still emissions of dust during the production of various alloys. Dust particles were collected from laboratory scale processes where oxide ... -
Comparison of Three Real-Time Measurement Methods for Airborne Ultrafine Particles in the Silicon Alloy Industry
Kero, Ida; Jørgensen, Rikke Bramming (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The aim of this study was to compare the applicability and the correlation between three commercially available instruments capable of detection, quantification, and characterization of ultrafine airborne particulate matter ... -
Element distribution in the silicomanganese production process
Ma, Yan; Moosavi-Khoonsari, Elmira; Kero, Ida; Tranell, Gabriella (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)A pilot scale, silicomanganese alloy production campaign was performed in a 440 kVA, single phase electric furnace in order to establish an overview of the minor- and trace element contents in process input raw materials ... -
Energy Distribution in HC FeMn and SiMn - Energy vs Exergy Analyses
Larssen, Trine Asklund; Kero, Ida; Tangstad, Merete (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The metal producing industry is a high consumer of energy and large amounts of excess heat are produced. Increasing the energy efficiency would be beneficial, both in terms of the environment and also from an economical ... -
Exposure to ultrafine particles in the ferroalloy industry using a logbook method
Jørgensen, Rikke Bramming; Kero, Ida; Blom, Aleksander; Grove, Esten Eide; Svendsen, Kristin V Hirsch (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: It is difficult to assess workers’ exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP) due to the lack of personal sampling equipment available for this particle fraction. The logbook method has been proposed as a general ... -
Fume Formation from Oxidation of Liquid SiMn Alloy
Ma, Yan; Kero, Ida; Tranell, Gabriella (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Thermally generated fumes from the production of manganese ferroalloys are mostly composed of metallic oxides generated due to reaction between high-temperature molten metal and ambient oxygen in the air. In the current ... -
Gaseous reduction of Mn ores in CO-CO2 atmosphere
Larssen, Trine Asklund; Tangstad, Merete; Kero, Ida (The Minerals, Metals & Materials Series;2367-1181, Chapter, 2018)The efficiency in production of manganese ferroalloys is dependent on the gaseous reduction of the higher manganese oxides in the ores used as raw materials. The materials, descending in the furnace, will meet the furnace ... -
