The study of aluminothermic reduction in manganese compounds is a complex challenge in preparing Al-Mn alloys. The primary objective of this study was to ascertain the activation energy values for the aluminothermic reduction of MnO and Mn[sub.3]O[sub.4] oxides derived from alkaline batteries. The s...
