Abstract Manganese-rich slag is a raw material for smelting silicon–manganese alloys using an electric furnace. The blast furnace method is the main method for smelting manganese-rich slag. This method has the problems of a long process, large coke consumption, and easy volatilization of metals such as lead and zinc, which affects smelting safety. A new technology for smelting manganese-rich slag with low-manganese high-iron ore by smelting reduction optimization was proposed. This technology has the advantages of a short process, low energy consumption, low carbon emissions, and comprehensive recycling of lead, zinc, and other metals. According to the chemical composition, X-ray diffraction analysis, and particle size analysis of Cote d’Ivoire low-manganese ore, an experiment was carried out on manganese-rich slag by reduction– smelting separation. Combined with the design scheme of the Box–Behnken principle, three experimental factors (temperature, basicity, and carbon content) were selected as the influences to study. The influence that each factor has on the recovery rate of manganese was studied by response surface methodology, and the experimental factors were optimized. The results show that under the conditions of a reduction-smelting temperature of 1402 °C, basicity of R = 0.10, and carbon content of 10 mass%, the recovery rate of manganese is 97%. A verification experiment was carried out under the optimal conditions, and the error was only 1.24%; this proves that the response surface method prediction model is reliable and accurate. This is of great significance for the comprehensive utilization of lean-manganese ore resources.
