  • It may be urged that it does not seem necessary to effect the desulphurization by means of the reaction of the manganese and iron sulphide outside of the blast furnace, as it is possible, by suitably directing the blast furnace, by the employment of manganiferous ores or highly basic slag, so to desulphurize the iron in the blast furnace itself that it would be unnecessary further to lower the percentage of sulphur. —  Scientific American Supplement, No. 829, November 21, 1891
  • Suppose that we have a sample of steel or manganiferous cast-iron containing less than 7 per cent of manganese. —  Scientific American Supplement, No. 401, September 8, 1883

  • The manganese and manganiferous iron ores of the Cuyuna district of Minnesota, the largest source of low-grade ores in this country, were formed by the action of weathering processes on sedimentary beds of manganese and iron carbonates constituting "iron formations." —  The Economic Aspect of Geology
  • Of ferromanganese and other very manganiferous substances, in which the manganese need not be determined with greater exactness than to 0.1 per cent., only 0.01 gram. is taken for a test; but of common pig, wrought iron, steel, iron ore, slags, etc., there is taken 0.5 to 1 gramme according to the supposed content of manganese and the desired exactness of the estimation. —  Scientific American Supplement, No. 324, March 18, 1882
