The invention discloses a novel process for producing 
manganese sulfate by combination of a pyrogenic process and a wet process. The novel process comprises the steps: (1), 
roasting with 
anthracite culm to obtain roasted 
manganese powder; (2), mixing the roasted 
manganese powder with a secondary solution and / or water for pulping, adding 
sulfuric acid, adding iron 
pyrite, performing a 
thermal reaction, filtering to obtain primary 
slag and a primary liquid; (3), pulping the primary 
slag by using water and / or third solution, adding 
sulfuric acid, adding iron 
pyrite, performing a 
thermal reaction, filtering to obtain secondary 
slag and a secondary liquid, rinsing and filtering the secondary slag to obtain third slag and a third liquid, discharging the third slag; and (4), removing iron from the primary liquid, removing 
heavy metals, standing, heating and concentrating and crystallizing, 
dewatering and 
drying to obtain the manganese 
sulfate. The novel process has the beneficial effects that (1), the content of full manganese in the manganese slag reaches below 4 percent, the content of tetravalent manganese slag reaches below 0.6 percent, the 
metal recovery rate reaches above 82 percent, and the mine consumption cost is low; and (2), the main content of a manganese 
sulfate product reaches above 98.5 percent, the content of a 
water insoluble is within 0.02 percent, the content of impurities is within 0.3 percent, and the content of heavy 
metal elements is within 6 ppm.
