Chromite: Mineral information, data and localities.

Chromite is the most important chromium ore mineral. It forms a complete solid solution series with many other members of the group, eg. in the Chromite-Hercynite Series, Chromite-Spinel Series, Chromite-Magnetite Series and the Chromite-Magnesiochromite Series.It is the iron analogue of Zincochromite, Cochromite, Manganochromite and Magnesiochromite and the Cr analogue of Hercynite Get price

COPPER Copper production

Smelting these materials would require too much energy and very large furnace capacities. The copper ore coming from the mine (0.5 – 1 % Cu) must be concentrated by beneficiation. The valuable minerals like chalcopyrite are intergrown with gangue. Therefore, in the first step the lumpy ore is crushed and milled into fine particles Get price

Smelting

Smelting is a process of applying heat to ore in order to extract a base metal.It is a form of extractive metallurgy.It is used to extract many metals from their ores, including silver, iron, copper, and other base metals.Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gases or slag and leaving the metal base behind.

Chrome Ores on Ferrochrome Smelting

Chrome ores are selected from the following mining locations, which are located along the Bushveld Igneous Complex: • Elandsdrift • Millsell • Mooinooi • Tweefontein Lannex • Steelpoort UG2 concentrate from a PGM mine in Rustenburg is also selected. Each mine produces 3 grades of chrome ore, namely lumps, chips, and concentrates. Get price

Blast furnace

Blast furnaces produce pig iron from iron ore by the reducing action of carbon (supplied as coke) at a high temperature in the presence of a fluxing agent such as limestone.Ironmaking blast furnaces consist of several zones: a crucible-shaped hearth at the bottom of the furnace; an intermediate zone called a bosh between the hearth and the stack; a vertical shaft (the stack) that extends from Get price

CiteSeerX — EFFECT OF CHROME ORE QUALITY ON

CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): Cost analysis of chrome ore reduction is one of the important issues facing ferrochrome producers in today's competitive environment. Much of this depends on quality and various ratios in the actual ore. The latter can have a direct bearing on electricity consumption and optimum efficiency of the furnaces. Get price

The effect of this has been seen as a reduction in chrome in concentrate, and an associated increase in PGM recovery. However, increased throughput at the UG2 plant has actually resulted in a larger quantity of chromite being processed at the smelter.

Chromium and its negative effects on the environment

Nov 14, 2016Chromium is mined in different countries around the world (such as South Africa, Zimbabwe, Finland, India, Kazakihstan and the Philippines) as the naturally occurring form, chromate ore (FeCr 2 O 4).Chromium is unstable in an oxygenated environment and, when exposed to air, immediately produces an oxide layer which is impermeable to further oxygen contamination.
