1.. IntroductionChromate production from chromite ore is an important basic metallurgical process but is usually a source of severe pollution. The traditional chromate production process used in China presently consists of three procedures: roasting of chromite ore, water leaching, and multi-stage evaporation and crystallization.
The Problem with Chromite Processing Experience indicates that chrome ores are concentrated to best advantage by gravity methods. Since recoveries are generally very poor in the fine sizes, the gravity flowsheet must be designed to remove the chrome as soon as liberated by crushing and grinding. For example, if the chrome is not entirely …

The process of chromite ore mining can be divided into 2 areas: 1. Feed preparation. 2. Concentration. The feed preparation stage involves the introduction of various physical separation equipment including crushers, screens, and grinding mills. The principal function of this stage is size reduction in preparation for the concentration phase.
Stratiform, Podiform, and Beach Sands. Small amounts of chromite are found in many types of rock. However, chromite deposits that are large enough for mining are generally found in: 1) stratiform deposits (large masses of igneous rock such as norite or peridotite that slowly crystallized from subsurface magma); 2) podiform deposits (serpentines and …

is well-known for its corrosion resistance, which is mainly due to the inclusion of chromium (Cr) (ICDA, 2013). Stainless steel is mostly produced from recycled scrap and ferrochrome (FeCr), a relatively crude alloy of Cr and iron (Fe). FeCr is predominantly produced by the carbothermic reduction of chromite, a mineral belonging to the spinel group …
Oxidation treatment of chromite ores is a commercially applied process for producing mechanically strong pellets for smelting operation in submerged arc furnace. The oxidation behaviour of chromite ores which essentially determines pellet quality bears a strong relationship with ore chemistry, heat treatment, temperature and time.
In this process, chromite ores are pelletised and preheated followed by prereduction in a rotary kiln furnace. The partially reduced pellets are charged in SAF for FeCr production (Kleynhans et al. 2017). In a rival process, chromite ores are pre-oxidised to promote agglomeration of chromite fines.
A chromite occurrence called the Sabantuy paleoplacer was discovered in the Southern Pre-Ural region, at the east edge of the East-European Platform in the transitional zone to the Ural Foredeep. A ca. 1 m-thick chromite-bearing horizon is traced at a depth of 0.7–1.5 m from the earth's surface for the area of ca. 15,000 m 2.
In countries where chromite is mined, it may constitute a primary source of airborne Cr (Guertin, 2004). In most mining areas, the endpoint production of Cr is probably the most significant source of Cr in the air. The geological process causes Cr in the air to be associated with suspended particulate matter.
The choice of mining method for extracting ore from the earth's surface depends on various factors related to the ore itself. These factors include whether the ore is stratiform or podiform, its grade (whether high or low), and its depth below the surface.Most chromium ore is found abundantly in stratiform deposits within layered intrusions, with notable …
