Chromite ore is usually a combination of spinels with associated minerals such as calcite, magnetite, talc, serpentines and uvarovite. Chromites crystals exhibit an octahedral structure similar to magnetite. The Cr 3+ ions are in the octahedral position with oxygen. The chromium rich phase is antiferromagnetic.

This process has been operated at Chiba Steelworks, Kawasaki Steel Corporation (currently JFE Steel Corporation) since 1994. In this steelworks, stainless steel is produced by smelting reduction process of chromium ore with hot metal produced at a BF in a specialized converter-type furnace. Stainless steel dust containing Cr and Ni is …

Chromite. Chromite is the commercial name of iron chromium oxide (FeCr2O4), a mineral comprised of chromium and iron oxide that is naturally found in the earth's mantle. When extracted, it is referred to as chrome ore. Chromite is crucial for the production of ferrochrome, an alloying agent in manufacturing stainless steel.

Relatively deep deposits, or those with elongated or irregular shapes are typically mined from underground with deep vertical shafts, declines (sloped tunnels) and levels (horizontal tunnels) (Figures 8.2.1 and 8.2.2). In this way it is possible to focus the mining on the orebody itself. In some cases, the near-surface part of an orebody is ...
