Influence of Chromite Ore Selection on the Pelletized Oxidative

The smelting of chromite to produce ferrochrome (FeCr) and subsequently, stainless steel, is an energy-intensive carbothermic process. Various countries apply the Outotec FeCr process, which employs oxidative sintering in air to produce mechanically strong chromite pellets. During this process, iron (Fe) is liberated from the chromite spinel due to the elevated …

Efficient reduction of Cr(VI) and recovery of Fe from chromite ore

Chromite ore processing residue (COPR) is a by-product generated after the leaching of sodium chromate by roasting chromite ore at 1200 °C. However, the residual 1130–8500 mg/kg of highly toxic Cr(VI) in COPR poses a severe threat to the ecosystems ( Du and Chrysochoou, 2018, Xia et al., 2020, Molinari et al., 2021, Guleria et al., 2022 ).
