The design of the Outotec Ferrochrome Process combined with our state of the art process control systems guarantees high availability and reliability as well as a clean working environment It also features low energy consumption recycling of process gases for maximum energy recovery and closed process water circulation making it attractive
However the preferred starting material is milled high carbon ferrochrome that is leached in recycled anolyte and make up H 2 SO 4 A simplified flow sheet showing the essential steps in the process is given in Figure 3 2 The 20 mesh ferrochrome 67 percent chromium is leached at about 90 °C in roughly 3 metric ton batches without agitation
Direct reduction of chromite DRC is a promising alternative process for ferrochrome production with the potential to significantly reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional smelting In DRC chromium Cr and iron Fe from chromite ore incongruently dissolve into a molten salt which facilitates mass
A solid reduction process is described whereby chromite is reduced with the help of calcium chloride to produce ferrochrome alloy powders with high metal recovery The process involves segregation reduction of chromite using graphite as the reductant and calcium chloride as the segregation catalyst Experiments were performed in the temperature range of

Over 80% of the world s ferrochrome output is utilized in the production of stainless steel Stainless steel is dependent on chromium for its appearance and its resistance to corrosion The process produces a slag containing 20 24% vanadium pentoxide which is further processed to ferrovanadium containing 40 50% vanadium Most
The increasing costs of electric energy and thus the need to reduce the energy required to produce ferrochrome from chromite ore have spurred the innovations in the technologies used for smelting chromite ore These technologies Conventional smelting process Outokumpu process DC arc route and Premus process have been reviewed in this work

Technologies for the future in ferrochrome processing The use of methane as a reductant The ferroalloy industrial process is characteris ed by high emi ssions of ca rbon monoxide and
The dump at the ferrochrome plant Bamnipal containing valuable ferrochrome justified the construction of a metal from slag recovery plant if a suitable process could be developed This paper describes the outcome of the studies carried out at R&D Tata Steel to develop a flow sheet for this metal from slag recovery plant using
The carbon electrode in the smelting is in contact with the liquid alloy so that the ferrochrome alloy is easy to add carbon and cannot meet the quality requirements of the medium and low carbon ferrochrome alloy The process is long and the intermediate product needs to be repeatedly cast crushed finished and stored thus greatly reducing
MFC is situated in Middelburg Mpumalanga and was established in 1964 as a Low Carbon Ferrochrome production facility Charge chrome was first produced on this site in 1974 by Middelburg Steel and Alloys Pty Ltd which was acquired by Samancor in 1991 making it one of only a few alloy plants in the world able to produce both charge chrome and low carbon
Results are provided for experimental industrial tests of high carbon ferrochrome smelting with partial replacement of the basic chromium ore with chromium ore briquettes produced by OJSC Donskoi Ore Mining and Processing Plant in an amount of 20 40% of the chromium ore raw material supplied to TNC Kazchrome JSC Aksu Ferroalloys Plant
been made in the present investigation to optimize the process parameters for production of high grade Ferro chrome utilizing lean grade chromite ore having different Cr/Fe ratio[4] II DETAILS EXPERIMENTAL Figure Process flow chart for execution of investigation Based on the literature review process flow chart have been
In this process high carbon ferrochrome or high carbon ferromanganese produced by submerged arc furnace or blast furnace is used as raw material which is hot charged into the converter Industrial pure oxygen is blown into the melt to oxidize the carbon and silicon in the melt and thus generate medium/low carbon ferroalloy products
Process Description A typical ferroalloy plant is illustrated in Figure 1 A variety of furnace types including submerged electric arc furnaces exothermic metallothermic reaction furnaces and electrolytic cells HC ferrochrome Ferrochrome/silicon FeSi 90% Si Low carbon LC ferrochrome LC ferromanganese medium carbon MC

Secondly the ferrochrome smelting process is briefly described Fig The ferrochrome smelting is based on using sintered chromite pellets as the main chromite source blended with lumpy ore although a 100% pellet feed can also be used Pellets are typically produced from concentrate which results in a high chromite content in raw
The production of Ferro Chrome is a complex process that involves the reduction of chromite ore FeCr2O4 using carbon or silicon in the presence of a high temperature furnace The process begins with mining chromite ore which is then crushed and ground to produce fine particles Low Carbon Ferrochrome containing less than % carbon is
