Uses of Chromium | Supply, Demand, Production, Resources
Chromite is used in high-temperature applications, such as blast furnaces and molds for firing bricks, because it retains strength at high temperature. Chromium is also vital for good health. Insufficient amounts result in glucose intolerance in humans. Organ meats, mushrooms, wheat germ, and broccoli are all good dietary sources of chromium.

The Reduction of Chrome in UG-2 Flotation Concentrate by
The South African platinum industry has advanced into an era of predominantly mining and processing Upper Group Two (UG-2) ore to extract Platinum Group Metals (PGMs). Flotation concentrates derived from processing UG-2 ore are typically characterized by high chrome contents (>3 wt.%) which are not amenable to …
Case Study: Chromite mining and processing
Chromium. Chromium can exist in a number of valence states, of which the trivalent (+3 or III) and hexavalent (+6 or VI) states are the most stable. Chromium (III) compounds have some commercial uses, but chromium (VI) has the widest application due to its uses as an acid, oxidant, and as a colouring agent. Canada imported approximately 74,000 ...
Small-scale mining and alluvial gold panning within the …
This requires cooperation by national governments, mining industry, NGOs and donor organisations, local communities as well as the small scale miners themselves. Small-scale mining is commonly associated with informal, unregulated, under-capitalised and under-equipped mining operations, where technical and management skills are lacking. They are

Efficient utilization of nickel rich Chromite Ore
In this process, the low-grade chromite ore (containing 34.8% Cr 2 O 3) was reduced by carbon at 1200 °C to remove the iron-oxide phases by converting into Fe 3 O 4, followed by magnetic separation. The non-magnetic product was mixed and smelted with MgO to obtain magnesia-chromite refractory bricks (Bayat and Vapur, 2005; Sahu …

KPMG commodity insights bulletin chromite
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.
