The enrichment of these ores produces a considerable amount of fine-sized Chromite Ore Processing Tailings (COPT). The COPT generated during enrichment of Indian chromite ores, predominantly contains iron (>25% Fe T ) and significantly lower amount of chromium (<16%), due to the nature of the ore deposit (Rao et al., 1987).
A process mineralogical study based on three texturally and mineralogically different chromite-bearing ore types at the Nkomati nickel mine was undertaken, with focus on chromite.

However, this process is only applicable to high-grade chromite ores with silica content less than 1%. Furthermore, chromium recovery from South African chromite ore for the lime-free roasting process is only 85%, and it drops significantly when ores from other origins are used ( Tathavadkar et al., 2001 ).
Chromium ores are also subdivided according to their physical state (strong, friable, pulverized, and silicified) and the chromites' grain size (coarse 7 to 15 mm, medium 1 to 7, and fine < 1 mm).So-called strong ores occupy ~80% of all chromite ores, friable ores occupy ~10%, and pulverized and silicified ores occupy 5% each (Lyakishev and Gasik, 1998).
The head sample of the low-grade middle band ores contains 40% chromite in the form of 40-50% liberated. This means that half of the particles are half-locked. In the northern band ores, 32% chromite by weight is in the particles that are 70-80% liberated. This means that a significant amount will be liberated at a minimum grinding time.
Chrome ore chemical beneficiation One of the purposes of chemical beneficiation is to increase the Cr/Fe ratio of the chromite concentrate produced by the physical methods, and the other purpose is to treat certain chromium ores that cannot be treated by physical methods or that are uneconomical by physical methods..

The primary use of chromite ore is towards the production of ferrochrome alloys. Chromite ores with higher than 40% Cr 2 O 3 and the chromium-to-iron ratio (Cr-to-Fe ratio) higher than 1.8 are considered suitable for the smelting process [2], [8], [9], [10]. However, for high-quality ferrochrome production, better quality raw material is ...
Ferrochrome (FeCr) is the main source of chromium (Cr) units used in modern-day chromium (Cr) containing alloys. The vast majority of produced Cr is used during the production of stainless steel, which owes its corrosion resistance mainly to the presence of Cr. In turn, stainless steel is mainly produced from Cr-containing scrap metal and FeCr, which is a …

it is designed for smelting fine chromite ores. The convectional smelting process is designed to handle only lumpy ores which are ideal for ferrochromium production as the fine ores tend to form a sintered layer at the top of the charge, preventing gas escape and thus causing operating difficulties (Buchanan, 2001).
