Extraction of Metallic Chrome from Chemically Enriched Chrome Concentrate
The problem of producing metallic chrome by aluminothermics was investigated it this article. It was used as the source of the basic element of chrome concentrated product obtained by chemical processing. In order to increase the chromium recovery and slag fluidity thermite supplement as sodium nitrate was applied in that technology. The obtained results suggest the possibility of CCP usage, produced by processing of ferrous powder, in metallic chrome production. The scheme of installation for alloys smelting by the aluminothermic method was described as well.
