Aqueous solubility of Cr(VI) compounds in ferrochrome bag filter dust and the implications thereof
(WRC, 2017)The production of ferrochrome (FeCr) is a reducing process. However, it is impossible to completely exclude oxygen from all of the high-temperature production process steps, which may lead to unintentional formation of ... -
Conductivity as an indicator of surface water quality in the proximity of ferrochrome smelters in South Africa
(WRC, 2015)South Africa is one of the leading ferrochrome (FeCr) producing countries. One of the main environmental and healthrelated issues associated with FeCr production is the possible generation of Cr(VI). However, Cr(VI) is ... -
Recycling pre-oxidized chromite fines in the oxidative sintered pellet production process
(SAIMM, 2019)The chromium (Cr) content of stainless steel originates from recycled scrap and/or ferrochrome (FeCr), which is produced mainly by the carbothermic reduction of chromite ore. The oxidative sintered pellet production process ... -
Regional atmospheric Cr(VI) pollution from the Bushveld Complex, South Africa
(Elsevier, 2016)Hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), is a proven human carcinogen. Of interest in this paper was the regional atmospheric pollution of Cr(VI) from the ferrochromium and related industries located in the western Bushveld Complex ... -
Utilisation of pre-oxidised ore in the pelletised chromite pre-reduction process
(Elsevier, 2016)Ferrochromium is a vital alloy mostly used for the production of stainless steel. It is produced from chromite ore, the only economically exploitable natural chromium resource, through carbothermic smelting in submerged ...
