Chromite, Fe 2+ Cr 2 O 4, is the principal ore mineral of chromium in magmatic ore deposits and it can have a wide range of compositional variation because of multiple cationic substitutions that involve e.g. Ti, Mn, Mg, Al, Fe, Zn.However, substitution of Fe 3+ for Cr 3+ can occur to a larger extent which gives rise to iron-rich chromite …

Chromite is the most important chromium ore mineral. It forms a complete solid solution series with many other members of the group, eg. in the Chromite-Hercynite Series, Chromite-Spinel Series, Chromite-Magnetite Series and the Chromite-Magnesiochromite Series.It is the iron analogue of Zincochromite, Cochromite, Manganochromite and …

Introduction Chromite is a member of the spinel group and is the only economically important ore mineral of chromium. It is used extensively by the metallurgical industry as feedstock for ferroalloy production [1–4].

The average grade of the metallurgical chromite ore was 43.4 pct Cr2O3, with 52 pct of the ore having a chromium-to-iron ratio of 3:1 or over, 17.6 pct having a ratio between 2:1 and 3:1, and 30.4 pct having a ratio less than 2:1. Chemical-grade chromite ore generally ranged from 40 to 46 pct Cr2O3 with a chromium-to-iron ratio of 1.5:1 to 2:1.
