Information @ a Glance

  • Commercial chromite deposits are found mainly in two forms: stratiform
    seams(body/layer) in basin-like intrusions, often multiple seams through
    repeated igneous injections, and the more irregular podiform or lenticular
    deposits.
  • During mining operations to raise marketable ore (+38% Cr2O3) to the tune of 4 million tonnes and more p.a., sufficient quantities of sub-grade ores (10-35% Cr2O3) are also being excavated from these mines
  • The processing of chromite ore is associated with the generation of large quantities of solid wastes containing chromium, which have been disposed of as landfill for many years. The mobilization and operational speciation of chromium contained in soils contaminated with metal salts are important in terms of the environment. Several methods have been employed for the extraction and recovery of solid wastes.
  • Application of selective flocculation using starch to separate chromite from serpentine has been investigated. It was determined that starch has a specific affinity towards chromite which can be exploited in selective flocculation. However, it was found that this could only be achieved when the amount of serpentine in the chromite-serpentine mixture is below 30% by weight and in the presence of a dispersant such as sodium silicate or ultrasonic treatment of the pulp.
  • Chromite mining in India started around 1903 there was no ferro-chrome production in the country till 1968. Hence most of the chromite ore was exported. India exported about 3.84 million tonnes between 1903 to 1980. The current production rate of chromite ore in the country is between 0.7 to 0.9 million tonnes per annum. In 1986, India attained a production of 90,000 tonnes of FeCr/charge chrome. Prior to implementation of the OMCAL, and FACOR units, the production of FeCr was only about 20,000 TPA. The situation has changed dramatically due to the commencement of production in the export oriented units.
  • Ferro Chrome demand is directly related to the production of Stainless Steel, since more than80% of the Ferro chrome is consumed in Stainless Steel production
