摘要
The low-grade siliceous chromite ore from Ghutrigaon, Odisha, India, containing ~ 16% Cr2O3, with Cr/Fe ratio of 1.97 and ~ 55% of SiO2, does not find any use in metallurgical industry and hence considered as waste. Mineralogical investigation indicates the presence of chromite and quartz as major minerals with minor fuchsite and kaolinite. The beneficiation studies reveal that the product can be enriched to a Cr/Fe ratio of 3.35 and 3.02 by gravity concentration (wet shaking table) and wet high intensity magnetic separation, respectively. Tiny Cr-grains within quartz and fine silica dusts within chromite inhibit liberation of chromite resulting in poor response to physical beneficiation. As an alternative, processing of ore through pyro-metallurgical route was evaluated. Chromite fines mixed with carbon and lime in the form of pellets/granules was charged to a plasma reactor. In about ten minutes, the metal globules/prills were separated from the slag in 1:6 ratio. The metal, examined through XRD and optical microscope, was found to be ferrochrome alloy. In situ EDAX analysis indicated the metal to have 61.51% Cr, 26.52% Fe and 13.1% C with minor silica (2.42%), and the slag was composed of Ca2Al2SiO7 which revealed that both metal and slag so obtained could suitably be used in different industries.
