Abstract

In the paper are shown the history, processing and applications of chromite.
Chromite is an oxide of iron and chromium with the chemical composition FeO.Cr2O3 and belonging to the spinel group.
Theoretically it contains 46.5% Cr and 25.8% Fe and their oxides.
The technology of obtaining chromite is based on the principle of gravity separation and agglomeration.
Among the applications we mentioned: - Ferrochrome; - Stainless steel; - Nickel chromium alloys; - Nonferrous alloys; - Foundry.
