2025414· Consumption Africa''s Consumption of Bentonite After three years of growth, consumption of bentonite decreased by -9.6% to 557K tons in 2024. The total consumption volume increased at an average annual rate of +3.7% over the period from 2013 to 2024; however, the trend pattern indicated some noticeable fluctuations being recorded in certain …
101· To further enhance the growth and profitability of the South African chromite and FeCr industry, as well as other international producers mining/consuming lower-grade chromite, possible improvement of chromite ore by selectively removing Fe from chromite concentrates need to be investigated to increase the Cr/Fe ratio.

1227· South African chromite ores are smelted using SiO2- and CaO-containing fluxes, normally as quartz and limestone respectively. The purpose of SiO2 is to lower the melting point of the ore, while
Chrome Chromite is an oxide mineral composed of chromium, iron and oxygen, dark gray to black with high specific gravity. Commercial chromite deposits large enough for mining are generally found in stratiform and podiform deposits. Chromite ore is mined in over 20 countries, but about 80% originates in 4 countries: South Africa, India, Kazakhstan and Turkey. Chromite, being …
SYNOPSIS The physical properties of oxidative sintered pellets produced from typical South African UG2 ore are compared with the physical properties of pellets produced with conventional South African metallurgical-grade chromite ore (from the Lower Group 6 or the Middle Group 1 and 2 seams). A statistical evaluation of the cured (sintered) compressive strengths proved …
11· Mining of chromite deposits is being carried out both by open-pit and underground mining. Early mining of chromite was on a small-scale and was relatively straightforward from outcrops or to shallow depths followed by hand sorting.
Chromite fines (defined as particles smaller than 6 mm) account for a significant fraction of mined South African chromite ore. These fines are pelletized to allow safe furnace smelting conditions.

The SBS process is in fact well adopted, to the extent that the current authors estimate at least 80 pct of the operational HC FeCr furnaces in South Africa utilized pre-oxidized chromite pellets at the time of writing. SBS pellets therefore play an important role in mitigating energy consumption in the South African ferrochrome industry.
