How chromite is extracted from its ore? Extraction. Chromite (FeCr2O4) is the most commercially useful ore, and is extensively used for extraction of chromium. This is obtained by aerial oxidation of chromite in molten alkali to give sodium chromate, Na2CrO4, which is leached out with water, precipitated and then reduced to the Cr (III) oxide by carbon.

To extract chromium from chromite ore, start by roasting chromite with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH) in the presence of oxygen at high temperatures. During roasting of chromite ore with NaOH/KOH in the presence of oxygen, chromium is oxidised from Cr3 + to Cr6 + and reacts with alkali to form chromate compounds.

Extraction Chromite (FeCr2O4 FeCr 2 O 4) is the most commercially useful ore, and is extensively used for extraction of chromium. Chromium is produced in two forms: Ferrochrome by the reduction of chromite with coke in an electric arc furnace. A low-carbon ferrochrome can be produced by using ferrosilicon instead of coke as the reductant.
