Silica affected the reduction at and above 1400 °C. A two-stage reduction mechanism was established. The first stage, up to a reduction level of about 40 pct, is primarily confined …
As an example, SiO 2 was employed as a flux in a number of investigations, [31,32,34,35,37,38] to lower the ore mixture smelting point and promote a combination of solid-and liquid-state pre ...
The release of phosphorus could potentially influence plant–weathering interactions in the soil, complicating the analysis of the weathering process. In our present study, we applied dunite to agricultural soils to quantify the impact on inorganic carbon and dissolved silica fluxes in the presence and absence of crop plants.

A solid reduction process is described whereby chromite is reduced with the help of calcium chloride to produce ferrochrome alloy powders with high metal recovery. The process involves segregation reduction of chromite using graphite as the reductant and calcium chloride as the segregation catalyst.
Experimental studies on the smelting reduction of fluxed carbon–chromite composite pellets in Fe–Cr–C–Si alloys were carried out at 1520–1600°C. The reduction reaction was found to be favoured by high temperatures, a high lime addition in the pellets, a long pellet dissolution time, and a moderate melt Cr content.

World high carbon ferrochrome production, charge chrome and HCFeCr, was 6.0 million tonnes in 2005. The production increased by 2.8 per cent from the year 2004. Almost all ferrochrome is produced in submerged electric arc furnaces. The raw material in the production of ferrochrome is chromite, which is chrome and iron oxides containing mineral.
Silica affected the reduction at and above 1400 °C. A two-stage reduction mechanism was established. The first stage, up to a reduction level of about 40 pct, is primarily confined to iron metallization, and zoning is observed in partially reduced chromites.

The conventional process for producing high carbon ferrochromium by smelting chromite ore in a submerged arc furnace is reviewed and its limitations highlighted with regard to (a) product quality through impurity removal, and (b) high power consumption for a given raw materials supply.
Fluxes are generally required to modify the slag-forming components in the chromite ore into a slag with the appropriate compositional characteristics for the targeted process metallurgy, melting temperature, and suitable tapping properties.
