Phase and Microstructure of Chromite: a Different Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chromite ores are basically classified on basis of Cr2O3 content and Cr to Fe ratio in a sample. The higher content of Cr increases the value of the ore but this is greatly affected by the presence of impurities in form of silicates, oxides or hydroxides. The present study was performed to analyze the impurities of chromite ore collected from Prangghar (Mohmand agency), Pakistan. From x-ray diffractormeter analysis a single phase (magnesiochromite-ferroan, ICDD card # 09-0353) was identified. SEM/EDX analysis along with metallurgical microscopy images were in partial agreement with XRD, as some impurity phases were also identified. In spite of these impurities, mostly silicates, the ore was best suited for metallurgical industry due to its high Cr content.

متن کاملMessengers from the deep: Fossil wadsleyite-chromite microstructures from the Mantle Transition Zone
Investigations of the Mantle Transition Zone (MTZ; 410-660 km deep) by deformation experiments and geophysical methods suggest that the MTZ has distinct rheological properties, but their exact cause is still unclear due to the lack of natural samples. Here we present the first direct evidence for crystal-plastic deformation by dislocation creep in the MTZ using a chromitite from the Luobusa per...

The present study was undertaken to improve the quality and increase the life time of magnesia-chromite refractory bricks used in the copper and lead industries. The results show that a decrease in the amount of large chromite particles in the formulation improves the thermomechanical properties and also reduces the slag penetration in the bricks. In addition it was also observed that the use o...
