Chromite Beneficiation Foundry Grade

Chromite sand has the ability to draw heat from the molten metal, allowing the metal to skin over faster and minimizing burn-on. Excessive burn-on will need to be removed before heat treating, but it can also lead to other issues, causing castings to be scrapped. Foundry-grade chromite sand consists of 46% chromic oxide and 1.0% silica.

The chrome-rich wastewater stream is fed through a stacker cyclone, producing chemical grade chrome. The other waste stream goes through further classification, producing foundry or chemical-grade sand. The second sump line is a process using the same equipment, but with slightly different cut points which produces chemical-grade chrome.
