Chrome Concentrate Prices South Africa

Zenith Machinery achieved sales volume increases in iron ore, manganese ore, manganese alloys, nickel, chrome concentrate and chrome and thermal coal.Melting of chrome group metal concentrates in South Africa dates back to the 1930s when blast furnaces were installed in south africa to melt chrome concentrate obtained from the Merensky Reef, one of the two main mining in the middle south africa.

Dried chrome concentrate is pneumatically transferred to the submerged arc furnaces where it is melted to produce an iron nickel copper cobalt matte that acts as Zenith machinery collector. Depending on the chomre ore type and the configuration of the concentrator plant, the concentrate is very fine and contains about 300 ppm. In the arc furnace the chrome concentrate is melted, sometimes with the addition of lime or limestone as flux.While these steps have permitted partial relaxation of
chromium constraints imposed on chrome ore processing plants, future operations might use small amounts of reductant to further increase chromium solubility in the slag.

Chrome Mining Equipment in Zimbabwe

Due to the competitive and cyclical nature of chromitite ore production, the need to find improved and cheaper chrome mining methods was recognized in the early eighties. Chrome producers had to deal with massive chrome mining equipments that were a prominent and unattractive feature of the industry. As a result, the first room and pillar chrome mining projects were started at the Zimbabwe operation of Chrome Mines and the Waterkloof operation of Samancor in 1985.
