South Africa continues to supply the majority of chrome ore to meet global stainless steel demand. It is expected that the demand for stainless steel will see South Africa is the world’s biggest producer of chromite ore today, and the mineral is used mainly to produce stainless steel.

Mining of Iron Ore and Chrome in South Africa. South Africa was the world’s sixth largest producer of iron ore and largest producer of chrome ore in 2019. In recent months local More recently, Pariser et al. (2018) reported that South Africa accounted for 60% of the global chrome ore (i.e., chromite) output in 2018 . Nevertheless, the growth in the FeCr industry is paralleled by chromite mining. In 2012, South Africa had a combined annual FeCr production capacity of more than five million tons [15,18].Minerals Free Full-Text An Overview of Currently Applied

Chromite mining activities are indispensable for production of goods and services. Sukinda is a major mining site of Odisha, India, polluted by chromium, which is highly toxic in its hexavalent form. The Sukinda valley is a rich source of chromites, amounting to almost 95% of Cr available in India, and is the fourth most polluted site Transparency issues, whether involving mining rights or illicit chrome exports, are among the reasons that South Africa has fallen to 60th out of 77 in 2020, from 40th out of 76 in 2019, on theSouth Africa’s chrome sector, like its coal counterpart, is

In the Kemi mine in Finland the largest chromite ore body is 670 m long and 95 m in thickness and there are several smaller ore bodies along a strike length of 5 km. Chromitite layers in the Bushveld Complex of South Africa have an outcrop length in excess of 300 km with a thickness varying from a few cm to 2.5 m (Fig. 15 A).Chromite (FeCr 2 O 4) is a mineral belonging to the spinel group of minerals characterized by the following formula [(Mg,Fe 2+)(Al,Cr,Fe 3+) 2 O 4] (Haggerty, 1991). The largest exploitable deposits of chromite occur in South Africa and Zimbabwe, with significant deposits in several other countries such as Finland, Kazakhstan and Turkey.Review of Cr(VI) environmental practices in the chromite mining

Chrome Mining in South Africa. Chrome is mined in South Africa from the Bushveld Igneous Complex, a semi-circular formation located to the north of the Gauteng province, which is rich in platinum group metals (PGMs). The Bushveld Complex is made up of three PGM reefs, the Upper Group 2 Reef (UG2), the Platreef, and the Merensky Reef.Good N, de Wit MJ (1997) The Thabazimbi-Murchison Lineament of the Kaapvaal Craton, South Africa: 2700 Ma of episodic deformation.

South Africa’s ferrochrome industry has taken its first steps towards independent power generation, with plans to generate up to 750 MW of its own electricity (comprising wind, solar and cogenerated power) by 2024, Mining Weekly can report. The industry adds significant value to chrome ore by elevating it to ferrochrome, which it sells This development is the main reason for the expansion of the chromite mining industry in South Africa, the high-iron stratiform deposits being amenable to such treatment [10]. Research has been carried out on extraction from laterite deposits and plasma smelting is being developed to allow the use of fines.
