Economic feasibility of a pre-oxidative process to enhance solid-state chromite reduction

Kleynhans, Ernst Lodewyk Johannes (North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)

Chromite ore mining is the only commercially viable source of new chromium (Cr) units. South Africa (RSA) holds the majority, approximately 75%, of the world’s exploitable chromite ore resources. The vast majority of mined ...
Low-smoke fuel production via low temperature pyrolysis of lump coal

Kühn, Mathys Johannes (North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)

Coal is used on a large scale in the Kwadela Township, Mpumalanga, South Africa with the means to fulfil the basic energy requirements of low-income households. Energy within the coal is utilised via combustion thereof in ...
Techno-economic feasibility of a preoxidation process to enhance prereduction of chromite

Kleynhans, E.L.J.; Beukes, J.P.; Van Zyl, P.G.; Fick, J.I.J. (SAIMM, 2017)

Ferrochrome (FeCr) is vital for the production of stainless and high-alloy ferritic steels, since it is the only source of new Cr units. FeCr production is an energy-intensive process. The pelletized chromite prereduction ...
