1227· South African chromite ores are smelted using SiO2- and CaO-containing fluxes, normally as quartz and limestone respectively. The purpose of SiO2 is to lower the melting point of the ore, while
The SBS process is in fact well adopted, to the extent that the current authors estimate at least 80 pct of the operational HC FeCr furnaces in South Africa utilized pre-oxidized chromite pellets at the time of writing. SBS pellets therefore play an important role in mitigating energy consumption in the South African ferrochrome industry.
