Chromite Ore - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Chromium metal is obtained commercially by heating chromite ore in the presence of carbon, aluminum, or silicon, and subsequent purification (ATSDR, 2000). Sodium chromate and dichromate are produced by roasting chromite ore with soda ash and are the primary chromium salts from which most other chromium compounds are derived (ATSDR, 2000).
