Safe management and disposal of chromite ore processing residue (COPR) is an unsolved global problem. In spite of several global research efforts, the problem of safe management of COPR and redemption of dump sites has remained unsolved. There is a high risk for all living beings in and around the COPR dump sites due to prevailing …
There are proven and well established widely accepted techniques for concentration of chromite ores such as spiral concentration, jigs and shaking tables. However, these techniques become inefficient and complex when treating fine and ultrafine size particles (less than 75μm) resulting in this size fraction lost to the tailings. As a …
The most widely used beneficiation techniques are flotation, direct carbonation, electrostatic up-gradation, calcination, and leaching/bioleaching. Bioleaching has environmental benefits and electrostatic up-gradation can achieve the highest quartz removal efficiency, although this is an energy-intensive process.
