The Technology Study of Silicon Reduction of Chromite Powder in Microwave Field

Dielectric Properties of Silicothermic Reduction Chromite in the Microwave Field

“…Because chromite resources have many problems such as small-scale mineral deposits, scattered distribution, and low grade, few of them are exploitable. − Ferrochromium alloy is indispensable in the special steel industry, which can produce high-strength steel . Currently, there are two main processes for low-carbon ferrochromium alloy making: oxygen blowing and electro-silicothermic process. Both of them require agglomerating before smelting, − and the long process flow, high energy consumption, and high carbon emission restrict the development of high-strength steel industry. ,− Therefore, it is necessary to explore a new process for smelting low-carbon ferrochromium.…”
