Chrome beneficiation has been at the core of driving South Africa’s ferroalloy industry in the last ~ 40 years. Various technical, economic, environmental and social issues have seen an industry transform over decades. Interaction between industrial partners (mines, ferrochrome producers, and engineering houses), research institutions and science councils has always been key to drive South Africa forward.
Following a successful School in Manganese Ferroalloy Production held at Mintek in 2016 and in preparation for Infacon XV (to be held in South Africa in 2018), a colloquium on Chrome is being organised.
