We studied the quality characteristics, chemical, mineral and isotope composition of nephrite, diopsidite rodingite Nyrdvomenshor nephrite deposit in Polar Urals. applied visual petrographic mineralogical studies, X-ray spectral fluorescence, ICP-MS analysis, a scanning electron microscope with dispersive microanalysis system, to measure oxygen composition. According its was substandard. Here, ...

A solid reduction process is described whereby chromite is reduced with the help of calcium chloride to produce ferrochrome alloy powders with high metal recovery. The process involves segregation reduction of chromite using graphite as the reductant and calcium chloride as the segregation catalyst. Experiments were performed in the temperature range of 1200–1400 ◦C to evaluate the influences o...

nain ophiolite melange is located 140 km east of isfahan. based on the geological studies, this area belongs to mesozoic ophiolite of urumieh – dokhtar zone, west of central iran. country rocks are pridotite and serpentinized pridotite. the pridotite rocks are composed of harzburgite, lherzolite and replacement dunite which is belong to spinel pridotite facies.paragenesis of ore minerals are ch...

based on existence of the chromite deposits in the sistan and baluchestan province in iran, and also various applications of chromite in different industries, it is expected that the establishment of chromite processing plant is required in the erelong. the geographical location of a processing plant can have a strong influence on the success of an industrial venture. the processing plant site ...

Because of the acute toxicity of Cr(VI)-bearing substances, the pollution problem caused by chromite process residue has become a worldwide concern. In the view of relevant studies, the technologies based on the alkali treatment cannot fundamentally resolve the pollution problem, because the oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(VI) is unavoidable during chromite decomposition. In contrast, the oxidation ...

Serpentinite-hosted massive magnetite ore bodies are reported for the first time in Late Cretaceous Sabzevar ophiolitic belt, northeastern Iran. They show irregular and discontinuous shapes with variable sizes ranging from 30 to 60 cm. Chromian spinel grains observed within both ores host serpentinite. Magmatic chromian spinels, (Cr,Al)-spinel I, compositions close (Mg0.6,Fe0.4)(Cr1.2,Al0.75,Fe...

recently full factorial design approach has been used to assess the recycling potential of a given waste. the objective of this study is to identify the significant factors and interactions involved in maximizing compressive strength of concrete when chromium waste is used as admixture. in this respect, experimental factors at two levels, which are admixture type (chromite/ chromite+ superplas...

The Tethyan Himalaya is the fourth metallogenic belt discovered to date within Tibetan Plateau and contains chromite, gold Sb–polymetallic mineralization. records a series of complex tectonic–magmatic events that include break-up, subduction, collision, detachment, obduction Eastern Gondwana continent, all which generated ideal conditions for ore formation. However, this area remains under-expl...

In an attempt to quantify the extent of geochemical heterogeneity within a restricted and well dated portion of the upper mantle, 27 chromite separates from the 90 My old chromite deposits in the Mayarı́–Baracoa ophiolite belt in eastern Cuba have been investigated for platinum group element (PGE) concentrations and Re–Os isotopic systematics. The samples are characterized by systematically subc...
