Abstract:

Chromite is the main raw material source for the production of chromium salts.The acid leaching technology from chromite ore has become a worldwide concern due to its no Cr(Ⅵ) pollution and high resource utilization.The research pro-gress of the acid leaching technology from chromite ore and its separation method of chromium-iron in recent years were summarized.The acid leaching technology from chromite ore is mainly leaching with sulfuric acid as the strong acid,and the auxiliary method such as mechanical activation,oxidizer and microwave heating could make the chromite ore be leached efficiently and rapidly.The separation methods of chromium-iron from leaching solution including goethite method,jarosite process,extraction method,oxalic acid precipitate method,ferric ferrocyanide method and diammonium ferrous sulfate method etc..The combination of various strengthening methods and reaction processes has become an important research direction of chromite sulfuric acid leaching process.

Key words: chromite ore, acid leaching, microwave, mechanical activation, separation of chromium-iron
