Abstract:

Calcium⁃free oxidative roasting of chromite ore and water leaching is the mainstream process of chromium salt production,but there is still a certain amount of residual chromite ore and some newly generated chromium⁃containing minerals in the chromite ore processing residue(COPR).Research on the eco⁃friendly process of deep extraction of chromium from the COPR will be very important to the comprehensive utilization of resources.An eco⁃friendly extraction process of chromium salt from the COPR was proposed.The research results showed that the chromium could be extracted by an eco⁃friendly alkali roasting⁃water quenching process,and this new process could not only reduce the roasting reaction temperature,but also eliminate CO2 produced in traditional roasting process.The extraction rate of chromium reached more than 92%,and the Cr(Ⅵ) in the leached chromium slag was reduced to 3.85 mg/L.The kinetics of the oxidative roasting of chromium was controlled by internal diffusion with a frequency factor A of 0.39 s-1 and an apparent activation energy of the reaction Ea of 15.22 kJ/mol.The obtained results could provide new technical ideas for deep extraction of chromium from COPR using an eco⁃friendly process.
