Chrome Ore Mining


Production Line

Using surface and underground methods, chrome mining typically requires subsequent processing at chrome ore processing plants to extract the valuable material. So the mainly used chrome ore concentrating equipments are ore washbox (sometimes it is called jigger), concentrating table, spiral classifiers, etc.

Process Description

Introduction: Using surface and underground methods, chrome mining typically requires subsequent processing at chrome ore processing plants to extract the valuable material. So the mainly used chrome ore concentrating equipments are ore washbox (sometimes it is called jigger), concentrating table, spiral classifiers, etc.

Application: The chrome ore mining production line works for all chrome ore types—magmatic, placer, weathered, low or high-grade. It handles 100k–1M tons yearly, upgrades low-grade ore, reclaims other metals, and keeps energy low, recovery high (70%–90%), and meets environmental rules.

  • Processing Technology

  • For chrome processing technology, there are gravity separation, flotation, magnetic separation and other methods. Shunzhi will determine the final processing technology according to the ore characteristic analysis report and mineral processing experiment report.

  • Gravity Separation

  • The common gravity separation flows is that: through crushing and grinding, the reasonable fineness of chrome ores are cleaned and classified by the spiral classifier with the help of the different specific gravity of the solid particles and the different precipitation speeds in the liquid.Then use a jig machine and a shaker to wash the materials and transport them to the spiral chute to sort fine-grained mineral powder.

  • Flotation or Magnetic Separation

  • After screening, the slurry is sent to flotation cell or magnetic separator. The concentrates are dewatered after flotation.

  • Dewatering

  • After dewatering, the concentrates can be sent to the dryer. The dry concentrates can be directly used or re-grinding to pick up minerals.

Processing Flow

  • Mining: Chrome ore is mostly mined by open-pit method, and some deeply buried ones are mined by underground method.

  • Crushing and Screening: After crushing chrome ore by jaw crushers, classify ore of different particle sizes with vibrating screens and remove waste rock.

  • Ore Washing (Optional): If the ore has high slime content, remove slime with ore washers to improve chrome ore grade.

  • Gravity Separation: Utilize the density difference between chromite and gangue to enrich chromite by gravity separation equipment such as jigs and spiral chutes to obtain chrome rough concentrate.

  • Magnetic Separation (Cleaning): Chromite is magnetic, remove non-magnetic gangue by magnetic separators to further purify chrome concentrate.

  • Thickening and Dewatering: Concentrate and dewater chrome concentrate to obtain chrome concentrate filter cake.

  • Drying and Transportation: Dry the filter cake and transport the chrome concentrate to smelters for chromium extraction; some lump ore can be directly used as metallurgical raw materials.
