Become a Chrome Concentrate Supplier in South Africa with Oreways Mining

Oreways Mining is a global leader in the ferrochrome industry, specializing in procuring chrome concentrate for international smelters. Our commitment to facilitating access to international markets for miners ensures a consistent supply of high-quality ferrochrome, sourced from reliable and responsible suppliers.

The Importance of High-Quality Chrome Concentrate

The quality of chrome concentrate is paramount for the efficient operation and longevity of our partners smelters. We seek chrome concentrate with a minimum chrome oxide (Cr2O3) concentration of 40-42%, as this grade optimizes the smelting process, reduces energy consumption, and minimizes wear and tear on our equipment.

Specific Chrome Concentrate Requirements

In addition to the chrome oxide content, we have specific requirements for other elements present in the concentrate:

• SiO2 (Silica): Ideally below 5%, as high silica levels can increase slag formation and negatively impact furnace efficiency.
• FeO (Iron Oxide): A moderate level (12-18%) is desirable, as it contributes to the smelting process and enhances ferrochrome quality.
• Al2O3 (Alumina): Low levels (below 10%) are preferred, as high alumina can lead to operational challenges and affect product quality.
• MgO (Magnesium Oxide): A moderate level (2-4%) is desirable, as it can improve slag fluidity and aid in the removal of impurities.
• Other Impurities: We seek to minimize the presence of harmful impurities such as sulfur, phosphorus, and titanium, as they can negatively impact ferrochrome quality.
