Abstract

The article is about the problem of beneficiation of finely dispersed chromium slurry tailings of “Donskoy Mining and Beneficiation Plant” JSC by chemical and gravitation methods. Chemical destruction of chromium spinelids by sulphation with a mixture of ammonium sulphate and sulphuric acid enables to transfer a part of magnesium oxide to a water-soluble state and further gravitation beneficiation on concentration tables to obtain a fine-grained rich chromium concentrate. Silica, calcium, and iron oxide additives are used to produce pellets from the fine chrome concentrate, serving as binding agents and enabling the production of hard chrome pellets during roasting. In the future, roasted pellets will be used in the smelting of high-carbon ferrochrome in electric furnaces.
