Ferrochrome slag (FCS) is a by-product of ferrochrome industries and is produced during the extraction of ferrochrome from chromite ore. The chemical composition of FCS comprises of 27–33% SiO 2, 15–25% Al 2 O 3, 20–35% MgO, and 10–15% iron-chromium compounds.The high chromium content of FCS and the possibility of its …

Most ores also contain some other non-ore minerals (e.g., hematite) and some other sulphide minerals, especially pyrite (FeS 2). When ore is first processed (typically close to the mine) it is crushed to gravel-sized chunks and then ground to a fine powder and the ore minerals are physically separated from the rest of the rock to make a ...
