• The Effect of Pre-Oxidation on the Reducibility of Chromite Using Hydrogen: A Preliminary Study 

      Davies, Jamey; Tangstad, Merete; Ringdalen, Eli; Beukes, Johan Paul; Bessarabov, Dmitri; du Preez, Stephanus Petrus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The majority of ferrochrome (FeCr) is produced through the carbothermic reduction of chromite ore. In recent years, FeCr producers have been pressured to curve carbon emissions, necessitating the exploration of alternative ...
    • The use of hydrogen as a potential reductant in the chromite smelting industry 

      Davies, Jamey; Paktunc, Dogan; Ramos-Hernandez, José Juan; Tangstad, Merete; Ringdalen, Eli; Beukes, Johan P.; Bessarabov, Dmitri G.; Du Preez, Stephanus P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The chromium (Cr) content of stainless steel originates from recycled scrap and/or ferrochrome (FeCr), which is mainly produced by the carbothermic reduction of chromite ore. Ever-increasing pressure on FeCr producers to ...
