What is Chromite? Chromite is an oxide mineral composed of chromium, iron, and oxygen (FeCr 2 O 4).It is dark gray to black in color with a metallic to submetallic luster and a high specific gravity. It occurs in basic and ultrabasic igneous rocks and in the metamorphic and sedimentary rocks that are produced when chromite-bearing rocks are altered by heat …

consumption in the beneficiation plant is accounted for by the grinding of the ore. This implies that any improvement of the circuit performance will lead to an overall increase in productivity. The product of the existing grinding circuit at the Sukinda chromite ore beneficiation (COB) plant contains about 30–40% ultrafine particle (<45 m).
India has limited resources of chromite. To optimally exploit this valuable and strategic raw material, numerous chrome ore beneficiation plants have been established.
