Chromite - Wikipedia Chromite is a crystalline mineral composed primarily of iron (II) oxide and chromium (III) oxide compounds It can be represented by the chemical formula of Fe Cr 2 O 4 It is an oxide mineral belonging to the spinel group
Chromite: Mineral information, data and localities. True chromite is common as inclusions in diamonds from kimberlites (South Africa and Yakutia) Members of the spinel group may be enriched Cr and V in marbles (Slyudyanka), massive sulphide ores (Outokumpu) and also in some types of meteorites
Chromite | Ores, Mining, Processing | Britannica Chromite, relatively hard, metallic, black oxide mineral of chromium and iron (FeCr2O4) that is the chief commercial source of chromium It is the principal member of the spinel series of chromium oxides; the other naturally occurring member is magnesiochromite, oxide of magnesium and chromium
Chromite Mineral Data Named after its chemical composition Comments: Chromite veins in yellow to green antigorite with picrolite, chromian antigorite and dolomite (polished section) Location: Wood's Mine, near 'Texas', Little Britain Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA Scale: See Photo
Chromite - Rock Identifier Chromite is a dark gray to black colored mineral that is an important ore for chromium, a metal used to produce stainless steel, ovens, and chrome plating It is also used as a paint pigment, used for the yellow paint for school buses and highway lines
What is chromite (chrome) ore and where is it found Chromite is the only ore from which chromium can be extracted Chromium is an essential element for a wide variety of alloys, chemicals, and therefore manufactured products
Chromite - Details and Facts Chromite is a mineral that is widely used in the metallurgical industry due to its high melting point, resistance to corrosion, and ability to resist wear and tear It is a dark, brownish-black, opaque mineral that is typically found in ultramafic rocks such as serpentinite
Chromite | Chromium Ore, Properties, Uses and Occurrence Chromite is dark brown to black in color and can contain some magnesium and aluminum Chromite is most commonly found as an accessory mineral in iron- and magnesium-rich igneous rocks or concentrated in sediments derived from them
Chromite - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Chromite is an oxide mineral belonging to the spinel group, a complex mineral containing magnesium, iron, aluminum, and Cr in varying proportions, depending on the deposit, that can be represented as FeCr 2 O 4 or (Fe 2+,Mg) [Cr,Al,Fe 3+] 2 O 4 (Murthy et al , 2011; Sanchez-Segado et al , 2015)
