Good find. The claims are the important section. My understanding is:

In patent terms the key claim will be the first. All other claims flow from this. If patent authorities accept it without 'prosecution' then the patent will be interpreted more widely. If patent authorities, question claims, and 'prosecute' the application, then claims may be narrowed.

Claim 1. A process for producing chromium iron alloys suitable for steel making directly from chromite ore, comprising; agglomerating fines of chromite ore with additions of carbon fines, an accelerant and a binder, and drying the agglomerates; and feeding the agglomerates into a reaction vessel with natural gas as a reducing agent at elevated temperatures adequate for reduction for thereby producing a chromium iron alloy suitable for steel making.

KWG may not get all their claims. #15 is an interesting one.

15. The process of claim 1 , wherein the chromite ore is from the ROF.

I'm not sure I understand KWG's intent of this claim.
