Need to wake up Hoov for this one! Looks like the feds are still working behind the scenes on our chromite. Wondering if this is part of the NG direct reduction process? Tick tock for those who are still hanging in there!

============================================
Building on the findings of the scale-up studies carried out during 2017-18, the objectives of this project are to determine optimum feed characteristics for direct reduction of chromite (DRC) process in a rotary kiln furnace and rotating hearth furnace, and to further assess heat transfer limitations on the efficiency and kinetics of reduction reactions in large furnace conditions.
The outcomes of this project will include:
(1) knowledge needed for further assessing the potential applicability of the flux-aided DRC process at industrial scales; and
(2) serving the broader needs of NRCan’s Chromite R&D initiative in identifying innovative and clean technology options for producing marketable ferrochrome alloys from the Ring of Fire chromite ores.
