DescriptionThis report summarizes the characteristics of chromite ore processing residue (COPR) in terms of their chemical compositions and phases and results from the melting study to convert to iron with chromium or steel. The COPR from three hazardous waste sites in Jersey City, New Jersey, were analyzed using non-destructive instruments including scanning electron microscopes (SEM), x-ray diffraction spectrometers (XRD), and x-ray fluorescence spectrometers (XRF). The physical and chemical characterization of environmentally weathered COPR will fundamentally benefit both remediation and beneficial use of chromium contaminated soils. This knowledge will enable rapid development of efficient technology for treatment of environmentally weathered COPR, i. e., smelting reduction of iron oxide to produce iron with chromium.
NotePurpose: To summarize the characteristics of chromite ore processing residue (COPR)
