Chromium is a naturally-occurring element found in rocks, animals, plants, soil, and in volcanic dust and gases. Chromium is mined in two different ways: underground mining and surface mining. Underground mining is used to reach deeper deposits. It involves digging a tunnel into the Earth, then blasting and excavating the ore.

The Philippines leads the world in chromite resources as well. "Despite our enormous mineral resources, the contribution of the mining industry to the economy remains minuscule. As of last year, the share of the mining output to GDP (gross domestic product) was a mere .06%. It contributed only 1.2% to national tax collection, and …

Information taken from: An Overview of Chromium, Chromite and Toxicity by MiningWatch Canada, 2012. Too much Cr-III can be toxic to plants and animals. Human activities such as chromite. mining and ferrochrome manufacture can convert Cr-III into Cr-VI, which is also toxic and. is known to cause cancer.

Idiomorphic chromite is the only ore mineral appearing in economic quantities. The average content of the ore is 26% Cr 2 O 3 and the Cr/Fe ratio is 1.55. The Kemi chromium mine is an open-pit mine with a waste rock to ore ratio of 5.5:1. At Kemi, the ore from the mine contains 11% iron and 25.5% Cr 2 O 3.

The Sukinda Valley is surrounded by the Daitari and the Mahagiri hills. The study area comprises of the entire Sukinda chromite mining area consisting of 14 chromite mines of different mine owners. The study area lies between latitude 21°−21° 05′N and longitude 85° 40′–85° 53′E. Sample Collection

Here we review chromite mining in India, impact of chromite pollution on plants and the environment, and phytoremediation of Cr-polluted soils. Chromite mining activities are indispensable for production of goods and services.

Figure 2: Production of chromite in 2011. 2. Environmental Impact of Chromite Mining in Sukinda Valley Chromium exists in two stable states, i.e. hexavalent chromium (Cr+6) and trivalent chromium (Cr+3) of which (Cr+6) is the most toxic form. Trivalent chromium does not induce any harmful effect, when fed in water or food to living organisms.

Over 98% of India's chromite reserve is found in the Sukinda region of Odisha where water, air and land is highly contaminated due to chromite mining and the local Adivasis suffer its impact. Despite large funds collected in the state under the District Mineral Foundation, money is being used to build an international hockey stadium and …

South Africa (SA) holds 72–80% of the world's viable chromite ore reserves. U.S. Geological survey showed the South Africa was the biggest chromite mine producer in the year 2016 (Fig. 1) (U.S. Department of the Interior and U.S. Geological Survey, January 2017). It produced 14,000 thousand metric tonnes of chromite.

Chromite (FeO.Cr2O3) is a member of the spinel group of minerals and has the general formula R+2O. R+32O3, where R+2 stands for a bivalent metal (mainly ferrous iron and magnesium) and R+3 ...

Chromium in mine and ferrochrome wastes can be much higher than the concentrations known to harm aquatic life. At an open pit chromite mine in India, Cr-VI in mine effluents ranged from 20 ug/L to 120 ug/L and in mine seepage from 50 ug/L to 1220 ug/L. In a study testing ferrochrome slag from Turkey, 610 ug/L of Cr-VI leached from crushed slag
