PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM CONTAINED IN A RESIDUE FROM CHROME ORE DRESSING PROCESS

摘要

The present invention concerns a new process and the relative plant for reducing hexavalent chromium contained in the resultant earth after the production of chromium, in order to obtain the transformation from water-soluble compounds into insoluble compounds, the process comprising the phases of mixing the said residual products with one or more reducing agents and of indirectly heating the said mixture substantially without the presence of oxygen.
