The investigation main motivation is to combine the growing chromium demand for specific applications with the reuse of a low value Cr-Fe-carbon alloy. Thus, it has been studied the possibility of recovering chromium, in the oxide form, from fines generated in the production of Fe-Cr High Carbon. Initially, the effect of relevant variables (temperature, ratio of reactants) on the alloy roasting with Na and Mg hydroxides, were studied. Then, the chromate solubilization followed by the chromium oxide precipitation have been carried out. The materials involved in the work have characterized by chemical analysis, DRX and MEV/EDS. The qualitative results indicated that the method can be applied but further experiments has to be carried out to optimize the process.
