Question: The following data was supplied for a ferro - chromium production of a certain plant. Reduction of chrome oxide in the ore is 9 0

The following data was supplied for a ferro-chromium production of a certain plant.
Reduction of chrome oxide in the ore is 90%
Reduction of iron oxide in the ore is 95%
Carbon content in the alloy is 7%
Silicon content in the alloy is 1.5%
The composition of the chrome ore is as follows; 54%Cr2O3; 15.6%FeO;13.6%MgO;10%Al2O3;4.5%SiO2
If the chrome ore portion of the charge is 575Kg : -
i. Calculate the weight of the alloy produced
[15]
ii. The amount coke required considering that the fixed amount of carbon in the charge exceeds the stoichiometric amount by 25%
Use the following equations in your calculations.
Cr2O3+3C2Cr+3CO
FeO+CFe+CO
SiO2+2CSi+2CO
