Establishment of Ferroalloy Production Facility - A Feasibility Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nature has blessed Pakistan with abundant reserves of various ores/minerals. Among these; ores of Chromium, Manganese and Silicon like; Chromite, Manganite, Hausmannite, Braunite and Quartz are phenomenal in metallurgical perspective particularly for ferroalloys production, metals extraction and steel making industry. Unfortunately, Pakistan has been unable to realize the potential associated with these natural assets and therefore adequate mining, ore-beneficiation and value-additive measures are still missing. This paper briefly describes the locations, size and concentration of aforementioned ore/minerals in the country, local and international market trends, potential associated with value-addition of these raw materials and emphasizes the crucial and strategic need for the establishment of a ferroalloy production facility in the country.
