Characterisation of South African Chromite Middle …
3.3. Mineralogical analysis The mineralogical analysis in the ore showed that the occurrence of chromite phases in the ore is very similar in all Middle group seam layers as indicated in Figure 3. The six end-member compositions that combine to form chromite are hercynite (FeAl 2 O 4), spinel (MgAl 2 O 4), Fe-chromite (FeCr 2 O 4
