Principal features and origin of podiform chromite

Podiform chromite deposits occur in peridotite and mafic complexes of alpine type, and are tabular, pencil-shaped, or irregular in form. In contrast with stratiform deposits, whose textures and structures reflect crystal settling and suggest analogies with sedimentary rocks, the textures of podiform deposits reflect extensive flowage, under magmatic conditions, …

Chromite Ore Mining and Associated Factors in the Muslim …

Chromite is an oxide mineral composed of chromium, iron, and oxygen (FeCr 2 O 4 ). Chromite is the only ore mineral of chromium (Edwards, 2012). Further, in Balochistan, Pakistan, it occurs in in a rock series called the Muslim Bagh Ophiolite (Ahmad and Abbas, 1979). The major application of chromite is in production of stainless steel.

The Raman spectrum of chromite shows three bands in the CrO stretching region at 730, 560 and 445 cm -1. The most intense peak at 730 cm -1 is identified as symmetric stretching vibrational mode, A 1g (ν 1 ) and the other two minor peaks at 560 and 445 cm -1 are assigned to F 2g (ν 4 ) and E g (ν 2 ) modes, respectively.
