Chromite sand properties and applications overviews
Chromite sand is a naturally occurring mineral composed primarily of chromium oxide (Cr₂O₃) and iron oxide (FeO). It is derived from the mineral chromite, which is part of the spinel group. Chromite sand is widely used in industrial applications due to its unique properties, including high thermal conductivity, high melting point, and resistance to thermal shock and chemical corrosion.
