Abstract:
In this study, the reducing smelting of chromite concentrates by EAF-assisted metallothermic method was investigated. The effect of AlPowder and AlDross addition amount, time, and the ratio of flux addition on the produced metal and slag compositions and metal recovery were investigated. It was seen that ferrochrome can be produced from fine-grained chromite concentrate by this method. As a result of EAF-assisted semi-pilot metallothermic smelting, the highest chromium content in produced alloys was 59.5 wt. %, while the highest chromium recovery from chromite concentrate to alloys was 76.7 wt. % in these experiments.

Fates of Pyruvate
In aerobic organisms, pyruvate is metabolized via the citric acid cycle to produce reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2. These coenzymes are then oxidized in the electron transport chain to produce ATP and, in the process, regenerate the NAD+ and FAD. As seen in some cell types and organisms, fermentation...
