Ferro-Alloy Industry in India-A Symposium

Abstract

THE National Metallurgical Laboratory will be holding a Symposium on "Ferro-Alloy Industry in India" in February, 1962. The scope of the Symposium will broadly cover the following : I. Survey of raw materials in terms of metallurgical quality and reserves for the production of different types and grades of ferro-alloys in India including auxiliary requirements such as fluxes, fuels, electric power, transport, etc. 2. Beneficiation of raw materials for the indigenous ferro-alloy industry based on physical, chemical and thermal beneficiation techniques and ore-dressing cycles—formul-ation of optimum flow-sheets and assessment of recovery yields and economic data. 3. Evaluation of electro-thermal, alumino-thermic, pyro-metallurgical techniques and other specific processes and developments in the production of different types and grades of ferro-alloys in relation to the possibilities of their application in India in the context of indigenous resources.
