Description
This is a proposal to investigate further the results of the phase I project. In phase one our method of purifying chromium to reduce O, N, C, S, H was successful with one of the two methods. In this phase we will continue improving successful process and investigate a new method. In phase one we were able to reduce the oxygen from 4,200 ppm to 1,100 ppm. And we have not explored at least 2 variables. Our goal is to produce a high purity chromium in which O+N+S+C+H is less than 100 ppm. Our process is not conventional. The conventional process reacts the oxygen in chromium with carbon under about 1400 °C under good vacuum. We do not use vacuum and our temperature is lower.
