Ferrochrome

The process produces a slag containing 20–24% vanadium pentoxide, which is further processed to ferrovanadium containing 40–50% vanadium. Most ferrovanadium is produced by aluminothermic reduction of such slags, which is self-sustaining, although in some operations raw materials are preheated to conserve aluminum.
