Chromite ((ce{FeCr2O4})) is the most commercially useful ore, and is extensively used for extraction of chromium. Chromium is produced in two forms: Ferrochrome by the reduction of chromite with coke in an electric arc furnace. A low-carbon ferrochrome can be produced by using ferrosilicon instead of coke as the reductant.
