With the rapid increasing stainless steel output in recent years

the demand for ferrochromium and metallic nickel continuously increased at home. The resource  situation of ferrochromium mineral and nickel mineral in china and production process for carbon ferrochrome and nickel are analyzed

based on the scarcity status of domestic chromite and nickel ore

it is proposed that besides using overseas chromite resource

it is available to develop new process

exploit domestic  chromite  resource

fully utilize  cheap  chromite  sand

and  enhance  comprehensive utilization  research;  and use  new process to utilize nickel sulfde ore without or with minor noble-metal

and exploit laterite ore assuring supply of nickel resource.
