Авторы собрали данные о производстве хромовых ферросплавов в 15 странах. Описана структура 20 крупнейших компаний по производству феррохрома в Китае, Африке и Европе. В статье представлены данные по проектам запуска новых производств феррохрома в странах по всему миру. Проведен анализ производственных показателей (состав феррохрома, стоимость, потребление электроэнергии) получения высокоуглеродистого ферро­хрома в зависимости от содержания Cr2O3 и Cr2O3/FeO в сырье. Рассмотрены технологии производства феррохрома с учётом большой доли сырья мелкой фракции. Статья описывает меры по снижению потребления электроэнергии и кокса. Авторы изучили преимущества и недостатки печей переменного и постоянного тока, плазменных печей и микроволнового нагрева, а также используемые восстановители, при этом большое внимание сегодня уделяется использованию «биоугля». Представлена информация об исследованиях, связанных с сокращением выбросов CO2 при производстве FeCr. Рассмотрены объемы производства и потребления ферросплавов в России с описанием структуры выпускаемых хромовых ферросплавов по типам (высоко-, средне- и низкоуглеродис­тый феррохром, металлический хром, азотированный хром и феррохром, хромовые лигатуры). В 2017 – 2022 гг. объём производства хромовых ферросплавов в России составлял в среднем 420 тыс. т в год (без учёта лигатур и хрома металлического). Представлены основные предприятия, специализирующиеся на производстве хромовых ферросплавов в России, с указанием их производительности. В России объём потребления феррохрома составляет всего 10 – 30 % от производимого, поэтому его внутренний рынок пребывает в состоянии перепроизводства и ориентирован на экспортные поставки. За последние годы объём производства феррохрома в России резко сократился. Авторы описывают причины резкого сокращения экспорта и производства феррохрома в России.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>In 2023, 16,174 thousand tons of FeCr were produced worldwide, and in 2024 – 18,509 thousand tons. The authors collected the data on the production of chromium ferroalloys in 15 countries. The structure of the 20 largest ferrochrome (FeCr) manufacturing companies in China, Africa and Europe is given. The paper describes the projects for the launch of new FeCr production facilities in countries around the world. The production parameters (FeCr composition, cost, electricity consumption) of obtaining high carbon FeCr depending on the content of Cr2O3 and Cr2O3/FeO in the raw materials were analyzed. FeCr production technologies are considered, taking into account a large proportion of fine fraction raw materials. The paper presents the measures to reduce the consumption of electricity and coke. The advantages and disadvantages of alternating current and direct current furnaces, plasma furnaces, and microwave heating are considered, as well as the used reducing agents, and much attention is paid to the use of “biochar” today. Information on the studies related to the reduction of CO2 emissions from the production of FeCr is provided. The volume of production and consumption of chromuim ferroalloys in the Russian Federation is considered with description of the structure of manufactured chromium ferroalloys by type (high-, medium- and low-carbon FeCr, metallic chromium, nitrided chromium and ferrochrome, chromium ligatures). In 2017 – 2022, the volume of production of chromium ferroalloys in Russia averaged 420 thousand tons per year (excluding ligatures and metallic chromium). The main enterprises specializing in the production of chromium ferroalloys in Russia are presented, indicating their productivity. In Russia, FeCr consumption is only 10 – 30 % of produced, so the domestic ferrochrome market is in a state of overproduction and is export-oriented. In recent years, the volume of FeCr production in the Russian Federation sharply decreased. The authors describe the reasons for the sharp decrease in FeCr export and production in Russia.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>феррохром</kwd><kwd>хромовые ферросплавы</kwd><kwd>хром металлический</kwd><kwd>производство по странам мира</kwd><kwd>производство в России</kwd><kwd>технология производства</kwd><kwd>новые разработки и исследования</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>ferrochrome</kwd><kwd>chromium ferroalloys</kwd><kwd>metallic chromium</kwd><kwd>worldwide production</kwd><kwd>production in Russia</kwd><kwd>production technology</kwd><kwd>new developments and research</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Марукович Е.И., Ильюшенко В.М., Пумпур В.А., Андриенко В.М., Дувалов П.Ю.
