WE KEEP THE LIGHTS ON

WHAT IS Did you know platinum is used to make devices called fuel cells that make and store electricity? CHROME Just one of the many ways Anglo American Platinum makes South Africa a better place to live.

• Chromium is the most abundant of the Group 6 of metallic elements (Periodic Table of the Elements), comprising chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W) and seaborgium (Sg). At a concentration of nearly 400 parts per million in the earth’s crust as various minerals, it is the 13th most common element.

• Chromium metal is extracted from chromite (chrome ore) deposits of which were created when magma (molten rock) broke through the earth’s crust. The world’s major chromite deposits are in the eastern hemisphere in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kazakhstan, India and Turkey. Significant deposits are in the Western hemisphere in Brazil and Cuba.

Did you know? Platinum is the world’s heaviest precious metal. 4 NEWS JANUARY 2017 AMANDELBULT TIMES DID YOU KNOW Chrome is a useful mineral that is used in several ways and about 80% of the world’s chrome reserves are to be found in South Africa. Here are some more interesting facts about the mineral…

Chrome is mainly used to manufacture stainless steel. Add it to carbon steel in sufficient quantities and the steel becomes “stainless” – in other words, corrosion resistant, mechanically strong, heat-resistant, hard-wearing and shiny. Stainless steel, which accounts for about 66% of the use of chrome today, is found in nuclear reactors, exhaust pipes, architecture, kitchenware and a host of other applications.

Chrome is also used in alloyed cast irons, to bestow hardness and resistance to abrasion and impact. These alloys are used for applications such as pumps, valves, pipes, rolls and wear plates.

Speciality steels produced for applications such as tools, injection moulds, camshafts, dies, bearings and mill rollers also derive the high mechanical strength, hardness and heat-resistance required from their chrome content.

EXTRACTING THE CHROME… Chrome is extracted from slurry the Atomic Chrome Recovery Plant receives from the nearby concentrators on Amandelbult Complex. Certain exceptionally demanding applications require an alloy known as chrome metal which is almost pure chrome (99%). Chrome metal provides the solidity and HOW TO RAISE COMPLAINTS AND INCIDENTS WITH resistance to wear and high temperatures required for critical applications in the aircraft, gas, petrochemical and AMANDELBULTMOGALAKWENA COMPLEXCOMPLEX nuclear sectors.

AMANDELBULT TIMES JANUARY 2017 NEWS 5 THE INSIDE WORKINGS OF THE CHROME RECOVERY PLANT The construction of the R474 million Atomatic Chrome Recovery Plant close to Anglo American Platinum’s Amandelbult concentrator complex was a result of a 2014 study that found it would be a sustainable and financially viable operation.

I am very excited and enthusiastic about this project! Many of my team members have impeccable skills, but limited plant experience. Looking forward, our strategy is to pool our skill set to achieve our goals in a positive work environment. We aim to provide major financial benefits by maximising production, not only for Anglo American Platinum, but also for the Mantserre community. Watch this space!

TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (TVET) Another option available to you is to consider vocational training. TVET colleges allow students who have not passed grade 12 to receive a vocational or occupational qualification. What this means is that you will receive education and training towards a specific range of jobs or employment possibilities.

A certificate from a TVET college may allow you to apply to a University of Technology in order to continue your studies at a higher level in the same field of study as you are studying at the TVET College.

Whatever you choose as the right option for you, know that not passing is not the end of the road, merely the beginning of a new road.
