...my understanding is that the ferrochrome production process requires coke as a reductant (at least is has in the past). My question is whether this input material is required in large bulk shipping amounts, in which case one would have to factor in those shipping costs from the source , or is it merely used as more of a catalyst ,(grade 12 chemistry was many years ago for me) and thus required in only smaller amounts, minimizing its importance in overall production costs. Anyone in the know?
