Abstract: A process for the manufacture of injection molded articles out of material that is capable of being processed in an injection molding process comprising injection fluid material into a hollow space of a mold of a desired form, hardening or reacting the injected material at raised temperatures and subsequently separating the molded article from the mold at the same high tempeature by the aid of inert gas and/or air, pressed between the molded article and the mold, which is regulated by a self readjusting conical valve.

Abstract: In the disintegration of a chromite or chromium-containing residue, wherein the chromium-containing material is disintegrated with an alkaline compound in the presence of oxygen and a diluent at a temperature above about 800.degree. C. and thereafter leached, the improvement which comprises pre-roasting the chromium-containing material prior to addition of the alkaline compound. Pre-roasting can be effected at 400.degree. to 1200.degree. C. with addition of certain amounts of silica dioxide and/or aluminum oxide and such additives, depending on the chromium containing material, if still required, are added--prior to disintegration and leaching--in such a quantity to establish a ratio of SiO.sub.2 : AL.sub.2 O.sub.3 of about 2:1 and further a ratio, calculated on the basis of NaOH as the alkaline compound, of SiO.sub.2 : Na.sub.2 O of about 1:0.5 plus a Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3 : Na.sub.2 O ratio of about 1:2 to 1:4.
