How is high-carbon ferrochromium separated from slag after smelting?

During the smelting process of high-carbon ferrochromium, both the slag and the molten metal are tapped from the furnace into a ladle. Once in the ladle, the two substances are separated through the processes of decanting or skimming.1

While this method effectively separates the bulk of the material, some chromium may remain within the slag. In such cases, the remaining metallic chromium can often be recovered using mineral processing techniques.1
