Can you recover chromium from stainless steel?

We're already recycling pretty much all the steel we can, so yes, but it's already factored into the global steel supply chain.
Yes, through electrochemical means. It's not super energy efficient though, it'd be much better to not put it into steel in the first place if you want to make batteries out of it.
