As they implement the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM), many mining operations are investing in tailings filtration and dry stacking to reduce storage risks. Also, reprocessing of tailings to recover valuable minerals from tailings while reducing overall tailings volume is becoming increasingly common.
Clariant’s filter aids for tailings filtration help operators achieve key performance indicators such as optimal filtration rate and reduced cake moisture. Our flotation solutions enable the recovery of valuable minerals and the removal of minerals of concern from tailings.
Innovative filter aids for tailings filtration to optimize filtration efficiency and dry stacking
Improving Filtration Rates and Reducing Cake Moisture for Effective Dry Stacking
As mining operations worldwide seek to store their tailings in alignment with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM), tailings filtration and dry stacking are becoming increasingly common.
Clariant Mining Solutions offers innovative filter aids specifically designed to optimize the filtration of tailings, including both coarser tailings and slimes.
Filter Aids for Tailings Filtration
FLOTICOR™ FA filter aids:
FLOTICOR™ FA filter aids improve mining tailings filtration, increasing filtration plant productivity while reducing cake moisture content.
Clariant’s FLOTICOR™ FA filter aids improve filtration rates (up to 100% increase), potentially reducing capital expenditure requirements and facility footprint.
FLOTICOR™ FA filter aids enable efficient co-disposal of slimes with coarse tailings, allowing for blending of up to 4% of slimes into coarse tailings, allowing mining operations to reduce or eliminate tailings dams for the storage of slimes.
Flotation to maximize mineral recovery from mining tailings
Collectors and Frothers to Recover Valuable Minerals from Tailings
Clariant Mining Solutions develops customized flotation reagents to recover minerals including zinc, titanium, copper, phosphate, iron, and platinum group metals (PGMs) from tailings, enabling reprocessing of slimes, fresh tailings and old tailings.
Our reagents for flotation of tailings are customized for each unique challenge, allowing mining companies to increase mineral recovery, reduce tailings volume, and mitigate environmental risks in alignment with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM).
