Energy-efficient mining with coarse particle flotation
Coarse Particle Flotation Reagents to Maximize Recovery while Enhancing Energy Efficiency in Mining Operations
With increasingly lower ore grades, the mining industry is looking for solutions to increase throughput and to become more energy efficient, including finding ways to reduce energy consumption in grinding. Some operations are increasing mill throughput to compensate for lower ore grades and consequently are processing coarser particles in their flotation circuits. Other operations, especially greenfield projects, are implementing coarse gangue rejection circuits which include coarse particle flotation.
With our range of collectors and frothers designed for coarse particle flotation, Clariant Mining Solutions supports both existing operations looking to float coarser particles and new circuit designs implementing coarse gangue rejection strategies.
Advanced reagents for energy-efficient coarse particle flotation
Collectors and Frothers to Optimize Recovery of Coarse Particles
Clariant's tailored collectors and frothers for coarse particle flotation deliver superior metallurgical performance in the coarser particle sizes.
HOSTAFLOT™ Collectors for Coarse Particle Flotation:
Clariant's HOSTAFLOT™ collectors for coarse particle flotation maximize coarse particle recovery, especially for particles larger than 200µm without sacrificing overall flotation performance.
When using Clariant's HOSTAFLOT™ collectors for coarse particle flotation, customers can achieve multiple operational benefits: greater energy efficiency, increased throughput, and easier tailings management.
Whether adjusting existing operations to process slightly coarser particles, or designing entirely new flotation circuits, Clariant's HOSTAFLOT™ collectors for coarse particle flotation help mining operators extract maximum value from mineral resources.
FLOTANOL™ Frothers for Coarse Particle Flotation:
FLOTANOL™ frothers for coarse particle flotation are designed specifically for the needs of new equipment for the flotation of coarse particles in new flotation circuits that include coarse gangue rejection.
FLOTANOL™ frothers for coarse particle flotation are also used to improve recovery of larger particles in beneficiation plants that are increasing the grind profile to maximize throughput.
