Mining

Mining is essential to the modern world, and we are committed to supporting the mining industry with our expertise and specialized products.

MINING WASTEWATER CHEMICAL

Mining activities naturally collect a substantial amount of rainwater, which must be discharged to the environment in accordance with strict government regulations. Our products can help you efficiently meet these requirements.

Applications:

  • High TSS and/or highly acidic wastewater treatment in mining sites
  • Wastewater with high silicate content
  • Cost saving improvements in wastewater treatment (compared to conventional methods)
  • Improving settling rate of suspended solids
  • Maximizing space usage for a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)

MATERIAL TRANSPORT & HANDLING

From your mine to your stockpile and port, you may encounter a variety of challenges, including dusting, road condition problems, and spontaneous combustion. We have specific solutions for each of these common issues.

Applications:

  • Dusty mine haul roads, both input and output
  • All-weather mine roads with deformations
  • Stockpile, port and barging applications

DRILLING CHEMICALS

Drilling is essential to modern mining operations, including exploration drilling. When drilling, we must flush out the cut materials in the form of slurry, which must be treated so it can be circulated back to remove fresh drill cuttings. Our drilling chemicals are the best choice for your various mining drilling activities.

Applications:

  • Mine Exploration Drilling
  • Tunneling using a TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine)

HEAVY EQUIPMENT

Heavy equipment, such as dump trucks, excavators, and dozers, are constantly in use, so they need the best possible care. This includes cleaning them after use and protecting them from corrosion and scaling. Our products can help you extend the life of your heavy equipment.

Applications:

  • Mine Owners & Contractors with heavy equipment
  • Mine Contractors with heavy equipment
  • Construction companies with drilling, digging, tunneling heavy equipment

DOMESTIC WATER TREATMENT

Mine sites produce waste from more than just pits and disposal areas. Office and living quarters also generate waste that needs to be treated. We offer solutions for your domestic waste treatment needs, including equipment, chemicals, and consumables..

Applications:

  • Living Quarters, Mess, and Offices Wastewater Treatment
  • Washing Residue from Canteen and Kitchens

Mineral Processing

Sustainable mineral resources are essential to the modern industrial world. We provides a wide range of high-quality reagents to support various mineral processing operations, helping to ensure that these vital resources are used responsibly.

FLOCCULANT & DEWATERING AIDS

Thickening and filtration are common solid-liquid separation processes in mineral processing facilities. The main objective of thickening is to achieve a low solid content in the overflow and a high solid content in the underflow, depending on the process. The main objective of filtration is to achieve the lowest possible moisture content. Our dewatering aid can help you achieve maximum solid-liquid separation efficiency.

Applications:

  • Merril Crowe CCD Thickeners
  • Detoxification Process Thickeners
  • Neutralization Plant Thickeners
  • Pre/Post Leaching Thickeners

ANTISCALANT & GRINDING AID

Scaling caused by mineral deposition is a common problem in the mineral processing industry, especially at high pH or temperature. Our scale crystal inhibition or dispersion product can prevent these scales from depositing on your piping or furnace jacket surfaces. We also developed our proprietary grinding aid product using the same dispersion method to enhance mill throughput efficiency.

Applications:

  • Gold Mineral Heap Leaching Process
  • Copper/Nickel Mineral Heap Leaching Process
  • Cooling Water for Ferronickel Electric Furnaces
  • SAG Mill/Ball Mill for various Mineral Processing

RED MUD FLOCCULANT & BAYER PROCESS CHEMICALS

Converting bauxite to alumina in the Bayer process takes place in a highly alkaline environment. This extreme pH requires specialized chemistry to function properly. Our Bayer process chemistry is formulated to optimize your alumina refinery operations, whether you need faster red mud settling in the washer process, higher solid content in classifying thickener underflow, or protection for your digester from corrosion during acid cleaning.

MINERAL FLOTATION REAGENT

Mineral flotation is a process used to concentrate specific minerals in a concentrator plant. We offer a variety of mineral flotation reagents that can help you achieve maximum mineral separation efficiency by modifying mineral surface properties and conditioning the froth.

Applications:

  • Copper, Zinc, Lead, and various mineral floatation
  • Pyrite depressant for flotation cell
  • Coal flotation process

HEAVY METAL REMOVAL & TAILING DETOXIFICATION

Every mineral process produces waste, such as tailings slurry or spent liquor. This waste often contains impurities like heavy metals and other toxins that must be treated before being released into the environment. Our chemical reagents can help you properly treat your tailings.

Applications:

  • Spent liquor from heap leaching process
  • Tailing treatment from agitated leaching process
  • Tailings treatment from mineral flotation process

SOLVENT EXTRACTION LEACHING AID 

Minerals are extracted from ores by dissolving them in a solution. This process, called leaching, can be done in different ways, such as by agitating the ore in a tank, stacking the ore on a heap and pouring the solution over it, or using bacteria to break down the ore. Solvent extraction is then used to purify the solution and concentrate the mineral. Finally, the mineral is electroplated onto a cathode to produce high-quality metal.

Applications:

  • Nickel & Copper Solvent-Extraction
  • Various mineral electrowinning processes
  • Agitated leaching for various minerals
