Flotation reagents are chemicals used in the flotation process to effectively separate minerals from gangue. They play a key role in the mining, oil and gas extraction and processing industries by increasing the recovery of minerals from ore.

Flotation is based on differences in the physical and chemical properties of minerals. Reagents are added to the pulp (a mixture of water and crushed ore), where they interact with the surface of the minerals, changing their wettability. This allows valuable components to float to the surface in the resulting foam, leaving the heavy rock at the bottom.

Flotation reagents are classified into several types:

1. Collectors (gatherers) - ensure that minerals adhere to air bubbles.
2. Depressants - reduce the wettability of certain minerals, preventing them from floating.
3. Activators - improve the interaction of collectors with minerals.
4. Stabilizers - promote the stability of air bubbles in the pulp.

Our company specializes in supplying thickening reagents, which are widely used in various industries for dehydration of products and water purification. Thickening is used in mineral enrichment, hydrometallurgical, chemical and other industries to increase the sedimentation rate of solid particles and improve the purity of the clarified layer.

We offer two main types of reagents:

1. Flocculants are water-soluble high-molecular compounds that are adsorbed on the surface of dispersed phase particles, combining them into large agglomerates (floccules) and facilitating rapid sedimentation.
2. Coagulants are substances that cause coagulation, thickening and adhesion of harmful particles and impurities in a liquid.

Under the influence of our reagents, solid impurities and insoluble compounds become heavier, stick together and precipitate, which allows us to effectively purify water and separate the solid and liquid phases.

One of the key products in our range is MEGAFLOCK® TD manufactured by Technosibeco LLC (Kemerovo). This is a highly effective polyacrylamide flocculant with a high molecular weight, supplied as a granulated white powder in 25 kg plastic bags. MEGAFLOCK® TD is used in the mining and chemical, coal, oil-producing industries, ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, for water purification in domestic water supply, as well as in the pulp and paper, textile and construction industries.

Our reagents help customers:

• Increase the efficiency of production processes

By contacting us, you will receive high-quality thickening reagents that will help optimize your production processes and increase the efficiency of your enterprise.

Foaming agents are special chemical compounds designed to create stable foam in the processes of separation and extraction of useful components from ores, oil and other materials. Their main purpose is to promote the formation of air bubbles with certain properties in the pulp volume and the formation of a stable foam layer of the required structure on the pulp surface.

Frothers work by reducing the surface tension of a liquid, causing gas bubbles to form. These bubbles form a foam that effectively separates the various components of a mixture. For example, in the flotation process, frothers help extract valuable minerals from ore by creating a foam to which particles of the target material adhere, rising to the surface and separating from the rest of the mass.

There are several types of foaming agents:

1. Anionic: have a high foaming capacity and are used for fast and effective foaming.
2. Cationic: have a softer effect on materials and are used when foam stability is important.
3. Non-ionic: have universal properties and can be used in a wide range of conditions.
4. Combination: contain combinations of different chemical groups to achieve maximum efficiency under specific conditions.

One example of foaming agents is the Flotek reagents developed by Vector Holding Company for flotation of non-ferrous metal ores, coals and coal sludge. They are highly effective in flotation of monometallic and polymetallic sulphide ores, as well as oxidised, weakly metamorphosed coals and anthracites, especially in a hard environment.

Characteristics of "Flotek":

• Appearance: homogeneous liquid, from colorless to yellow
• Specific gravity: 0.87-0.93 g/cm3
• Boiling point: 140-360 °C
• Freezing point: -20 °C
• Packaging: plastic barrels in metal braiding with a capacity of 1100 l

When selecting foaming agents, it is important to conduct a detailed analysis of the enterprise's technological processes, taking into account the ore composition, flotation conditions and requirements for the final product. The correct selection and implementation of foaming agents with professional support ensure maximum efficiency and safety of production processes.

Wastewater from mining and processing plants and factories contains various pollutants, including chemical compounds, heavy metals, solid particles and organic substances. The main pollutants are organic and inorganic flotation reagents, as well as the products of their interaction with ore components. Complex organic compounds are used in flotation, and petroleum products are used in coal enrichment. During the process of mineral dissolution, ions of various heavy metals enter the water.

Low quality of circulating and process water negatively affects the extraction of metals from ores, reduces foaming, increases the consumption of flotation reagents and intensifies the processes of salt deposition and corrosion in equipment. For effective purification of industrial and waste water, coagulation and flocculation methods are used, as well as inhibitors of salt deposition and corrosion.

Our company offers a specialized line of cationic and anionic flocculants Minex® and HC Vector, as well as a selection of optimal inhibitors from the Astoprex® line to prevent salt deposits and corrosion in pipelines and mining and processing plant equipment. This allows you to reduce equipment replacement costs and reduce the time for emergency repairs.

We provide a complete set of dosing and control equipment, and also install reagent feed points without stopping production. Reagents are supplied in plastic barrels with a capacity of 1100 l, placed in a metal braid for safe transportation and storage.

We offer a wide range of highly effective reagents for these processes:

• Collectors and frothers for flotation
• Flocculants and coagulants for thickening
• Rheology modifiers for pulp viscosity optimization

Our products include DP-OMC®, Magnafloc®, Flotimine®, Megafloc® and Minex® brands from leading manufacturers such as BASF, UTS and HC Vector.

We provide a full range of services:

1. Laboratory selection of reagents
2. Pilot testing at your facility
3. Development and implementation of technological regulations

Our laboratory is equipped with modern equipment, including a high pilot thickener (3 meters), which allows us to simulate paste thickening processes and optimize flocculant consumption. We have experience working with thickeners with a diameter of up to 88 meters, which helps prevent the loss of valuable components and minimize water loss.

Taking into account the specifics of your production, we develop individual solutions that best meet your needs.
