Chemi Tech Flotation Dispersants for Mineral Processing: Efficient Solutions for Separation Challenges

In mineral flotation processes, particle aggregation and slime coating in ore slurry often lead to poor selective separation, reduced recovery rates, and lower concentrate grades. Traditional dispersants face limitations in adaptability and stability, impacting overall production efficiency.

To address these challenges, Chemi Tech has developed high-performance flotation dispersants that enhance particle dispersion and optimize mineral-bubble attachment, significantly improving selectivity and recovery. Our solution leverages surface chemical modification technology, implemented through the following steps:

1. Slurry Property Analysis: Laboratory testing determines pH, particle size, and composition to tailor dispersant formulas.

2. Customized Formulation: Dispersants are matched to ore types (e.g., silicates, oxides, or sulfides) to synergize with collectors and frothers.

3. Dosing Control: Precise addition points and dosage prevent over-mixing or reagent waste, maintaining slurry stability.

4. Process Monitoring: Real-time observation of froth behavior and tailings indicators allows dynamic adjustment for optimal separation.

Case Study: An iron ore processing plant struggled with high silica content in hematite-quartz intergrowth due to ineffective dispersion. After adopting Chemi Tech’s KMK-218 dispersant, slurry dispersion increased by 40%, flotation recovery rose by 12%, and final concentrate grade reached 67.5% iron with impurities reduced to target levels.

Chemi Tech dispersants feature hard water tolerance and broad pH adaptability, suitable for complex ores. We provide end-to-end technical support to help clients achieve cost-effective operations.
