Mining Flocculants

Flocculants are used in the mining industry to treat the water used in the mineral extraction and flotation processes. They help aggregate fine suspended particles to form larger flocs so that the solids can more easily be separated from the water.

Mining flocculants are used to clean flotation process water to reduce reagent consumption and improve recovery. They are also employed to treat discharge water to help meet stringent environmental standards.
