Mining Plant Testing Services | Arkema Specialty Surfactants

Many variables need to be considered in designing an optimum reagent plant test. Mining plant reagent testing is difficult, hazardous, and time-consuming. Testing a standard reagent against a new reagent to determine which froth flotation reagent is best under mining plant conditions can be cumbersome, time-consuming, and yield mixed results if not properly designed.

Testing programs need to evaluate the stability of the mining plant conditions. The requirements to test each reagent must be established, and pre-testing should be conducted to set the best dose range and reagent control conditions for the standard and the test reagent. At the same time, care must be taken to evaluate reagents under similar plant and ore conditions for a valid comparison. Arkema can design and run mining plant tests efficiently and statistically to help determine which collector will deliver the best grade and recovery.
