Custo pH® Modifiers
Mineral conditioning and pH control can greatly affect froth flotation performance during mineral processing. Most mineral beneficiation processes require some type of pH adjustment to impart ideal separation conditions. As mineral feed quality continues to decrease, more sophisticated pH® modifiers are required to achieve optimum flotation performance.
Custo pH® modifiers increase the efficiency of the froth flotation process by facilitating optimum zeta potential and creating ideal conditions for collector function and mineral separation. They provide better pH control, sequester soluble divalent ions which decrease collector efficiency, and reduce the negative impact of water quality on reagent consumption. Our pH® modifiers selectively inhibit the interaction of gangue minerals with the flotation collector while promoting collector deposition on the desired mineral surface.
By precisely formulating our Custo pH® modifiers for your process you can achieve better pH control and more efficient migration of mineral-laden bubbles into the froth collection zone for higher mineral grade and recovery.
