CustAmine^® Cationic Froth Flotation Reagent Collectors for Mining and Mineral Processing

CustAmine® froth flotation reagent collectors are developed to maximize the grade and recovery of industrial minerals during mining and mineral processing. They are custom-tailored for each customer’s unique ore and froth flotation process, and are primarily used in the primary, secondary or reverse beneficiation of silica, silicates and carbonate / oxide minerals.

CustAmine® reagent collectors are cationic – they include a polar component that selectively attaches to mineral surfaces, and a non-polar component that projects out into the solution making the surface hydrophobic. They can either chemically bond to the mineral surface with high selectivity (chemisorption) or be held on the surface by physical forces (physical absorption). Arkema employs a wide range of technologies for cationic froth flotation reagent collector formulation that enables us to provide the best collector performance available during mineral processing.
