Enhance flotation efficiency with Molycop’s modifier chemicals

Molycop offers a comprehensive range of modifier chemicals designed to enhance the efficiency of mineral flotation processes. These modifiers play a crucial role in influencing how collectors interact with mineral surfaces, effectively altering the hydrophobicity of the minerals to improve separation during flotation. 

By modifying the surface properties of specific minerals, Molycop's chemicals, including NaSH replacement, depressants, dispersants and sulfidizing chemicals, ensure that collectors can better attach to the desired particles, leading to improved recovery rates, selectivity and overall flotation performance.

Modifier chemicals may either increase the adsorption of collectors onto a given mineral (activators) or prevent collectors from adsorbing onto a mineral (depressants). It is important to note that just because a reagent is a depressant for one mineral/collector combination, it does not necessarily follow that it is a depressant for other combinations.

Fosterville Gold Mine: Successful Deployment of Milling Optimisation Technology

Agnico Eagle Fosterville Gold Mine (Fosterville) operates a gold plant in Australia comprising of a crushing and grinding circuit (SAG mill with a closed loop cyclone classification circuit) followed by flotation, bacterial oxidation and leaching circuits. The lack of surge capacity between the grinding and flotation circuit and restrictions on crushing operations due to noise constraints resulted in unique set of challenges, that required the implementation of a novel control solution using advanced instrumentation.
