Nalco Water Mineral Processing Aids

This dispersant is an aqueous formulation of low molecular weight specially designed to be an effective dispersant and antiscalant in mineral processing applications where high lime circuits are operated. The dispersant functions by lowering the viscosity of mineral slurries. It can also modify crystal formation and thereby alter the nature and rate of scale deposition.

  • Improves slurry rheology.
  • Cleans minerals surfaces leading to improved recovery of valuable minerals.
  • Reduces the rate of scale deposition where scaling problems are prevalent.
  • Prevents slime coating on valuable minerals.
  • Non-foaming properties.
  • Stable at high temperatures.

The Filtermax dewatering aids are principally used to aid in the filtration of mineral concentrates in order to reduce filter cake moisture and improve filter cake handling characteristics. They function by lowering the surface tension of water and more importantly, by making the mineral particle surfaces more hydrophobic (water repellent), thus allowing for higher levels of moisture reduction.

  • Lower cake moisture that reduces drying and freight costs.
  • Faster filtration rates thus lowering capital investment in filters.
  • Better cake release increasing the efficiency of the filters.
  • Reduces filter cloth blinding improving the life of the cloth.
