Flotation: Unlocking Ore Value Through Precision Chemistry and Bubble Science.
Mineral flotation is a cornerstone of ore processing, enabling the separation of valuable minerals from gangue by exploiting differences in surface chemistry. By treating ore slurries with specialized reagents, valuable particles are made hydrophobic, attaching to air bubbles and rising to the surface as concentrate. This highly adaptable method is vital for processing fine-grained ores—from copper and lead to rare earth elements—maximizing resource recovery while supporting efficient, sustainable mining operations.
