Reagents for Mineral Processing
Borregaard offers versatile biopolymer reagents to increase value and productivity for our mining and mineral processing customers in several mineral processing application areas.
In plant-scale operations, our Pionera® products show the ability to increase the production of valuable metals and minerals. A higher recovery rate or better metal grades are achieved without capital expenditure.
We strive for continuous improvement of our existing product lines and the development of innovative solutions to meet your specific needs.
Our solutions in mineral processing
Flotation optimisers and depressants
Selective depressants and promotors for froth flotation of metals and minerals to improve grade and recovery.
Leaching additives
Leaching reagents for gold, copper, zinc, lead, nickel and other mineral leaching processes, including atmospheric, autoclave, cil and cip.
Viscosity reducers
Viscosity reduction of ore slurries, which improves throughput and conserves water.

More on mineral processing
All you need to know about mineral processing
Mineral processing is the art and technology of treating ores from mining areas in order to separate the valuable minerals from waste rock. it includes processes to provide a more concentrated material for the procedures of the following extractive metallurgy. the three main processes to increase the concentration of minerals are leaching, flotation and gravity concentration. recently ore sorting by xrf-technology became increasingly relevant.
