Mineral Flotation

UNITAN developed their products Floatan for applications in the mining industry. Due to their special characteristics and the low specific consumption of Floatan modifiers, they represent an important friendly alternative with the environment to improve flotation results. Floatan are especially indicated to the flotation of sulphide with the occurrence of argillaceous gangues and in separations of complex sulphide ore, besides the traditional applications as carbonates depressor in non-metallic minerals.

Special Characteristics:
Our Floatan products behave very well in deposits with proven argillic alteration and when working with very fine clay or very fractured minerals with the presence of alteration. Normally in these cases it has a good performance adding doses of 50 to 100 g / ton in the Rougher of a mixture in a 1:1 ratio of Floatan M3 and Floatan T5.

Floatan reagents are modified natural extracts. They are more specific and soluble depressors than other modifier, mainly in cold water.

Floatan T1 is formulated for the depression of of mineral carbonate and silicate gangues.

Floatan T5 is suitable for the flotation of sulphides in pyrites and pyrrhotite depression.

Floatan M3 is a depressant and dispersant reagent used in metallic and non-metallic mineral flotation.

Applications:
Pyrite depression
Cu-Mo separation
Fluorite Flotation
Pb-Zn separation
Sulfurized minerals with arcilliary gangues
Improvements in Cu-Au recovery
Direct potassium flotation
Hematite reverse flotation
Graphite-Talc system
Mg-Ca oxides flotation
Dispersants
