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.

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 carbonates and silicate gangue minerals.

Floatan T5 is suitable for the depression of Pyrite and Pyrrhotite in sulphide flotation.

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