Clariant’s portfolio includes a comprehensive range of collectors and frothers for iron ore flotation to remove undesirable mineral impurities. The FLOTIGAM series includes ether amines, ether diamines and other cationic collectors for every iron ore flotation challenge. Our FLOTIGAM collectors are able to produce iron ore concentrate with low silica content by froth flotation, resulting in high purity concentrate, which is needed for steel production. Clariant’s iron ore technical experts and flotation specialists can work with your technical teams to develop customized solutions for your specific needs. From increased recoveries to lower contaminant grade, our portfolio delivers enhanced performance.
Designed to overcome processing and transport challenges related to moisture content, Clariant’s dewatering and filtering agents can deliver optimal moisture content without adding complexity to the process. Our FLOTICOR range consists of surfactant-based chemicals that allow for improved drainage across different filtrating and dewatering schemes. Our experts can help select the best product for your dewatering needs.
Clariant Mining Solutions has developed specific binders for the iron ore pelletizing industry that enhance the agglomeration process of iron ore fines. Our FLOTICOR PA series upgrades the pellet mechanical properties, thus producing more cohesive pellets that are less fragmented or cracked. The FLOTICOR PA series also enables the reduction of bentonite, adding value to the iron ore market by increasing the iron grade of pellets.
