Chemical Solutions for Iron Ore Processing

Ether amines, ether diamines and other specialty amines to maximize iron recovery and produce high-grade concentrates in reverse flotation of iron ore.

Key Benefits:

• Great selectivity with superior gangue mineral removal
• High-grade concentrates with reduced silica, alumina, and phosphorus content
• Tailored formulations for specific iron ore types and process conditions

Reduce silica content in iron ore pellets and improve pellet quality.

Key Benefits:

• Enable agglomeration of coarser particles
• Allow pelletizing plants to continue production during mill maintenance
• Reduce bentonite usage

Eliminate the use of bentonite and can be used to manufacture direct reduction iron pellets.

Key Benefits:

• Much lower dosages to achieve equivalent mechanical strength
• Smoother pellet surfaces with optimal plasticity
• Less fines generation during transportation and handling

Reduce moisture content and optimize filtration rate in filtration of iron ore concentrates and tailings.

Key Benefits:

• Optimized filtration efficiency to deliver reduced moisture levels
• Specific solutions designed for belt, disc and press filters
• Suitable for wide range of particle sizes from iron ore concentrates to tailings

Prevent scale formation in mineral transport processes.

Key Benefits:

• Reduction of scale deposition on tube walls and process equipment
• Easy implementation with no downtime required for adoption
• Less downtime for pipeline and equipment cleaning
