Polymer is extensively used in the mining and metallurgical industries, particularly in processes such as coal washing, ore beneficiation, and metal extraction.By improving separation and clarification performance, polymer-based treatment significantly enhances both productivity and environmental outcomes in mineral processing.In these operations, polymers act as flocculants and filter aids, helping to:
Flocculate mineral particles suspended in liquids
Accelerate the settling of fine solids
Enhance solid-liquid separation
Improve filtration efficiency
Reduce tailings loss and processing costs

By improving separation and clarification performance, polymer-based treatment significantly enhances both productivity and environmental outcomes in mineral processing.
The polymer products offered by our company for mining and metallurgical use exhibit the following key features:
Excellent water solubility, ensuring fast preparation and action
Rapid flocculation response, improving throughput rates
Robust and stable floc formation, reducing fines carryover
Low residual suspended solids in filtrates
Strong adaptability to various pH levels and mineral types
Reliable performance even under challenging operational conditions
We provide tailored polymer solutions for specific mining and metallurgical conditions:
Custom molecular weight levels to meet slurry density requirements.
Adjustable ionic degrees (low, medium, high) for selective flocculation.
Formulations suitable for different temperature ranges and pH levels.
Specialized grades for high-salinity or high-mineral-content environments.
Compatibility with other chemicals used in ore processing systems.
Enhanced flocculation results and throughput in plant-specific settings.
Reduced consumption through optimized performance.
Minimized process downtime due to compatibility with existing systems.
Targeted improvements in resource recovery and water reuse rates.

To achieve optimal performance, follow these usage guidelines:
Dilution: Prepare the product as a 0.1% to 0.3% aqueous solution.
Dissolution: Add the polymer slowly while stirring to prevent lump formation. Maintain a stirring speed of 50–250 rpm.
Equipment: Avoid using metal tanks that may affect solution quality.
Temperature: Warm water (not exceeding 50°C) can accelerate the dissolution rate.
Proper mixing and hydration are critical for achieving peak flocculation and filtration efficiency.
Packaging: Supplied in 25 kg paper-plastic composite bags. Customized packaging is available upon request.
Shelf Life: Stable for up to 2 years under cool, dry conditions.
Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure bags are sealed when not in use.
Transport: Handle with care to avoid damage to packaging. Avoid exposure to high humidity environments.
Solution Concentration: 0.1% to 0.3% by weight in water.
Stirring Speed: Maintain 50 – 250 rpm to avoid shear degradation.
Water Temperature: Best between 20°C and 40°C; max 50°C.
Dissolving Equipment: Use plastic, stainless steel, or coated tanks (avoid iron or copper).
