PAMPolymer provides mining polymers with different ionic charges and molecular weights for rheology control, coal washing, tailings treatment, thickening, filtration, centrifugation and mineral recovery. Mining slurries vary greatly in mineralogy, particle size, solids concentration, pH and dissolved salts, so polymer selection must be based on representative samples and the actual separation equipment.
Anionic flocculants are widely used to accelerate settling in thickeners and clarify overflow water. Cationic or nonionic grades may be preferred for specific minerals, acidic circuits or process-water conditions. Rheological polymers can improve slurry handling and pumpability, while filtration aids promote cake formation and cleaner filtrate. A successful program can raise throughput, improve water recovery, reduce suspended solids and support safer tailings management.
PAMPolymer can screen products for alumina, coal, gold, silver, iron, copper, nickel, phosphate and other mineral circuits. Provide ore type, slurry density, water chemistry, current settling rate, equipment dimensions and performance targets. Laboratory settling, filtration and rheology tests should be followed by a controlled plant trial.
