Flocculants & coagulants for solid liquid separation

The range of reagents for mineral processing offered by BTC includes rheology modifiers, coagulants and flocculants. Thus we can provide the mining industry with innovative solutions for solid liquid separation. Thickening & clarification The unrivalled combination of products and experience for mineral processing, hydrometallurgical thickening and clarification applications offered by BTC makes sure that you are provided with a wide range of physical forms and molecular weights to enable each sedimentation process to be complimented by an optimal choice. Among others, we offer high activity liquid dispersions, inverse emulsion flocculants, flocculant blocks, powder flocculants and primary coagulants. Using BTC’s Magnafloc® types, thickening, clarification or centrifugation are sure to run at maximum efficiency without support. The Alclar® types are used to cover the rigorous conditions present during the Alumina Bayer Process. Filtration Drimax® surfactants are added to the slurry before filtration is started. They reduce surface tension, wet out particles, encourage faster dewatering and lead to low moisture content in dry cakes resulting from very fine substrates. Tailings management The Rheomax® technology is based on BASF’s deep experience in tailings management for the mining industry. BTC’s customers ensure operational excellence in water management using Rheomax® flocculants.
