What Are The Mining Chemicals? How They Helps In The Mining Sector?

Mining chemicals are crucial in the processing of mineral ores to maximize recovery and also for post mining operations such as water and waste water treatment. Mining chemicals include chemicals useful in floatation chemicals, extraction chemicals, and grinding aids. Floatation chemicals used in the mining industries are collectors, depressant, flocculant, frother, and dispersant. On the other hand diluent and extractant are used for extraction purposes. These chemicals are used in the extraction of base metals such as iron, steel, and aluminum and also for the precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum.
