In the Spotlight – Copper Flotation
Flotation technology has a direct and significant impact on a copper operation's bottom line. With the right solution, our customers can improve overall cost performance by optimizing their flotation method and circuit. Nalco Water offers a diverse range of froth flotation and collector programs to achieve the right balance of kinetics, strength, stability, and selectivity. By implementing a customized solution, Nalco Water can help you improve copper and / or molybdenum recovery and increase the profitability of your operations.

In the Spotlight – Phosphate Flotation
After investing in planning, drilling, conveying, crushing, and grinding, a phosphate operation has between 5-15 minutes to concentrate all the phosphate (PO4) mined, or they will lose it. With the proper froth flotation reagent program, our customers can improve bottom-line profitability through froth flotation improvements, such as increased tonnage, recovery, and grade in the phosphate beneficiation process. With a broad range of froth flotation solutions and concise performance control, Nalco Water can help you navigate fluctuations in ore and operation conditions, minimizing potential losses.
