MINING INDUSTRY — SNF Solutions
Faster settling for improved water recovery.
Ore-processing thickeners handle ultra-fine minerals that settle slowly and overload the system. Poor flocculation causes turbidity, low underflow density, and high overflow losses. SNF High Molecular Weight Anionic Flocculants rapidly settle fines, increase underflow solids, enhance process water reuse, and reduce flocculant consumption — improving concentrator efficiency.
Higher density tailings for safer disposal.
Tailings storage requires strict control of water content to ensure dam stability and environmental compliance. SNF Ultra-High MW flocculants boost slurry consolidation, minimize water retention, and improve decant water clarity — enabling safer stacking, less seepage, and lower tailings footprint.
Cleaner water for efficient dust control.
Dust suppression systems lose efficiency when water clarity drops due to suspended minerals. SNF Coagulants + Anionic Polymers remove fine contaminants, improve sprinkler nozzle performance, reduce blockages, and increase dust-binding efficiency — leading to safer hauling and improved air quality.
Efficient dewatering of mineral-rich sludge.
Mining sludge contains heavy solids and abrasive fines that are difficult to separate. SNF Cationic Flocculants improve water release, raise cake dryness, and protect dewatering equipment — delivering lower disposal volume, reduced transport cost, and more sustainable mining operations.
