Direct Flotation

Specialty flotation reagents and sustainable solutions for efficient mineral separation in metals and mining

Evonik delivers advanced flotation solutions that improve efficiency, sustainability, and performance in mineral processing. Our specialty chemicals help mining operations achieve higher recovery rates while reducing environmental impact.

Direct flotation is a key technique in mineral processing, where valuable minerals are made hydrophobic and separated from unwanted material. Evonik’s flotation reagents and frothing solutions ensure superior selectivity, stable froth formation, and optimized concentrate grades. These solutions support metal recovery optimization and reduce energy and water consumption, aligning with sustainable mining technologies.

Our portfolio includes high-performance flotation agents such as 
Tomamine® M and Arosurf® MG, designed for challenging ore environments. Potash flotation(Sylvinite) and Sulphate of Potash (SOP) These reagents enhance froth quality and concentrate grade, ensuring consistent results in both direct and reverse flotation processes.

Evonik also offers green mining chemicals like HYPROX® 600, an eco-friendly hydrogen peroxide for ore leaching and effluent treatment. Additionally, we provide tailored flotation chemistries for complex minerals such as zinc carbonate, feldspar, and niobium, ensuring optimal performance for diverse mining challenges.
