Evonik provides advanced solutions for filtration in mineral processing, helping mining operations achieve efficient solid-liquid separation and sustainable water management.
Filtration is a critical step after mineral extraction, removing water from slurry to produce a dry concentrate for further refining or sale. It also supports tailings dewatering and water recycling, reducing environmental impact and improving operational efficiency.
Evonik offers a range of chemistries to enhance filtration performance. TMT 15® is a ready-to-use reagent for removing heavy metals from wastewater, ensuring compliance with strict environmental regulations. HYPROX® 600, a high-quality hydrogen peroxide, supports green mining by improving ore leaching, concentrate preparation, and effluent treatment. Our water treatment additives help clarify process water, essential for effective vacuum and pressure filtration.
Foam control agents, such as AROSURF® and TEGO® Antifoams, prevent foam formation during filtration and slurry handling, improving throughput and reducing downtime. Additionally, Evonik’s flotation reagents, including Arosurf® MG, indirectly support filtration by producing cleaner concentrates with lower moisture content, reducing the load on downstream filters.
