Sinofloc Polyacrylamide Application in Copper Mine

Sinofloc Polyacrylamide is widely used in mining industry, especially in the process of mining processing. Besides separating minerals and ores, our flocculant could also be used in wastewater treatment, or worked with seal mining pipelines and other processing equipment.

Anionic polyacrylamide can be used in copper mining, which is suitable for the paste with positive charge on the surface of particles. With good flocculent properties, it is suitable for the treated water with a suspension with neutral to alkaline pH and a lot of inorganic matter.

The slurry or tailings from the flotation cell of copper ore will enter the concentration tank for further sedimentation. And then, polyacrylamide flocculant could be added to promote rapid sedimentation and produce clarification overflow. The clarified overflow will be used as circulating water. The remaining concentrated tailings will be pumped into the centrifuge for centrifugal dewatering, and the anionic polyacrylamide flocculant will be added as centrifugal additive. The concentrate loaded with copper ore is separated from the overflow by mechanical means. It is then dehydrated and then concentrated. At this time, the anionic polyacrylamide flocculant is used to improve the efficiency of sedimentation and filtration.

The acid wastewater contains high concentration of suspended solids and a variety of metal ions and mineral processing agents. Polyacrylamide and Polyaluminium Chloride are commonly used to treat the wastewater.
