DELIVERING A BROAD RANGE OF COPPER AND MOLYBDENUM PROCESSING SOLUTIONS

From maximising recovery to improving ore grade, your copper processing operation has unique needs that depend on a balanced and precise process.  Our goal is to help our customers maximise productivity and profitability by providing solutions that optimise copper processing and molybdenum processing. Our team works closely with customers to better understand requirements and ultimately help to improve overall performance, while reducing downtime and operating costs. From copper flotation to material handling, we strive to continuously develop innovative technologies that deliver a broad range of programmes for mining processing.

Recovery, Grade, and Sustainability - Driving Value for Copper Processing Operations

Today’s copper processing operation requires a calculated combination of safety, profitability, efficiency, and product quality while helping to sustain the surrounding environmental resources.  Your process depends on a carefully balanced flotation circuit that considers everything from inbound ore and water quality to the correct chemistry within the circuit itself.  Nalco Water offers a wide range of frothers and collectors that allow you to optimise your conditions for optimal flotation performance.  


By choosing the appropriate partner, you can significantly improve recovery and selectivity in your operations, whether you are recovering copper, molybdenum, or both. Beyond copper flotation, Nalco Water can partner with you in everything from material handling to tailings management, allowing you to optimise your entire operation from mine to mill.

Heavy Metal Removal Programme Helps to Drive Sustainability and Compliance at Copper Mine for Over 10 Years

Long-lasting relationships between companies and their suppliers are often based on the confidence generated by good results. This has been the case of the long relationship between Nalco Water and a large copper mine in Spain.  The mining company asked Nalco Water to assist them with reducing the amount of heavy metals in discharged water.  By introducing NALMET™, a proprietary technology that supports the removal of heavy metals, Nalco Water has helped the mine avoid fines and lost production time due to regulations for over 10 years.
