Mineral Type Applications

Flotation Performance Across Mineral Types. Evaluated Ore by Ore.

Flotation chemistry optimized across mineral types through structured testing

The LOCUS ADVANTAGE

Validate flotation performance across different ore types

Optimize recovery and selectivity under ore-specific conditions

Reduce variability through structured, ore-by-ore evaluation

Mineral type flotation performance varies widely across ore types, requiring chemistry that can adapt to different mineralogy and processing conditions. Locus Mining develops biosurfactant-enhanced flotation reagents designed to improve recovery and selectivity across base metals, battery metals, precious metals, and industrial minerals through structured testing and measurable performance.

The Challenge

Flotation performance constraints vary by mineral type

In mineral processing, flotation circuits face similar challenges, but performance varies significantly by mineral type. Differences in mineralogy, liberation, and gangue response directly impact recovery, selectivity, and froth stability.:

  • Recovery limitations driven by mineral composition and liberation
  • Selectivity challenges based on mineral and gangue response
  • Froth-driven water recovery causing entrainment and dilution
  • Froth instability affecting control, consistency, and circuit performance

Flotation performance by mineral type

Performance is evaluated across mineral types under defined processing conditions.

Iron ore
