Coal Mining

Meeting recovery and quality KPIs are essential for coal mining. In addition to big-picture goals, Coal Handling and Preparation Plants (CHPP) operators are continually optimizing flotation to increase recovery of lost coal. Managing environmental impacts are equally important, making it essential to have an experienced partner who understands the nuances of the entire process.

Nalco Water can help you manage coal flotation more profitably while meeting specifications and protecting the environment. CoalEX and NALFLOTE™ “fine coal” programs offer green collectors, frothers, filtration and filter aids to help optimize recovery and meet quality specifications. Dust-Ban™ and EliminIce programs promote safe, environmentally sound solids handling while Pol E-Z, WaterShed and EnAct will accelerate efficient water recycle to help safeguard the ecosystem and assist with regulatory compliance.

Our team’s technical expertise can help you greatly enhance flotation kinetics and address coal separation while meeting economic and environmental goals.

Flotation 360™

Mineral processing optimization can feel like a moving target. Changing ore, an incorrect formulation or failing to balance recovery and grade can impact your bottom line. But Nalco Water has your solution: Flotation 360 with digital expertise from Stone Three. This digital technology helps you maximize productivity and optimize your flotation circuit performance.

Optimize your circuit with the predictive capabilities of Flotation 360 to help:

  • Improve performance to increase recovery and profitability
  • Enhance visibility of potential impacts of future ore changes, allowing for the mitigation of any challenges in advance
  • Optimize reagent dosing and chemical consumption, improving the total cost of operations
  • Reduce maintenance challenges such as float cell valve failures, and spend less time manually troubleshooting

Mining Customer Success Stories

FloteFeed and On-Site Expertise Increases CHPP Flotation Product Yield and Process Stability in Excess of $8M

Flotation kinetics are often the limiting factor when trying to maximize flotation yield and recovery. The newly developed Nalco Water FloteFeed technology increases flotation kinetics particularly when mixing energy or conditioning time are limiting factors.

FloteFeed G2 Technology Increases Coal Flotation Kinetics with a Delivered Value of $18M

Coal Handling and Preparation Plants (CHPPs) employ flotation to maximize recovery of-500 micron by zero coal. CHPP operators are continually optimizing flotation to increase recovery of lost coal. A Queensland Australia coking coal producer was utilizing a Nalco Water flotation frother in its coal flotation circuit.
