Mining Solutions Innovative Solutions for Flotation of Industrial Minerals. BASF’s commitment to an innovative mining industry
Innovation is at the heart of BASF’s Mining Solutions business as our aim is to develop novel and innovative chemistries and technologies to effectively meet the evolving challenges that the mining industry continues to face.

BASF is committed to working in close collaboration with our customers, academia, and global industry organizations.

BASF’s extensive backward integration into the building blocks of product chemistries for mineral processing enables us to effectively apply our knowledge and chemical experience to develop both conventional and novel chemistries to meet the technical and commercial challenges faced by the industry, both today and in the future.

With our chemistry, equipment, process and application technologies, industry experience, and customer commitment, BASF can uniquely package competencies and expert offerings to effectively support the diversity of mineral processing technology developments and process challenges.

Industrial minerals is a diverse range of non-sulfide substrates which require an individual approach in order to optimize cost-performance ratio of their beneficiation by flotation.

We offer solutions for the flotation of non-sulfide minerals such as Bariyte, Calcite, Feldspar, Glass Sands, Fluorspar and many others. For specific flotation challenges, BASF is continuously developing tailor-made solutions in collaboration with customers and support  all necessary test work in laboratories, pilot plants and industrial operations. Please contact our sales team for further information. E:\MINECO\WEBSITE_MINECO\Page 3_Chemical Reagents\BASF pictures\mineral.jpg

PRODUCT RANGE

Barite

Lupromin® FP B 715 and Lupromin® FP B 251 are neutral fatty alcohol sulfate collectors supplied as a viscous liquid that promotes high-selectivity barite flotation.

Lupromin® FP 199 is a collector for direct barite flotation based on sodium alkyl ether sulfate salt modified with further additives to improve selectivity and dose efficiency.

Lupromin® FP E is a granulated solid product based on high molecular weight fatty alcohol sulfates.

Calcite

Lupromin® FP 18 AS is a novel liquid polymeric esterquat applied as a reverse calcite flotation collector for the selective removal of silicacious minerals. Apart from the ecological benefits gained from using esterquats, it also offers potential economic advantages due to the faster flotation kinetics of this collector system.

Fluorspar

Lupromin® FP 308C is a collector based on anionic and non-ionic molecules that allows the concentration of fluorspar to produce a commercial-grade product. Further tailor-made novel formulations are available on request (ask your local sales partner).

Pyrochlore

Lupromin® FP N 315 is a mixture of polyglycol esters, which associated to cationic collectors, acts as an adjuvant in niobium flotation. The use of Lupromin® FP N 315 therefore significantly increases the efficiency of the pyrochlore flotation process.
