The new product finder tool provides an overview of our portfolio and allows our customer to identify the best product for their application needs.

Flocculants

Standard Flocculants

Magnafloc®

BASF's Magnafloc® range of floccuants and coagulants are used extensively whenever the extraction process uses water or lixiviants to aid mineral and metal recovery.

High Performance Flocculants

Rheomax® DR

The mining industry faces many challenges and issues relating to the ue of water and the impact of exploration, extraction and residue management, on the environment.

Tailings Management

Rheomax® ETD

Enhanced Tailings Disposal is a method of Tailing Management in which novel technolog is used to change and control the structural and drainage poperties of mineral processing residues.

Alumina Flocculants

Alclar®

BASF supplies a range of products and services to improve the efficiency of Bayer alumina refining at our customer’s operations.

Flocculant Preparation / Dosing Equipment

Jetwet® / Aerowet® / Alcotech®

BASF’s worldwide customer engineering function offers design, development, manufacturing, installation and maintenance services to meet our customers’ on-site requirements.

Solvent Extractants

Alamine® / Aliquat® range of solvent extractants

A range of high-purity, water-insoluble amines used to extract, recover and / or purify metals such as uranium, vanadium and molybdenum.

LIX® range of solvent extraction reagents

BASF has an extensive range of copper selective oxime solvent extractants

Solutrix™ - Dispersants

Along with other important slurry properties that affect the grinding of mineral slurries, such as solids concentration, particle size and temperature, the use of dispersants in grinding has a significant influence on slurry rheology.

Solutrix™ - Antiscalants

While scale formation can often be greatly reduced by the appropriate use of BASF Solutrix™ antiscalants, sooner or later there is nearly always a need to remove existing scale.

Flotation Reagents

Lupromin®

Using Lupromin® series results in significant performance advantages and dose efficiency compared to commonly used products in flotation. This results in a better grade-recovery profile and a more profitable operational curve.

Binders

Alcotac®

Innovative Alcotac® organic binders are used in a wide variety of mineral-substrates to improve agglomeration processes.

Leaching Aids

LixTRA™

To meet these challenges in the copper industry, BASF Mining Solutions have developed LixTRA™ Technology for Heap and Dump leach processes.
