Features

  • Robust frother.
  • Moderate-to-high kinetics and equilibrium recovery.
  • Moderate selectivity.
  • Recommended for medium-to-coarse particles.

The glycol and polyglycol-based series of products are robust frothers, exhibiting moderate to high kinetics and equilibrium recovery with moderate selectivity. This group is recommended for medium-to-course particles, where a medium-to-strong frother is needed. 

Glycol/polyglycol-based products available

  • Dowfroth 250 – A standard frother for a wide variety of applications. Recommended particularly where a good degree of selectivity is required, together with high recovery for a broad range of fine/medium particle flotation systems of the sulphide minerals of copper, lead, zinc and copper/nickel.
  • Dowfroth 1012 – Strongest frother. Recommended for a broad range of medium-to-thick particle flotation, including the sulphide minerals of copper, lead, zinc and copper/nickel.
  •  Dowfroth 400 – Completely water soluble. Recommended for use when there is the potential for the premature rupture of foam and for a broad range of medium/thick particles flotation system of sulphide minerals.
  • Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol (MIBC) – Alcohol-based flotation frother. Recommended where a good degree of selectivity is required together with high recovery. Being a moderate frother it is recommended for a broad range of particle flotation systems for fine particles.

Fosterville Gold Mine: Successful Deployment of Milling Optimisation Technology

Agnico Eagle Fosterville Gold Mine (Fosterville) operates a gold plant in Australia comprising of a crushing and grinding circuit (SAG mill with a closed loop cyclone classification circuit) followed by flotation, bacterial oxidation and leaching circuits. The lack of surge capacity between the grinding and flotation circuit and restrictions on crushing operations due to noise constraints resulted in unique set of challenges, that required the implementation of a novel control solution using advanced instrumentation.
