Molycop supports its clients in planning, testing and metallurgical analysis through a series of flotation tests conducted at our dedicated laboratories.
Make An EnquiryMolycop provides technical support in mineral flotation testing and reagent evaluation to ensure a successful outcome for your project.
We offer a series of flotation tests that include:
Batch flotation tests – Studies the efficiency of different reagent formulas and doses (collectors, foaming agents, dispersants, depressants, etc.), particularly the impact of variables such as pH, P80, percentage of solid, type of water (process, sea, osmosis).
Flotation kinetics tests – Determines the kinetic constant (K) and maximum recovery (Rmax).
Open and closed loop tests (TCA and TCC) – Evaluates the design of the flow chart and the set of flotation reagents (collectors, foams, dispersants, depressants, etc.) in order to produce a metallurgical projection for a study sample.
Take your operations to the next level by exploring these additional products and services.

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.
