Molycop 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.

Fosterville Gold Mine: Successful Deployment of Milling Optimisation Technology

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.
