KemEcal Dispersants Process recovery varies substantially depending on the ore, the combination of metals present in the ore,

and the grade of ore being processed. We are a leader in dispersant technology which is highly effective for mineral grinding and dispersion used to maximize throughput and aid in transport and handling. With over 30 years of experience in supplying dispersion technology to North American mining operations, we provide high-quality, proven solutions for your mineral processing and handling needs.

Our KemEcal dispersant product line spans a large number of acrylicbased polymers and copolymers of varying molecular weights, pH, termination routes, charge densities and functionalities for desired performance characteristics. We utilize various monomers for optimal dispersion and grinding efficiency. Recognized variances in ore type, content and quality, and well as the need for improved economics, opened the doors to our formulated KemEcal TC product line. These products have exhibited synergistic effects in grinding and dispersion of certain minerals.

Our waterbased dispersant polymers and formulations are designed to improve processing efficiency, aid in transportation, improve handling and provide end-use product quality benefits. They are effective in dispersing and stabilizing a wide range of highsolids mineral slurries, including kaolin clay, calcium carbonate, lime, gypsum, iron oxide and other minerals. Our products reduce the viscosity of clay and carbonate, as well as solids containing clay and carbonate as waste product, allowing for easier transport and processing. Where a reduction in particle size is needed,

our products are used as effective grinding aids. They allow grinding at a higher solids content, resulting in either capacity improvements or similar milling results with a smaller set of mills. Grinding is one the most energy-intensive process steps in refining metals, and our technology can help. The result is not only improved product quality for the end-user but also improved cost-efficiency for the production plant. KemEcal Dispersants & Grinding Aids for Mining Applications Chemistry KemEcal 211 Polycarboxylate, sodium salt

Kemira has laboratory capabilities and expertise to recommend the most cost-efficient solution for your unique situation. Dispersant demand curve testing is typically performed by our expert R&D personnel. We conduct high-shear studies to predict mineral slurry behavior under that environment. We also conduct grinding studies to understand the feasibility of particle size reduction and rheology control.
