Tailings Management Polymers

Application Scenarios

Suitable for tailings thickening, dewatering, dry stacking and paste tailings operations across mining and mineral processing facilities.

Applicable to conventional tailings storage facilities, dry stack tailings systems, paste backfill operations and tailings water recycling circuits, with adaptability to varying tailings mineralogy and particle size distributions.

Solutions

Specialized polyacrylamide polymers enhance tailings consolidation, improve water recovery and support safe tailings management through efficient thickening, dewatering and paste production. High-molecular-weight anionic grades maximize underflow density, while cationic and amphoteric grades support filtration and dry stacking performance.

• Improved underflow density and reduced tailings storage volume.

• Enhanced water recovery for process recycling and reuse.

• Support for dry stacking and paste tailings systems.

• Strong floc structure for filtration and dewatering operations.

• Compatibility with various tailings mineralogy and particle sizes.

• Reduction in tailings storage footprint and environmental impact.
