Deeper Results in Mining Productivity from Celanese MIBC Frother Chemistry
Wed, April 23 2014
However, through intermediate chemistry products developed by
Frothing, also known as froth flotation, is the process of selectively separating hydrophobic valuable minerals from hydrophilic waste gangue. In its simplest form, froth flotation is a method where minerals can be “skimmed” from the surface of “slurry” that is “foamed” with the assistance of specific chemicals, water and air bubbles.
“Celanese’s MIBC is a preferred frother of choice for the mining
industry because it can significantly contribute to the overall recovery
rate and concentration grade in the flotation processes,” said
“We continue to evaluate the performance of MIBC as a frothing agent and
are beginning to review potential investments in addressing common
concerns over MIBC – such as improving the flash point and reducing
odor,” said
