Mining Materials
Industry Overview
Mining and mineral processing operations depend on a wide range of chemical reagents used in extraction, flotation, water treatment and process optimisation. These materials support metal recovery, process stability and operational efficiency across mining operations.
Rebain works with international suppliers to source mining chemicals used in hydrometallurgy, flotation processes, pH control and water treatment. Our focus is on dependable sourcing, technical documentation and logistics solutions adapted to mining environments.
Through a global supplier network and multi-industry expertise, Rebain supports mining companies and industrial operators seeking reliable supply of mining reagents and process chemicals.
Applications
Leaching & Metal Extraction
Hydrometallurgical processes use reagents such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium cyanide and hydrogen peroxide to dissolve and recover metals from ore.
Flotation Processes
Mineral separation processes use flotation reagents including xanthates, frothers, depressants and flotation collectors to support selective recovery of valuable minerals.
Solid Liquid Separation
Mining operations use polyacrylamide (PAM), PolyDADMAC and polyaluminium chloride (PAC) as flocculants and coagulants to improve tailings management and water clarification.
pH Control & Neutralisation
Process optimisation often requires lime, caustic soda and soda ash to control alkalinity and enable precipitation and neutralisation processes.
Water & Process Treatment
Mining facilities use treatment chemicals such as biocides, corrosion inhibitors, antifoams and antiscalants to maintain process stability and equipment integrity.
Grinding & Processing Aids
Grinding operations may use glycol-based grinding aids, amine additives and organic binders to improve milling efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
