Kemetco has the facilities and experienced staff to evaluate a wide variety of mineral processing techniques including comminution and sizing, gravity separation, magnetic separation and froth flotation, covering a wide range of mineral types and process applications, including precious metals, refractory ores, complex sulphides, oxide ores, brines and reprocessing of wastes.
Kemetco Research has a well-equipped mineral processing laboratory and experienced staff capable of carrying out mineral process test programs ranging from simple scoping tests to complex flowsheet development and optimization. Our capabilities cover standard process methods but can allow for customized process development aimed at identifying the best process options, even for the most challenging applications.
For example, our flotation capabilities include common air-froth selective mineral flotation, but also extend to custom testing using inert or specialty gas flotation, high or low temperature processing, saturated brine flotation or unique conditioning and reagent combinations.
