Flocculant (PAM) | Specialized Poly-Electrolyte for Mineral Industries

Polyacrylamide (PAM), commonly referred to as Flocculant, is a high molecular weight polymer compound known for its effective flocculation capabilities. It is recognized as one of the most essential consumables in solid-liquid separation processes within the mineral processing industry. The primary function of this material is to accelerate the settling of fine suspended particles in mineral pulps, enhance dewatering rates, and optimize the performance of thickeners and filter presses in processing plants.

Product Selection & Technical Consultation

Due to the wide variety of commercial flocculant codes from reputable global brands such as Tianran and ALPHACHEM, selecting the appropriate grade for each mining operation requires thorough evaluation of key parameters including:

• Pulp composition and mineral type
• Soil and ore characteristics
• pH of the medium
• Hardness of process water

At Arma Chemical, we offer specialized technical consultation services based on our laboratory database, technical knowledge, and extensive field experience. Our service includes:

• Collection and analysis of soil and mineral pulp samples
• Laboratory tests on flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration performance
• Accurate selection of the most suitable anionic, cationic, or non-ionic grade
• On-site performance validation and compatibility analysis with available process water

Application of Flocculants in Mining

Arma Chemical's flocculant products are widely used across various mineral concentration units:

• Iron, gold, and copper mines: Enhanced pulp sedimentation rates, reduced water usage, and improved filter press efficiency
• Tailings processing: Volume reduction of sludge, water recovery, and improved stability of tailing dams
• Coal, barite, phosphate, lead, and zinc mines: Improved dewatering efficiency for both concentrate and tailings
• Also suitable for: Industrial water treatment systems and water recycling applications

Technical Specifications & Packaging

Flocculants are offered in a range of grades and codes, with unique technical properties, including top-performing types from Tianrun and Alpha chem. Below is a sample technical specification for a commonly used anionic grade:
