CMC for Mining

Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is an essential additive in the mining industry, improving efficiency and performance in various mineral processing operations. With its binding, thickening, and stabilising properties,CMC enhances recovery rates, reduces reagent consumption, and improves the overall effectiveness of processes such as flotation, drilling, and ore pelletisation.

Storage Conditions

Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture to maintain its quality and performance. It is recommended to keep the product in its original, sealed packaging to prevent contamination and exposure to humidity.
For optimal shelf life, CMC should be stored at temperatures below 30°C (86°F) with a relative humidity of less than 70%. Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life is up to 24 months from the date of production.
Avoid stacking heavy loads on top of CMC packaging to prevent damage to the bags and ensure easy handling during transportation and usage.

Improved Ore Processing Efficiency: CMC acts as a dispersant and binder, improving the separation of valuable minerals from ore during flotation and beneficiation processes.
Dust Suppression: It helps in reducing dust generation during material handling and transport, improving safety and environmental conditions.
Water Retention and Stability: CMC enhances water retention in mining slurries, ensuring consistent viscosity and stability during processing.
