Mining Chemicals

Mining industry which has an indispensable place for human and society, has been one of the factors that played a major role in the development of countries throughout history in reaching their level of technology and prosperity.

As Lapischem, we are committed to the belief that mines are the world’s treasures. We contribute to sustainable mining practices, ensuring optimal resource extraction for our valued clients in the mining sector.

As a leading provider in the mining industry, we specialize in producing sulphate minerals such as high-quality copper sulfate, zinc sulfate, cobalt sulfate and providing many mining chemicals such as flotation collectors, frothers, depressants etc.

Due to characteristics of mine ore, different type of chemicals are required in order to extract and recover valuable metals. As LapisChem we provide wide range of chemicals for froth flotation process and focus on contributing sustainable mining operations through increasing operational efficiency.

Flotation process in mining depends on factors such as surface colloid, surface charge on the minerals, reagent chemistry like hydrocarbon chain length of the collector, polar functional group of the collector, solution chemistry of the collector, grade, minerology etc.

Lapischem offers wide range of chemical solutions for flotation process including Activators&Depressants, Collectors, pH Regulators and Modifiers.
