Mining Chemicals

Specialty chemicals for clay mining, drilling mud conditioning, mineral washing, slurry control, clarification, and dewatering applications.

Product Overview

Mining and mineral processing operations need reliable chemical programs to keep slurry movement stable, separate useful minerals from fines, recover process water, and reduce downtime in drilling and washing sections. Cleanex Chemicals supplies mining chemicals for clay mining, drilling support, mine-water treatment, and mineral handling applications.

Our range supports clay mining, china clay and kaolin processing, drilling mud conditioning, mineral washing, tailings clarification, filter press dewatering, and process-water recycling. Programs can be adjusted according to ore type, slurry solids, pH, turbidity, and equipment layout.

Mining support advantage: Correct polymer and dispersant selection improves slurry stability, faster solids settling, better water recovery, and cleaner dewatering performance in clay and mineral processing circuits.
