Hard-Rock Lithium Extraction
Lithium extraction requires effective equipment, processes and chemicals to avoid the common recovery challenges such as poor reagent efficacy and failing to meet recovery and grade lithium targets.
It’s critical to have an experienced partner who can deliver solutions that drive productivity and achieve the desired recovery and grade. Nalco Water has a proven track record in lithium processing, and we offer a range of lithium extraction chemistry that can help you achieve your desired goals.
End-to-End Lithium Processing Solutions
Flotation is critical to hard rock lithium extraction. Effective flotation processes and chemistry can dramatically improve selectivity, grade and operational efficiency. Nalco Water offers a diverse portfolio of flotation programs, all of which are developed to overcome flotation process challenges.
Nalco Water collectors and frothers have a range of benefits, including high selectivity and stability over a wide pH range. Our lithium experts work closely with your mining company to understand your ore characteristics and operational processes to deliver robust flotation solutions customized to your needs.
In addition to flotation applications, Nalco Water provides solutions including but not limited to material handling, solid-liquid separation, scale control, water treatment, and tailings management.
