Mining chemicals are aggressive and high-cost compounds that are widely used during mineral processing. They require precise metering to ensure sound recovery rates and offer optimum froth and bubble size, and depression specificity. They assist in filtration and de-watering, improving grade and recovery, offering efficiency, selecting minerals, and handling pumping and slurry, and lowering collector dose and cost per ton. Some of the commonly utilized mining chemicals include frothers and collectors, flocculants, solvent extractants, rheology modifiers, and wet-and dryginding aids.
At present, there is a rise in the demand for specialty chemicals, such as defoamers, corrosion inhibitors, antiscalants, biocides, dust suppressants, and others. This, in confluence with the adoption of price-cutting schemes in the mining industry and the implementation of novel technologies to ensure better quality processes and production, represents one of the key factors fueling the growth of the market. Apart from this, mining chemicals are employed in the mining and mineral processing industries to attain maximum efficiency through improved selectivity, and higher recovery. This, along with the growing need to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollution and the increasing requirement for environmental and health protection in the industry, is positively influencing the sales of mining chemicals across the globe. Furthermore, leading market players are continuously investing in mining projects, especially in developing countries worldwide, which is creating a favorable market outlook. Some of the other considerable factors are rapid industrialization, rising expenditure on infrastructure projects, such as the construction of railways, roads, and highways, and increasing demand for gold, copper, and platinum around the world, are anticipated to strengthen the market growth.
