For a considerable time, SBS Philippines Corporation has served as a significant ally to the mining sector, offering its expertise in supporting the requirements of various mining and processing operations, including those involved in extracting and refining precious metals like gold and silver, minerals like tin, nickel, zinc, and copper, energy sources such as coal, as well as specialty resources like lead, vanadium, uranium, rare earth elements, and oil and gas.
Propylene glycol sees applications primarily as an antifreeze agent and heat transfer fluid within equipment such as pumps or pipelines that are susceptible to freezing temperatures during winter seasons at mine sites. It lowers the freezing point of water-based solutions extending their operational lifespan despite cold conditions.
Potassium sulfate has limited applications specifically within the mining sector; however, it can be employed in controlled environments such as research laboratories or specialized chemical reactions related to mineral processing.
It is used as an oxidizer and sanitizer in the mining industry for water treatment, particularly in removing organic compounds and controlling bacterial growth.
Potassium nitrate is a strong oxidizer. When heated, it decomposes into potassium nitrite and oxygen, which aids in the combustion process. It can be used as an explosive in mining operations, primarily in blasting applications.
Potassium chloride has various applications within the mining industry. It is primarily used as an additive for drilling fluids to stabilize wellbore pressure and prevent formation damage during oil and gas drilling operations. Additionally, it finds application as a flotation reagent for minerals separation processes due to its ability to selectively bind with certain minerals.
Potassium chlorate is utilized as an oxidizer in explosive compositions used for blasting purposes in mining operations. It enhances the combustion properties of fuel mixtures, thereby increasing the efficiency of blasting.
Potassium carbonate is used predominantly in mineral processing plants for ore flotation processes. It acts as a pH regulator and provides alkalinity required for various steps involved in mineral separation. Moreover, it can also be utilized in water treatment processes within the mining industry.
Potassium acetate is commonly used as a drilling fluid additive in the mining industry. It helps to control clay swelling and shale hydration during drilling operations. Additionally, it can be utilized as an electrolyte in electrochemical processes for metal recovery. Potassium acetate is soluble in water and environmentally friendly.
PEG is used in the mining industry as a dust suppressant. It helps in reducing the amount of dust generated during mining activities, improving air quality, and preventing respiratory problems among workers. Its characteristics include low volatility, high water solubility, and lubricating properties.
Acts as a filtration control agent, shale inhibitor, and viscosifier in drilling fluids used during well drilling operations. It helps maintain wellbore stability by controlling fluid loss and reducing formation damage caused by drill solids invasion.
It is used in the extraction of phosphate rock to produce phosphorus-containing fertilizers. Phosphoric acid helps dissolve phosphate minerals present in the ores.
One of the most widely used chemicals in the mining industry, it is utilized for leaching ores to extract valuable metals like copper and uranium. Sulphuric acid is also employed for pH control during various mineral processing steps.
Typically used for descaling equipment or removing scale deposits from surfaces associated with industrial water systems used in mining operations like cooling towers or heat exchangers.
Different solvents such as alcohols, ethers, ketones, etc., are commonly employed for various extraction refining techniques within the mining industry depending on specific applications or requirements.
Though not extensively used directly in the mining industry itself, sodium thiocyanate finds application indirectly by serving as a reagent or catalyst during mineral analysis or testing processes.
It functions primarily as an oxygen scavenger or reducing agent to prevent oxidation reactions during hydrometallurgical processes like leaching or solvent extraction.
It can be used primarily for recovering heavy metals like copper or lead from ores during flotation processes by forming metal sulfides that are easier to separate.
Also known as waterglass, it is employed for several applications in the mining industry like ore flotation processes and stabilizing soil in underground construction activities.
It is occasionally employed to manufacture blasting agents due to its oxidizing properties. Additionally, it can serve as an ingredient for initiating certain explosives or pyrotechnic mixtures.
It may be utilized for various purposes in the mining industry, such as inhibiting corrosion by acting as a cathodic inhibitor or reducing the risks associated with explosives during blasting operations.
SLES is extensively employed as a surfactant and foaming agent in various mineral extraction processes, such as froth flotation or mineral separation techniques.
Similar to sodium ethyl xanthate, it acts as another type of collector commonly employed in froth flotation processes for enhanced mineral recovery rates from ore mixtures.
Used as a disinfectant or oxidizer during water treatment processes required by certain mining operations, such as removing harmful microorganisms or treating wastewater before discharge into the environment.
Primarily used for sulfidizing oxide minerals during ore flotation processes to improve their recovery rates from ores containing precious metals like copper or nickel.
It is widely used as a leaching agent to extract gold and silver from ores in the mining industry. However, its use has been heavily regulated due to environmental concerns.
It finds application as a pH regulator, buffering agent, and flocculant in the mining industry. It helps maintain optimal pH levels during various stages of mineral processing.
This chemical is used as a dispersant and deflocculant in flotation processes. It aids in separating valuable minerals from gangue materials by creating stable suspensions.
It is used as a pH regulator and buffer in mineral flotation processes. It helps in controlling the acidity and alkalinity levels during ore processing.
It finds application as a desiccant or dehydration agent for natural gas purification and dehydration operations, which are essential activities associated with mining operations.
Thiourea is used in the mining industry as a leaching agent for gold and silver ores. It forms a complex with metal ions, allowing for easier extraction of these precious metals from the ore.
