Ether Amines

Beneficiation Process

a Clariant Specialty
Developed through years of experimentation, Clariant has developed
a comprehensive range of collectors for silica removal for use in
reverse flotation of iron ore.
The range consists of mixtures of both ether mono-amines and ether
di-amines. These are produced in varying chain lengths, with linear
and branch configurations from C9 and above. All these parameters
affect metal recovery, level
of frothing and
concentrate grade.

IRON ORE

Pelletizing Aids

ENHANcING PRODUCT VALUE


Clariant has developed specific reagents that enhance
the agglomeration process of fine iron ore.
Benefits for blast furnace pellets:

Increases the pellet compressive resistance and allows production rates to be increased
through the pelletizing machines
Reduces agglomeration agent (hydrated lime) consumption by as much as 25%
Reduces abrasion of the pellets
Benefits for direct reduction pellets:

Maintains the burned pellet compressive resistance above 300 daN/pellet


Nearly halves the agglomeration agent (bentonite) consumption
Reduces the addition of silica content in each pellet
Allows lower grade iron ore to be fed to the pelletizing plant

Put an end to weak,


cracked and broken
pellets with Clariant
pelletizing products.
