Large quantities of water are used in the mining industry to separate ore from its gangue, and at some stage in the process it is necessary to separate the solid from the liquid phase.

The aim is to ensure optimum treatment conditions, to protect the environment by reducing the quantity of tailings, and to recycle the water used in the manufacturing process.

The use of SNF filtering additives and flocculants in these operations enhances performances while reducing costs. These products can be used under the most extreme temperature and pH conditions.
