BenTech Reagents – Product Overview

BenTech Reagents’ unique blend of hydrocarbon-based froth modifiers has been tested on numerous ores and feedstocks and has demonstrated superior performance relative to current mining industry froth modifiers and collector extenders.  Each reagent is customized to meet the demands of the specific mineral flotation application.  Manufacturing process chemistry is the key to a higher-performing reagent:

  • The unique process increases the hydrophobic and hydrophilic abilities of the extender/froth modifier, which includes enhanced surface tension for optimal bubble formation.
  • Our modifiers improve selectivity by changing the angle of inducement of the collector to the ion of interest and creating new molecules.
  • Our proprietary science removes chemical impurities from the organometallic additives that are typically present in base reagents used in froth modifiers. These impurities interfere with foaming and bubble formation. Their removal from the extender/froth modifier significantly improves the flotation efficiency.
  • Many of the additives present in the extender/froth modifier contain carbon-to-oxygen double bonds, which have an affinity to cations. The process essentially creates collectors which can mimic the commercial collectors that are used in the mineral flotation industry

Our products have benefits for many industries.  Our products have shown success in the following applications:

  • Phosphate
  • Gold
  • Copper
  • Iron ore
