Flotation Depressants

Florrea consists of selective depressants and flotation optimisers for a broad range of gangue minerals in mineral beneficiation processes.
They can offer a significant economic advantage in the flotation of minerals by reducing smelter penalties, increasing grades and recovery of mineral concentrates.

Key Benefits:

  • Improved grade and recovery

  • Depression of penalty elements

  • Excellent EHS profile

  • Non-toxic

  • Sustainable products from renewable sources


Our flotation depressants are proven to be effective on a variety of gangue minerals:

  • Sulfide minerals, like pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenic and bismuth sulfides

  • Oxide minerals, like silicates, talc and calcite

  • Clays and graphite

  • Sulfate minerals, like baryte and gypsum

Depression of Zn minerals during Pb flotation from Pb/Zn ores Depressant for Cu and Fe sulfide in Cu/Mo separation.Strong copper and iron sulfidedepressants in the pH range 6.5–8.5. They are preferably used in separating copper from copper–lead concentrates when secondary copper minerals  
are present and for depression of iron sulfides during nickel– cobalt separation
                Florrea D112                Sodium sulphite                used as a flotation depressant to depress Sphalerite and pyrite in the
flotation of Pb/Zn, Cu/Zn, and Cu/Pb/Zn ores.  
                Florrea D113                sodium bisulphite
                Florrea D114                sodium etabisulphite                can be used in conjunction with either lime or Na2S for depression of pyrite during flotation of copper-zinc ores. It does not depress Chalcopyrite .On the contrary, it can activate Chalcopyrite.It can be used at lower acid circuit. As for those Sphalerite(zinc minerals) which is strongly activated by copper ion,   it is recommended to use sodium sulphite in combination with zinc sulphate, sodium sulphide or sodium cyanide to enforce the depressing performance.
