High-Performance Flotation Collector for the Mining Industry In the mining and mineral processing industry, selecting the right flotation reagents is critical for achieving maximum recovery and concentrate quality. Among the most effective and widely used collectors is Potassium Amyl Xanthate (PAX) — a high-strength chemical that plays a vital role in separating valuable sulfide minerals...
How Alpha Improves Solid-Liquid Separation and Water Recovery In the mining industry, one of the most challenging tasks is separating fine solid particles from liquids. These particles—produced during processes such as grinding, flotation, and washing—can lower the quality of recycled water, reduce mineral recovery rates, and strain equipment performance. This is where flocculants become essential....
Caustic soda, also known as sodium hydroxide, is a highly versatile and essential chemical used in various industries. It is a strong base that is widely used in the mining industry for its ability to dissolve minerals and metals, making it an important component in many mining processes. Caustic soda is used in the production...
Introduction to Sodium Metabisulfite: What It Is and Why It’s Used Sodium metabisulfite (Na2S2O5) is a chemical compound commonly used in various industries for its antioxidant, preservative, and disinfectant properties. It appears as a white or yellowish granulated powder and releases sulfur dioxide (SO2) when dissolved in water. Structure and Properties: Sodium metabisulfite is composed...
Introduction to Forged Steel Grinding Balls Forged steel grinding balls are a crucial element in the comminution process, a fundamental operation in industries such as mining, metallurgy, cement production, and utilities. These balls are designed to grind materials into fine powders, enabling efficient processing and production.Forged steel grinding balls are utilized in ball mills, where...
Hot rolled round bars, normally called “round bars”, are our flagship product. Not only are they raw material to our forged grinding balls and rods, but also we supply them as finished product. Indeed, we owe this to pretty high capacity of round bars production. We supply round bars to other grinding media producers. They...
Grinding rods are another type of grinding media produced by Alpha. Unlike forged and cast grinding balls, grinding rods are designed for application in rod mills for processing metals like iron, gold, and copper. Alternatively, some of our clients use them for processing coke and friable non-minerals, grinding glass, or grinding gravel to produce sand....
Alpha offers cast grinding balls with different chromium contents for use in SAG mills and ball mills in mining, cement and steel industries. Unlike forged grinding balls that are produced by hammer forging or skew rolling, cast balls are made by metal mold casting. They are also different in composition, wear performance and impact resistance...
