Gold mining operations generate large volumes of tailings, which are the residual materials left after the extraction of gold from ore. These tailings typically contain finely ground rock, process water, and various chemical residues. Efficient treatment and management of gold mine tailings are essential to minimize environmental impact, enhance water recycling, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. Hengfeng Polyacrylamide plays a key role in achieving these goals.

What Is Polyacrylamide?

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a high molecular weight polymer used primarily as a flocculant in mineral processing, wastewater treatment, and solid-liquid separation processes. Hengfeng offers a range of anionic and non-ionic polyacrylamide products specifically designed for mining applications.

Role of Hengfeng Polyacrylamide in Gold Tailings Treatment

Solid-Liquid Separation

Tailings slurry from the gold extraction process typically contains suspended fine particles. Hengfeng's polyacrylamide flocculants promote rapid aggregation of these particles into larger flocs, enhancing sedimentation and improving clarity of the recovered water.

Improved Water Recycling

With effective flocculation, water clarity is significantly enhanced, allowing for reuse in the gold extraction process. This reduces water consumption and helps lower the operational cost of the mine.

Tailings Thickening

Hengfeng PAM improves the thickening process in tailings thickeners. By increasing the settling rate and underflow density, it allows for better water recovery and minimizes the storage volume required for tailings disposal.

Customized Solutions

Hengfeng offers tailored polyacrylamide formulations based on specific mineral compositions and tailings characteristics, ensuring optimal flocculation performance for each mine site.
