COPPER PRO™
COPPER PRO™ is Eco Flotec Global’s high-performance reagent platform engineered to maximise copper recovery across oxide, mixed, and complex ore systems.
Designed to outperform conventional collector systems, COPPER PRO™ delivers enhanced recovery, improved selectivity, and optimised flotation efficiency, particularly in challenging mineralogy and fine particle environments.
Unlocking Copper Value in Challenging Ores
Copper operations today face increasing complexity:
- Declining ore grades
- Mixed oxide–sulphide mineralogy
- Fine and ultra-fine particle losses
- Variable water chemistry and recycling
COPPER PRO™ is specifically developed to address these challenges by improving the interaction between copper-bearing minerals and the flotation process—without the need for major circuit changes.
Key Performance Advantages
1. Enhanced Recovery Across Mineral Types
COPPER PRO™ is effective across a wide range of copper mineralogy:
- Oxide copper minerals
- Mixed oxide–sulphide ores
- Secondary copper systems
Delivers improved recovery even in difficult and variable ore conditions.
2. Superior Fine Particle Flotation
Fine particle recovery is a major source of loss in many copper operations. COPPER PRO™ is engineered to:
- Improve recovery of fine and ultra-fine copper particles
- Increase overall metal recovery
- Reduce valuable losses to tailings
3. Improved Selectivity and Concentrate Quality
COPPER PRO™ enhances mineral selectivity at the surface level:
- Reduced gangue entrainment
- Cleaner concentrates
- Better downstream processing performance
4. Optimised Flotation Kinetics
Faster flotation response translates into operational benefits:
- Faster bubble–particle attachment
- Reduced residence time requirements
- Increased throughput potential
5. Reduced Reagent Consumption
COPPER PRO™ is designed to work efficiently within existing reagent schemes:
- Lower dosage requirements compared to conventional collectors
- Potential reduction in total reagent consumption
- Improved cost efficiency per tonne processed
6. Stability in Complex Water Chemistry
Modern copper operations often rely on recycled or high-salinity water. COPPER PRO™ performs reliably under these conditions:
- Consistent performance in variable water chemistry
- Reduced sensitivity to dissolved ions
- Improved circuit stability
7. Environmentally Responsible Approach
COPPER PRO™ supports sustainable mining practices:
- Reduced reliance on traditional high-impact chemistries
- Lower environmental footprint
- Designed with environmentally conscious principles
Applications
COPPER PRO™ is suitable for a broad range of copper processing operations, including:
- Oxide copper flotation
- Mixed ore flotation systems
- Low-grade ore beneficiation
- Reprocessing and tailings recovery
Particularly effective in:
- Fine and ultra-fine flotation circuits
- Complex mineralogy systems
- Operations seeking recovery improvement without capital investment
How It Works
COPPER PRO™ enhances flotation performance by improving mineral surface interaction and adsorption efficiency. This results in:
Increased hydrophobicity of copper minerals
Improved bubble–particle collision and attachment
Reduced non-selective mass pull
The outcome is a more efficient, selective, and stable flotation process.
