FLOATAID™ Series
At Eco Flotec Global, the FLOATAID™ Series represents a new generation of flotation enhancement solutions engineered to unlock maximum mineral recovery—especially in challenging fine particle circuits.
Developed through decades of operational experience in mining and water chemistry, FLOATAID™ products are designed to deliver higher recovery, improved selectivity, and reduced reagent consumption, while supporting environmentally responsible operations.
Why FLOATAID™?
Modern mineral processing operations face increasing challenges:
- Declining ore grades
- Higher proportion of ultra-fine particles
- Complex water chemistry and recirculation
- Rising reagent costs and environmental pressure
The FLOATAID™ Series is specifically formulated to overcome these limitations by enhancing mineral–reagent interactions at the surface level—without requiring major capital upgrades.
Key Benefits
1. Enhanced Fine Particle Recovery
FLOATAID™ technology significantly improves flotation efficiency in fine and ultra-fine particle ranges where conventional collectors struggle.
- Higher recovery in <75 µm fractions
- Improved attachment efficiency
- Stronger and more stable mineral–bubble interaction
2. Reduced Primary Collector Consumption
FLOATAID™ works synergistically with existing collectors, allowing operations to:
- Reduce fatty acid or traditional collector dosage
- Lower overall reagent costs
- Minimise overdosing and instability
3. Improved Selectivity & Grade Control
By refining the interaction between target minerals and gangue, FLOATAID™ helps achieve:
- Cleaner concentrates
- Reduced gangue entrainment
- Better downstream processing performance
4. Optimised Flotation Kinetics
Faster and more efficient flotation response:
- Reduced residence time requirements
- Increased plant throughput potential
- More stable circuit operation
5. Water Circuit Compatibility
Designed for modern operations with high water recirculation:
- Performs effectively in variable water chemistry
- Minimises negative impacts from dissolved ions
- Supports stable closed-loop systems
6. Environmentally Responsible Design
FLOATAID™ products are developed with sustainability in mind:
- Readily biodegradable components (where applicable)
- Reduced hydrocarbon loading compared to traditional systems
- Lower downstream environmental impact
Applications
The FLOATAID™ Series is suitable for a wide range of mineral systems, including:
- Lithium (Spodumene)
- Oxide minerals
- Base metals
- Industrial minerals
Particularly effective in:
- Fine flotation circuits
- Reprocessing operations
- Low-grade ore beneficiation
- Plants seeking recovery improvement without capital expansion
How It Works
FLOATAID™ enhances flotation performance by modifying surface chemistry interactions in the slurry phase. It improves the efficiency of collector adsorption and promotes selective attachment between valuable minerals and air bubbles.
This results in:
Stronger particle hydrophobicity
Improved bubble-particle collision efficiency
Reduced non-selective mass pull
