Reagent solutions
Collectors, frothers, depressants, dispersants, flocculants and selected hydrometallurgical reagents.
Australian mineral processing support backed
by global reagent expertise
Axis House Australia works with mineral processing operations to develop and apply reagent solutions around the ore, the circuit and the performance objective. Our local engagement is supported by Axis House Group’s wider experience in flotation, solid-liquid separation, hydrometallurgy and metallurgical testwork.
More than a reagent supply relationship
A reagent only creates value when it performs under plant conditions. Mineralogy, water quality, grind, residence time and circuit configuration can all influence the result. We work with technical and operational teams to understand the application, identify suitable chemistry and plan evaluation for plant use.
How We Support Mineral Processing Operations
Metallurgical evaluation
Application review, screening, reagent suite development and testwork support.
Technical collaboration
Engagement through assessment, trial planning, implementation and performance review.
From plant challenge to practical response
Our technical approach is structured around four connected steps:
- Understand the ore, circuit conditions, current reagent regime and performance constraint.
- Select or develop suitable chemistry and define an appropriate evaluation programme.
- Support laboratory work and, where justified, a controlled plant trial.
- Review the operating response and refine the reagent suite against agreed performance measures.
Processing areas
Our capabilities support applications across base and precious metals, polymetallic ores, rare earth and industrial mineral processing, subject to the requirements of each ore and circuit.
- Sulphide and oxide flotation
- Froth control and flotation selectivity
- Gangue depression and dispersion
- Thickening, clarification and dewatering
- Leaching, precipitation and related hydrometallurgical applications
