Your copper, nickel or zinc processing operation requires a unique, balanced process to maximize recovery and improve ore grade. Nalco Water creates customized solutions, including (froth) flotation, to help customers maximize productivity and profitability of copper processing.
Our team works closely with customers to understand requirements and ultimately help improve overall performance while reducing downtime and operating costs. At Nalco Water, we strive to continuously develop innovative technologies that deliver a broad range of programs for copper, nickel and zinc processing.
Hitting Your Target
In mineral processing, what you avoid can be as important as what you're trying to achieve. Choosing a partner with effective chemistry—and the expertise to go with it—can help you avoid downtime, audit deductions and water contamination. With proper and holistic processes in place, you can maximize recovery, grade and throughput.
Learn how Nalco Water can help you hit your target.
Today’s copper processing operation requires a calculated combination of safety, profitability, efficiency and product quality while helping to sustain the surrounding environmental resources. Your process depends on a carefully balanced flotation circuit that considers everything from inbound ore and water quality to the correct chemistry within the circuit itself. Nalco Water offers a wide range of frothers and collectors that allow you to optimize your conditions for optimal copper flotation performance.
By choosing the appropriate partner, you can significantly improve recovery and selectivity in your operations, whether you are recovering copper, molybdenum or both. Beyond copper flotation, Nalco Water can partner with you in everything from material handling to tailings management, allowing you to optimize your entire operation from mine to mill.
“Floating Ideas – The Latest Trends in Flotation in the Mineral Processing Industry”
Dr. Nik Zwaneveld discusses flotation trends in mineral processing and the reagent offerings from Nalco Water.

We use decades of industry experience, innovative technologies, local on-site expertise and a global network of research labs and personnel to deliver the copper processing results you need.
Mineral processing optimization can feel like a moving target. Changing ore, an incorrect formulation or failing to balance recovery and grade can impact your bottom line. But Nalco Water has your solution: Flotation 360. This digital technology helps you maximize productivity and optimize your flotation circuit performance.
Optimize your circuit with the predictive capabilities of Flotation 360 to help:
A copper mine in South America partnered with Nalco Water to help achieve their operational goals. The goals included improving recovery through their copper flotation circuit, increasing productivity, and ultimately reducing the total cost of operations while ensuring a safe production environment. By introducing FrothPro 507, a product in our diverse portfolio of frothers, Nalco Water helped the mine save on maintenance and increase recovery by 2,526 tons per year, amounting to $14.98M in value delivered to the customer.

Long-lasting relationships between companies and their suppliers are often based on the confidence generated by good results. This has been the case of the long relationship between Nalco Water and a large copper mine in Spain. The mining company asked Nalco Water to assist them with reducing the amount of heavy metals in discharged water. By introducing NALMET™, a proprietary technology that supports the removal of heavy metals, Nalco Water has helped the mine avoid fines and lost production time due to regulations for over 10 years.
