Flotation Frothers
Frother reagents are principally added to a flotation pulp to:

• Improve dispersion of air throughout the pulp by the formation and stabilisation of fine
air bubbles and,
• Form a mineralised froth at the top of the flotation cell, producing a froth phase.

A transient froth is a prerequisite for the

successful transport of mineral laden bubbles
from the pulp zone/froth zone interface to the
concentrate launder and rejection of gangue
material from the froth (i.e. returned to the
pulp via froth drainage).

Alcohols, alkoxy substituted paraffins and

polyglycols are the three basic chemical
groups that dominate in frother selection and
their application. Methyl isobutyl carbinol
(MIBC) is the best known example of alcohol
frother used in froth flotation. The alkoxy substituted paraffin type frothers, of which triethoxy
butane (TEB) is the main frother in use, can be loosely associated with the polyglycol ethers on the
basis of both structure and performance. The Huntsman Performance Products flotation frothers are
inclusive of low molecular weight alcohol based frothers and polyglycol ethers formed from
condensation of alkylene oxides with lower alcohols. Each group provides particular characteristics
which affect load support, bubble diameter, water retention and drainage, air dispersion, and froth
formation kinetics.

POLYFROTH® Frother Series Product Range

Huntsman Performance Products has successfully developed the POLYFROTH®

 POLYFROTH®
range of frothers for froth flotation. The POLYFROTH® frother series aims to deliver
W22 FROTHER
the full spectrum of frother properties and strengths required in mineral and coal
Copper Ore
flotation applications, and has been the result of the evaluation of both common
and novel chemical compounds in laboratory and pilot flotation tests and extensive
plant trials around the globe. Huntsman’s range of flotation frothers includes
alcohols, glycol ethers and blends, polyglycols, and blends of proprietary chemicals,
and covers the full range of requirements, from low strength for selective flotation
through to high strength for coarse particle recovery.

 POLYFROTH®
They range from the POLYFROTH® 50 series of frothers which are recognised as H27 FROTHER
strong frothers, to the POLYFROTH® 30 series which are intermediate strength Copper Gold
frothers, to the POLYFROTH® 20 series which are low to moderate strength
frothers, through to the POLYFROTH® 10 frother series which is the weakest and
most selective of the range.

This unique range of frothing properties and selectivity is what gives the different
Huntsman POLYFROTH® frothers their application and performance benefits in all
 POLYFROTH®
mineral sectors of the mining industry, including base metal sulphides, precious
W55 FROTHER
metals (gold, silver, PGEs), industrial minerals, coal and various other non-
Nickel Ore
sulphides.

This unique range of frothing properties and selectivity is what gives the
different Huntsman POLYFROTH® frothers their application and performance
benefits in a wide range of flotation situations.

As a group the POLYFROTH® frothers offer high metallurgical grades with low water
carry-over into the concentrate. The POLYFROTH® frothers are typically easily
dispersible in water and have low volatility that gives very good froth efficiency. They
have a low level of toxicity and odour, lower VOC (Volatile Organic Carbon) emissions
and most are non-flammable. The greater froth persistence, together with higher
water solubility of selected frothers in the POLYFROTH® frother product series, can
offer the option of a simpler single point addition. Client experience has shown dose
rates that are typically less than those for other alcohol- and glycol ether-based
frother blends.

Our frothers aim to provide improved safety, health and environmental

outcomes resulting in lower compliance costs associated with their
transportation, storage, handling and use.

Huntsman Performance Products Frothers and Carbon Fouling

It is well known that many chemical reagents may reduce the activity of activated carbon used in gold recovery
operations employing carbon in leach (CIL) and carbon in pulp (CIP) processes. These reagents include
collectors, frothers, oils and many other commonly used activators and depressants. Several independent
studies into the extent of fouling on active carbon exposed to a number of Huntsman Performance Product’s
frothers in typical mine process water, and subsequent recovery of activity after thermal regeneration (Study
2), have been conducted with the results summarised below.

Carbon Reference 100 100 100 100

These studies have shown that only a small loss in carbon activity due to frother adsorption occurs, that can be
readily recovered by normal carbon regeneration techniques. Thermal regeneration of fouled carbon samples
returns carbon activity to greater than 100% (Study 2), indicating that appropriate selection of regeneration
conditions can completely remove any absorbed frother and return the carbon to full activity. The conditions of
regeneration used during this test were ideal, and it is unlikely that plant regeneration will produce material
with this level of activity. However, optimisation of the plant regeneration conditions will maximise the
removal of organic foulants such as frothers.

Thermal gravimetric analysis work has shown that glycol based frothers, including products from the
°
POLYFROTH® frother range, are removed from carbon active sites at temperatures between 200 - 600 C. In
addition, there is no evidence of organic residues remaining on the carbon surface after regeneration nor any
evidence to indicate a cumulative fouling effect due to successive exposure/regeneration cycles. The
conclusion is that any resultant loss in carbon activity due to frother adsorption can be readily recovered by
normal carbon regeneration techniques.

Competition for carbon active sites by frother can be reduced by careful selection of the correct frother. An
efficient frother that performs at lower dose rates and reports to the flotation concentrate will minimise
frother contact with the carbon and thus reduce the effects of carbon fouling.

Other Frother Product Information

Handling and Storage

The Huntsman Performance Products frother range can be supplied in drums, IBC schutz boxes (totes) and as
bulk isotanks. With the exception of POLYFROTH® H20, POLYFROTH® W22 and POLYFROTH® H27 frothers, all
Huntsman frother products are essentially anhydrous and are not corrosive to common metals. They can be
stored in mild steel or stainless steel tanks (316 and 304 stainless steel).

POLYFROTH® H20, POLYFROTH® W22 and POLYFROTH® H27 frothers should only be stored in stainless steel
tanks (316 and 304 stainless steel) or epoxy lined mild steel containers. Unlined mild steel tanks and transfer
lines should be avoided.

Materials Compatibility
Wire reinforced polypropylene is the preferred material for hoses. Compressed asbestos fibre (CAF) is
satisfactory for pipework gaskets, and butyl elastomers and TEFLON® polymer (PTFE) are recommended for
seals and valve seats.

Copper and its alloys, including brass, may cause some discolouration of the products.

Product Integrity
Maximum effective storage life will be achieved by storing products in sealed containers indoors, away from
sunlight and heat sources. Because Huntsman Performance Products cannot control the storage and use
conditions of its products, it is not possible to prescribe absolute shelf life. However, as a guide it is
recommended that products in storage be checked against published sales specifications after 2 years.

Environmental Profile
All Huntsman frothers have a low level of volatility, toxicity and odour and are non-flammable. They are not
classified as dangerous goods for transport by road, rail, air or sea.

Biodegradability of Huntsman Flotation Reagents

Biodegradability
Huntsman Performance Products has commissioned biodegradability tests on a range of surfactants from
which it is possible to infer the biodegradability of the POLYFROTH®, TERIC® and UNIFROTH® flotation reagents
(frothers) included in this brochure. From these studies and from Huntsman Performance Products operational
experience, it is estimated that Huntsman flotation frother products will not persist indefinitely in the
environment.
