Polyacrylamide for wet metallurgy

Application scenarios

Chemical Dissolution of Ores

Liquid-Phase Metal Processing

Metal Enrichment Operations

Final Metal or Compound Recovery

Hydrometallurgy is a process where ores undergo chemical reactions to transfer valuable metals from the raw materials into the liquid phase. Subsequently, the various valuable metals contained in the liquid phase are separated and enriched, and finally recovered in the form of metals or other compounds.

Solution

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is primarily used for solid-liquid separation in hydrometallurgy, including processes such as the separation of leachate and leaching residues, countercurrent washing of precious metal leaching residues, and purification of leachate.
