Flotation Reagents Market: Overview

Flotation reagents are chemicals used for the separation of materials based on their affinity with water. Flotation reagents are majorly used for maintaining proper froth characteristics in froth floatation processes. Froth flotation is used in various industrial processes for the separation of finely-liberated minerals. Air bubbles are poured into a mixture of finely divided ores or other materials with water and flotation reagents that separate bubbles and particles of the desired materials further, resulting in its recovery as froth. Reagents are the most important part of a flotation process.

Flotation Reagents Market: Growth Factors

The global flotation reagents market is expected to witness substantial growth over the forecast time period, owing to the increasing investments made in the mining industry and rising number of stringent government regulations for water and wastewater treatment. The modern classification of reagents is based on its functions. Froth flotation is the most widely used method for ore beneficiation. In ore beneficiation, valuable minerals are separated from other minerals by inducing them to gather on the surface of a froth layer. Floatation reagents have diverse applications, such as ore beneficiation, wastewater treatment, etc. The increasing demand for better water treatment, stringent environmental regulations related to water, declining volumes of water wastage, and rising investments in the mining industry have further fuelled the flotation reagents market. However, the rising environmental concerns related to mining chemicals may hamper the growth of the global flotation reagents market.
