Mining & Mineral Processing Agents

Stone Peak Industries supports the mineral processing industry with advanced materials for both grinding and flotation. Our high-performance zirconia beads are engineered for efficient mineral grinding, while our specialized hydrometallurgy flotation agents enhance metal recovery from complex ores. Together, these solutions help optimize the processing of critical minerals, such as lithium, nickel, and rare earth elements, vital for emerging technologies like electric vehicle battery manufacturing.

Mineral Grinding Solutions

​Stone Peak's zirconia beads are used in ultra-fine grinding applications for high-value minerals, preparing them into the sub-micro level for flotation, leaching or advanced material synthesis.

 

Examples include:

  • Lithium compounds (spodumene, lithium hydroxide processing)

  • Battery materials (nickel, cobalt compounds)

  • Rare earth elements

  • Precious metals (gold, platinum group metals before flotation)

  • Advanced industrial minerals (kaolin, talc, graphite)

 

Unlike conventional steel grinding media, zirconia is increasingly adopted in high-value applications where contamination is unacceptable and precise particle size control is required. Zirconia's high wear resistance and media lige reduce overall operating costs.

Mineral Processing Chemical Agents

Flotation and Separation Enhancers

To support upstream mineral processing, we provide flotation agents and separation aids that optimize the recovery of target minerals and improve the overall efficiency of ore beneficiation. These chemicals are crucial in achieving high yield and purity in complex ore bodies.
 

  • Selective Collector for Copper-Molybdenum Separation (FT-CM01)

  • Depressants and Dispersants for Multi-metal Ores (FT-DP01 Series)

  • Foaming Agents and Regulators (FT-FR01 Series)

Rare Metal Extraction Agents

Stone Peak offers specialized reagents for the recovery and purification of valuable metals such as rare earth elements, gold, and silver. These products are tailored for high selectivity and cost efficiency, supporting both ore processing and recycling operations.
 

  • Rare Earth Extractant (FT-RE01)

  • Gold Extraction Reagent (FT-Au01)

  • Silver Extraction Agent (FT-Ag01)

  • Tellurium Recovery Agent (FT-Te01)
