Improve gold tailings settling, thickener overflow clarity, and controlled water recovery with oil-based EA 6520 and water-based EWA 7520 screening options.
Gold tailings can contain finely ground quartz, clays, sulfides, carbonaceous material, and residual process reagents. Cyanide or alternative leach circuits also impose strict water-quality and safety controls.
Polymer is selected to improve solid-liquid separation. It does not replace cyanide detoxification or treatment for dissolved contaminants, and testing must preserve the actual process-water chemistry.
Blufloc anionic PAM emulsion promotes settling and thickening of gold mine tailings for clearer overflow and improved water recovery.
Grade selection considers ore mineralogy, grinding size, leach chemistry, residual reagents, thickener conditions, and downstream water reuse.
Fine grinding, mineral surfaces, dissolved ions, process reagents, feedwell energy, and water-reuse limits all influence settling, clarification, and underflow control.
Finely ground quartz, clay, sulfide, and carbonaceous particles may remain suspended and settle slowly.
Leach, flotation, or detoxification reagents can change surface chemistry and polymer adsorption.
Clear-looking overflow may still fail reuse limits because of dissolved species or residual reagents.
Floc must survive feedwell shear while supporting the required underflow and storage conditions.
Very-high-molecular-weight APAM bridges destabilized mineral particles into larger aggregates. The optimum anionic degree depends on mineral surfaces, hardness, salinity, and residual reagents. Floc strength must match feedwell and thickener shear.
Activate and dilute the selected emulsion, then distribute it evenly at the intended process stage.
Long APAM chains adsorb onto multiple mineral particles and build larger, faster-settling floc.
Preserve floc through the thickener and verify both solids separation and recovered-water chemistry.
Compare candidates at equal active polymer mass using representative tailings after the actual process stage where polymer will be applied.
| Grade | Base | Molecular Weight | Charge | Suggested Screening Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EA 6520 | Oil-based | Very High | High anionic | Primary high-bridging candidate for fine gold tailings |
| EWA 7520 | Water-based | Very High | Medium anionic | Water-based comparator for different mineral and water chemistry |
The product pages classify the cationic EC and EWC series as high molecular weight and the anionic EA and EWA grades as very high molecular weight. Confirm exact commercial specification limits, active content, viscosity, shelf life, and preparation instructions on the current grade-specific TDS and order specification.
Use representative tailings after the real process stage where the polymer will be applied.
Preserve process-water chemistry and follow all site cyanide, reagent, containment, and PPE procedures.
Compare settling, clarity, floc strength, and compaction using repeatable thickener-like mixing.
Assess reuse suitability against site chemistry requirements rather than relying on appearance alone.
Validate the preferred grade under realistic ore blend, leach conditions, throughput, and hydraulic loading.
EA 6520 is the main high-anionic screen for very fine gold tailings. EWA 7520 provides a medium-anionic water-based comparison. Major changes in ore mineralogy, grind, leach chemistry, detoxification conditions, or recycled water should trigger a separate grade and dose review.
Neat-emulsion price per kilogram can be misleading. Compare on active polymer mass and include preparation efficiency, dose, equipment throughput, overflow chemistry, underflow quality, water reuse, and downstream disposal cost.
If overflow looks clear but cannot be reused, identify dissolved species or residual reagents. Flocculation addresses suspended solids; it does not remove every dissolved contaminant or replace the site's cyanide control and detoxification process.
If floc breaks in the feedwell, optimize activation, dilution, addition points, distribution, and mixing energy before increasing the dose or changing molecular-weight demand.
Keep the package sealed in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect it from direct sunlight, freezing, and excessive heat.
Follow the grade-specific TDS and SDS for shelf life, handling limits, and transport classification. Polymer spills can make floors extremely slippery and should be contained and cleaned promptly.
For gold tailings settling, thickening, and water recovery, Bluwat can screen adjacent PAM emulsion grades, review preparation and dosing conditions, and help define a plant-trial plan using agreed separation, chemistry, reuse, and cost indicators.
Confirm the required grade specification and order documentation before production and shipment.
Shortlist products under realistic pH, temperature, solids, mineralogy, leach chemistry, residual reagents, and shear.
Supply clear make-down, dilution, dosing, feedwell, safety, and scale-up recommendations for the selected grade.
Adjust charge level, dose, addition point, dilution, or mixing conditions using plant-trial data.
No. APAM is a flocculant for suspended solids. Cyanide management requires the site's dedicated control, monitoring, and detoxification process.
Only if it meets the site's process, safety, and environmental requirements. Visual clarity alone does not confirm that dissolved species or residual reagents are acceptable.
Yes. Clay, sulfides, carbonaceous material, grind size, hardness, salinity, and reagent conditions can change polymer adsorption, dose, floc strength, and settling.
Use site-approved sampling, containment, PPE, reagent-handling, and waste procedures. Review the product SDS and the site's cyanide or alternative-leach safety requirements.
Screen EA 6520 and EWA 7520 with representative gold tailings, controlled carrier-specific preparation, actual process-water chemistry, and thickener-like mixing. Confirm the preferred grade using settling, overflow chemistry, underflow density, reuse suitability, safety, and total cost.
