Global Froth Flotation Chemicals Market

Froth flotation is a process by which hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic are separated. It is concentration process and the reagents required for it can be classified into following-Frothers, Activators, Depressants, Promoters, Sulphidizers, and Regulators. Among these, Frothers are used to build the froth which acts as a buoyant medium and used to separate floatable from non-floatable minerals. It is mainly used in mineral processing, waste-water treatment, and paper recycling industry.

End-user/Technology

--> These chemicals are mainly used recovering minerals from the slurry, purification of certain minerals, separation of certain impurities and other applications

--> Vast application in pulp and paper industry, paper recycling and deinking waste paper, where the contaminants are mainly printing ink and stickies

--> These chemicals are used to separate pine oil from gangue by using differences in their hydrophobicity

--> Froth floatation chemicals are also used to remove oil, fats, grease and suspended solids from waste water

Market Dynamics

Consumption of mining chemicals has increased at a rapid pace as lower quality ore need an increased usage of refining chemicals.Also, research in areas like tailored reagents, shift towards thedevelopment of environment-friendly chemicals, shift towards glycol based Frothers and advancements in flotation chemicals for phosphate and iron ore etc. is expected to drive market growth.

Market Segmentation

The global froth flotation chemicals market can be segmented in terms of end-user industry. On the basis of application, it can be segmented into

--> Minerals

--> Oil & Gas (bitumen extraction)

--> Food & beverage

--> Industrial waste & sewage treatment

--> Others (plastic cycling, electric power etc.)

Regional/Geographic Analysis

Globally in terms of revenue, Asia-Pacific region is expected to hold the highest market share and also the highest growth rate. The market is mainly driven by the increase in mining activities in mineral-rich countries like Canada, Mexico, Australia etc. Also, China is expected to be a major extractor of gold followed by South Africa and set to consume 50% of total mining chemicals globally. In case of emerging countries, increase in construction activities and large-scale urbanization has been an important driver of this market.
