At BASF Mining Solutions, we are dedicated to delivering innovative solutions that meet our customers' needs while prioritizing safety and sustainability. In a recent case study, we partnered with a customer in Brazil to address their challenges and improve their operations. Working closely together, our experts developed a novel phosphate collector as an alternative to APEO and improved the flotation process, resulting in a high-performing, APEO-free collector that exceeded expectations and was introduced at different customer sites. Lupromin® FP A 712 has not only improved recovery rates by 18% but also reduced CO2 emissions and eliminated the need for hazardous chemicals, enhancing health and safety. Our solution also reduced energy consumption and minimized environmental impact by increasing flotation efficiency and reducing tailings.

Our Cork production site recently celebrated their 13th Annual BASF Ireland Summer School for #chemistry teachers, held at the University College Cork (UCC). This Summer School, organized in collaboration with UCC, the Professional Development Service for Teachers (PDST), and the Irish Science Teachers' Association, continues to make a significant impact in the field of chemistry education. Bringing together chemistry teachers from across Ireland, the BASF Summer School aims to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to teach the subject and ensures that teachers gain hands-on experience and develop innovative teaching techniques.  What started as a one-day event has now evolved into a two-day program due to overwhelming demand and the desire to provide a comprehensive learning experience. By supporting the professional development of chemistry teachers, the Summer School plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of #education in Ireland. It empowers teachers to deliver engaging lessons and equips them with the tools necessary to inspire the next generation of chemists. We extend our gratitude to Denis Beecher, Process Manager, BASF Ireland and Declan Kennedy from UCC for their tireless efforts in organizing this impactful event. Together, we are shaping the future of chemistry education in Ireland. #BASFIreland #BASFSummerSchool #ChemistryTeachers #MiningSolutions

🎯 Transforming Your Mineral Recovery Process Enhance the performance of your flotation circuit with BASF's innovative Luproset™ D 1313. The product is designed to depress organic carbon from floating in copper, lead-zinc, and refractory gold flotation circuits. This innovative formulation is specifically designed to adsorb to naturally hydrophobic organic carbon, turning its surface hydrophilic. Luproset™ D 1313 can significantly improve the recovery of valuable minerals and metals, reducing or even eliminating the need for a pre-flotation stage where losses can occur. Luproset™ D 1313 goes beyond improving recovery rates. It also limits the adsorption of reagents, such as collector, by the porous organic carbon. This prevents unnecessary wastage and ensures that your reagents are utilized to their full potential, resulting in cost savings and operational efficiency. Furthermore, our product helps prevent carbon fouling in your concentrate, resulting in grade improvements. Witness the transformation firsthand as your concentrate becomes cleaner and more valuable. Take the first step towards optimizing your flotation process with Luproset™ D 1313 and contact us today at miningsolutions@basf.com or visist our website at https://lnkd.in/eQM-4dtn

📢 Exciting Partnership Announcement! BASF Mining Solutions and hydroGEOPHYSICS, Inc. Consulting (HGI) have formed a strategic partnership to enhance secondary copper recovery through novel mining technologies. 🌱🔬 With the global demand for copper set to exceed supply due to the green electric revolution, bridging the deficit becomes a major challenge. As ores become more complex and grades decline, building new mines becomes difficult, costly, and time-consuming. To address this challenge, BASF and HGI are combining their expertise in chemical, mineral processing, and geophysical technologies. Heap leach processes, which offer low-cost extraction techniques, often suffer from inefficiencies, leaving large quantities of valuable copper trapped and unrecovered. By leveraging our innovative LixTRA™ leaching aid and HGI's geophysical deep well injection technologies, a secondary recovery solution is created. This solution unlocks trapped copper and significantly increases copper extraction rates. Initial results show a 20% increase in copper recovery, highlighting the significant potential of this collaboration. This strategic partnership between BASF and HGI represents a major step forward in the mining industry. Together, we are committed to maximizing copper recovery and meeting the growing demand in a sustainable and efficient manner.
