It’s time to go back to the basics of biology… For centuries chemicals have been used in almost every industry, product and application. The reason? Because people didn’t understand how to use biology. Now, that’s changing… Locus FS stands at the forefront of a crucial shift towards leveraging biologicals that outperform chemicals and tackle global industry challenges. Delve into how the company’s team of experts is developing 100% bio-based solutions for a cleaner, greener and more sustainable future. We're making industries better with biology. #EarthDay #EarthDay2024 #EarthDayEveryDay #BetterwithBiology #Biology #Microbiology #Chemistry #Chemicals #Sustainability #Biobased #Biologicals #Biosurfactants #Fermentation #Science

Can biosurfactants replace harsh chemicals in iron ore purification? Today at #SME2024MN, Dr. Ronney Silva presents ground-breaking research on using eco-friendly biosurfactants to improve cationic reverse flotation efficiency for #ironore purification. The customized DOE consisted of 145 flotation experiments evaluating: - 11 reagents - 1 numeric factor - 2-level categoric factor If you're at SME's 2024 Minnesota Conference, swing by the Lake Superior O room at 10am or contact us for more details on the findings. #miningindustry #mining #mineralprocessing Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration Inc.

We believe one-size-fits-all solutions don't cut it. That's why we develop optimized biosurfactant technologies tailored to specific #mineralprocessing needs. Here's a look at the molecules that drive the science, courtesy of our parent company, Locus Fermentation Solutions.
Surfactants. These ingredients play a crucial role in every industry, from agriculture to energy to consumer products. But there’s a big change happening…a shift from chemical surfactants to biobased surfactants. Here’s the twist: not all biobased surfactants are created equal. And not all offer the same benefits. At Locus FS, we're leading the charge in the transition to 100% biobased surfactants. Specifically, fermentation-produced biosurfactants made from renewable raw materials. One of the things that sets our biosurfactants apart is their complex molecular structure. They have more active sites per molecule, giving them multiple functionalities within a single product formulation. The result? Enhanced efficiency and lower usage rates compared to traditional and even other biobased surfactants. Sustainability + Performance. For industries ready to make the switch to safer, more sustainable ingredients, Locus FS has it covered. #GreenChemistry #Biobased #Surfactants #Biosurfactants #Glycolipids #Sophorolipids #Science #Microbiology #Biomanufacturing #Fermentation #Sutainability

Bank of America metal strategists report the #copper supply crisis is already here. WHY: - Demand surges for electric vehicles & green technologies - Shortage of new mines projects to meet rising supply needs However, this challenge is also a lucrative opportunity for proactive mining companies using #minieralprocessing technologies like biosurfactants. As presented at SME's #MINEXCHANGE2024, these ESG-friendly reagents easily integrate into existing plants, and have already demonstrated superior recovery & selectivity for copper, gold and more. Check out Business Insider's report for details, including the significant price increases predicted for these metals. #miningindustry #energytransition #coppercrisis #CERAWeek

Did you know Chilean mines can consume ~70 cubic meters of fresh water to produce just 1 ton of #copper? As water scarcity & critical mineral demands rise, performance-focused, eco-friendly solutions like biosurfactant reagents are more critical than ever for the #miningindustry. In addition to reducing water consumption & boosting mineral extraction, biosurfactants are making a huge impact in other sectors like #oilandgas and #agriculture.
