Heap leaching:

Oxygen-enriched nanobubbles are infused into the leach solution, which is then delivered to the ore pile. The nanobubbles enhance the chemical reaction that dissolves valuable minerals, such as copper and gold, enabling more efficient extraction.

Froth flotation:

In this process, nanobubbles are introduced into the mineral slurry to increase the concentration of bubbles. They enhance mineral attachment to the bubbles and improve the recovery of both fine and ultrafine mineral particles, which are traditionally difficult to separate.

Brine mining:

For minerals like lithium and potassium, carbon dioxide (\(CO_{2}\)) nanobubbles accelerate the chemical precipitation of the target mineral. This can drastically reduce the extraction time and produce higher-purity products compared to conventional evaporation methods.

Tailings reprocessing:

By improving recovery rates and separating minerals more effectively, nanobubbles can help extract remaining value from low-grade ores or historical tailings, contributing to a more circular economy in mining

Appropriate supply of dissolved oxygen contributes to the increase in the income of fish farmers by increasing production and maintaining longer freshness.

Promote Sustainability

Nanobubble technology helps mining operations become more sustainable and efficient.

Sustainability: Reduced chemical and water usage, improved energy efficiency, and better tailings management contribute to a smaller environmental footprint.

Productivity: Faster reaction times and higher recovery rates for both fine particles and low-grade ores translate into increased productivity and profitability.

Cost efficiency: Enhanced efficiency and reduced need for chemical reagents and water lead to lower operational costs.

Proven Benefits

Nanobubble technology can improve mineral recovery rates, reduce reagent use, and lower the environmental impact of mining operations, particularly in froth flotation and heap leaching processes.
