Liquid Filtration Applications For Mining Processes

Mining processes vary extensively depending on the material being mined, such as iron, copper, and gold, and the nature of the ore body. These processes include conventional milling, grinding, and smelting processes as well as leaching and extraction processes. All of the above processes require significant amounts of process water for a wide range of uses. This customer application brief describes common applications within mining processes where process water quality is critical, identifies the benefits of filtration, and provides guidelines for selection of the appropriate 3M Purification Inc. filter solution.
