Mining Quality Control Problems We Help Solve
Quality variations in mining materials and processing chemicals can affect recovery, process stability, production costs and supplier performance. When a material behaves differently from an approved reference or previous batch, chemical and material analysis can help identify what has changed.
Labsure provides practical mining quality control, mineral analysis and mining material testing services in Australia for mining companies, mineral processors, raw material suppliers and mining chemical suppliers.
We can compare current and reference samples, investigate unexpected material changes, and identify differences in chemical composition, mineral phases, particle size, morphology or chemical characteristics.
- Supplier Batch Changed Your new batch performs differently from previous material.
- Raw Material Quality Variation Mineral composition, particle size or impurities vary between deliveries.
- Flotation Performance Changes Changes in collectors, frothers or other reagents may affect processing performance.
- Unknown Mineral Material You need to understand the composition or mineral phases of an unfamiliar material.
- Supplier Disputes You need independent analytical evidence to compare two materials.
- Process Troubleshooting A change in feedstock, reagent or material properties may be contributing to an unexpected process result.
