Evonik, a world leader in specialty chemicals, will be present at the 2024 edition of ABM WEEK, the largest technical-scientific event in Latin America in the fields of metallurgy, materials, and mining, to take place from September 3-5 at Pro Magno Centro de Eventos, in São Paulo (SP). The company’s highlights in this edition will be its solutions that combine high performance, low toxicity, and sustainability, thus demonstrating its commitment to ‘green’ chemistry. 

Commitment to sustainability

Evonik’s biosurfactants, like AROSURF® SR 1975, will be presented as examples of products that not only provide high performance but also reduce the environmental impact. “These biosurfactants are so gentle that they are used in products such as face makeup and even toothpaste. Yet in mining these same gentle materials have been tested as flotation boosters and the results showed that they contribute to improving the recovery of essential minerals and the quality of the concentrate, thus facilitating the transition to a low-carbon economy”, says Raymond Pieternella, Global Marketing Director at Evonik. 

Interaction with the public and technical presentation

During the event, Evonik will also encourage direct interactions with the public at its booth, where samples of products and informative materials will be available. Evonik will bring samples of its REWOFERM® SL 446 (sophorolipid) and AROSURF® SR 1975 (rhamnolipid) biosurfactants. In addition to standing out for their superior performance and extremely low toxicity, they are readily biodegradable, which reinforces Evonik’s focus on sustainable solutions for the mining industry.  Another product to be shown is TOMAMINE® M-3513, known for its fast interface dynamics, which is ideal for processes that demand efficiency, lower amine usage and lower silica in reverse iron ore flotation.  

In addition, Cristiano Sales, Technical Coordinator for Mining Applications, will give a lecture entitled “Sustainable Foamers for Improved Zinc Silicate Flotation Performance”, showing how Evonik’s biosurfactants have been effective in improving recovery and quality of mineral concentrate while maintaining the focus on sustainability and operating efficiency.

A consolidated presence in the mining market

Evonik reinforces its prominent position in the mining market, where it leads in cationic collectors for reverse iron one flotation.  The company has been expanding its offer of high-performance chemical products for several applications, from mineral processing to dust and drainage control, always with a strong commitment to innovation and sustainability.
