Pionera Reagents Improve Mineral Processing

Borregaard provides sustainable, specific solutions for mineral beneficiation processes. 

Heavy media separation 

In gravity separation, the Pionera® biopolymers achieve higher recoveries and improve plant efficiency.

Milling aids 

The addition of our products increases milling efficiency, providing finer particle sizes.

Electrowinning and electro-refining 

Sustainable Pionera products are crystal growth modifiers and smoothing agents, allowing for better metal deposition on cathode plates.

Scale inhibitors 

Pionera biopolymers reduce gypsum and calcite scale deposition in reactors and pipelines.

Self-heating ore inhibitors 

Pionera products minimise the atmospheric oxidation of sulfide ore concentrates, avoiding dangerous overheating in handling, storage and transportation.
