Home CMC & PAC Mining Grade

What is CMC & PAC

Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is usually made by the reaction of natural cellulose and caustic soda and a chlorine acetic acid made after the production of an anionic polymer.

It is cellulose carboxymethyl ether sodium salt, an anionic cellulose ether, white or milky white fibrous powder or granules. CMC can be widely used in various industries, for example Food, Pharm, Ceramic, Textile, Paint, Paper-making, Detergent etc.

The international community to this new type of modified CMC also known as “polyanionic cellulose (abbreviated PAC)”. PAC is typically used in Oil drilling industry.

THE FUNCTION OF CMC IN THE MINING INDUSTRY
CMC is a versatile compound used primarily as a binder, thickener, and stabilizer in mining applications, such as in the beneficiation of minerals, coal, and other mineral processing applications

CMC helps reduce water consumption, enhance mineral extraction efficiency, and improve the overall sustainability of mining operations. It is biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to other chemicals used in mining.

CMC is available in several grades depending on its purity and viscosity. Low-viscosity grades are typically used in processes that do not require high thickening, whereas high-viscosity grades are used for applications requiring enhanced binding or stabilization. These grades offer flexibility across different mining operations, with each grade serving a distinct purpose, such as improving slurry handling or providing superior water retention for ore beneficiation.

CMC is used in a variety of end-user industries, including coal mining, iron ore processing, and precious metal extraction. In coal mining, CMC helps improve the efficiency of flotation processes and coal agglomeration. In iron ore processing, CMC is used to enhance the beneficiation process, and in precious metal extraction, it plays a role in improving recovery rates while reducing environmental risks.

CMC is available in several grades depending on its purity and viscosity. Low-viscosity grades are typically used in processes that do not require high thickening, whereas high-viscosity grades are used for applications requiring enhanced binding or stabilization.
