ORESORB™

1. Excessive moisture in ores leads to adhesion on conveyor belts, coal bunker clogging, and even creates severe risks during bulk shipping due to cargo liquefaction. 

2. Rising water and energy use for dehumidification, dust control, slurry transport, and drying expand environmental footprint and operating costs.

3. Persistent pain points: airborne dust on roads/stockpiles/crushers, water-rich drilling/processing sludges, unstable tailings rheology, and corrosion/moisture hotspots.

4. Stronger sustainability expectations: closed-loop water, reduced emissions, non-toxic chemistries, and performance in saline/alkaline conditions.

Our Solution：ORESORB™

Dust suppression: creates a moisture-retentive gel layer that binds fines, helping cut dust by ~30–60% (per script context), extending reapplication intervals.

Ore surface dewatering: SAP absorbs excess moisture from the surface of the ore, making the coal slime less sticky and preventing the formation of coal bunker wall adhesion in advance without affecting the coal quality; it can reduce the problem of ore sticking to the conveyor belt due to excessive humidity, thereby improving work efficiency; it can also reduce the risk of wet ore slipping during transportation and causing the cargo ship to capsize.

Sludge/drilling mud solidification: agglomerates and encapsulates fines and water into a cohesive mass with low expansion (~1% volume increase), simplifying cleanup and transport.

Tailings/rheology control: tunes viscosity and yield stress to reduce segregation/settling and support water recovery in closed-loop systems.

Localized dehumidification: used as desiccant packs, coatings, or sealants to build moisture-resistant barriers in critical zones, complementing mechanical systems with lower energy use.

Implementation notes

-Validate dosage via quick jar/field tests considering moisture load, solids %, ionic strength (NaCl/CaCl), temperature, and required handling time.

-Target hotspots first (adhesion, dust, sludge build-up, corrosion) to maximize impact and reduce energy consumption.

-Custom formulations available to match ore type, brine chemistry, particle size distribution, and operational goals.

01Absorb Ore Surface Moisture

Objective: Rapidly remove surface moisture from high-humidity ores to improve screening, crushing, and conveyor throughput.

How ORESORB™ helps:

  - High-capacity uptake (up to 500×) dries wet ore surfaces quickly.

  - Works in saline conditions, maintaining absorption where brines are present.

  - Reduces carryback and sticking, stabilizing feed rates and minimizing shutdowns.

02 Polymer for Green Mining Sludge Management

Objective: Safer, cleaner handling of drilling/milling sludges and process waste; enable transport and disposal with reduced risk.

How ORESORB™ helps:

  - Rapidly solidifies water-rich sludges; promotes agglomeration and encapsulation.

  - Improves Paint Filter Test outcomes to meet landfill acceptance standards.

  - Cuts reliance on bulky absorbents; lowers trucking frequency and costs.

03Dust Suppression Polymer for Ore Mining

Objective: Reduce airborne dust from haul roads, stockpiles, crushers, and conveyors to enhance EH&S compliance and visibility.

How ORESORB™ helps:

  - Moisture retention extends suppression intervals, lowering reapplication rates.

  - Film-forming and binding reduce particle lift-off and drift.

  - Complements mechanical controls; reduces water usage and energy.

04Polymers for Tailings Mining Management

Objective: Improve tailings handling, stability, and water recovery; support closed-loop and sustainable operations.

How ORESORB™ helps:

  - Viscosity and stability control for slurries; reduces segregation and settling issues.

  - Enhances dewatering/solidification where needed to meet handling and disposal criteria.

  - Supports targeted, localized treatment that can reduce energy vs. large mechanical systems.

05Rehabilitation of Waste Mines

Objective: Remediate contaminated sites and waste repositories; control moisture, dust, and migration risks.

How ORESORB™ helps:

  - Moisture management to limit leachate generation and corrosion pathways.

  - Encapsulation/solidification to immobilize fines and reduce dust emissions.

  - Supports closed-loop approaches: capture, treat, and recycle where feasible.
