Revolution in Mining: Formula Found to Eliminate Dust

GREEN Chemicals A.Ş., operating for 22 years in the chemical sector with 100 percent domestic capital and innovative manufacturing approaches, achieved a first in Turkey through its R&D work with the MINE-Treat^® brand, a mining industry product developed in-house, by finding the formula for dust-free operations in mines. Designed to raise production quality to the highest level in the mining field, the new product has led to widespread use in gold and silver mines as well as coal mines. Through MINE-Treat^®, mining operations suppress and control dust generated on roads, in storage areas and in processes.

From Fruit Oils to Clean and Safe Mines

GREEN Chemicals' Dust Control Program suppresses and controls dust generated on roads through environmentally sensitive surfactants and MINE-Treat^®, which also contains minerals derived from various fruit oils, thereby protecting human health and environmental safety. Cengiz AY, Deputy General Manager of GREEN Chemicals, provided information on the subject and noted that through this product they have developed, they prevent harmful conditions that dust could cause to human health and the environment while providing savings in fuel, energy and water. Cengiz AY also stated that they assist in smooth and more efficient operation of production processes in all mines, particularly those engaged in gold and silver production. He added that MINE-Treat^® and its auxiliary substances consist of specially formulated products such as flotation chemicals, viscosity adjusters, high-performance scale inhibitor antiscalants and dispersants containing high-performance chemical technology.

Environment-Friendly Chemicals for Mining Development

The MINE-Treat^® range is an environmentally friendly, biodegradable technology that GREEN Chemicals presents to the mining sector for energy optimization and sustainable performance, creating a thin protective layer on the extracted ore. Among the advantages of the product, which holds great importance for mining development, are notable features such as reduction in the number of watering equipment, decrease in water consumption and maintenance costs, and prevention of ore losses. The main reasons for the product's preference in the mining industry include its low cost, fuel and energy savings, making mine roads safer, and reducing accidents.
