The use of conditioning tanks for reagent addition at the beginning of flotation circuits has been standard practice for decades in the mining and refining industry. Today, new developments are making conditioning more efficient and effective, further cementing their necessity in all flotation circuit designs. Dynamix provides engineered solutions to meet the unique conditioning tank agitators requirements for all sizes and types of conditioning tanks. Our GMX and NMX agitator lines have the versatility to face these unique challenges. How Conditioning Affects Flotation Circuit Operations Froth flotation is often the only economically viable option for selective separation of complex ores. The process relies on collectors, reagents that bind with the minerals in the slurry to facilitate separation. These reagents are

While top entry mixers are most common in Industrial Processing, many of the same industries require Side Entry Mixers. These mixer are common to Petrochemical, wastewater treatment, mining, and agrochemical processes which implement side entry mixers to meet storage and blending requirements. But, knowing which processes need side entry or top entry can result in massive energy savings, and process control. Dynamix designs versatile mixers with unique features to meet your process requirements. How Side Entry Mixing Fits Into Your Process The decision to use side entry rather than top entry mixers is based on careful evaluation of process requirements and the impact on product quality and capital and operating costs. The most common applications for side entry mixers are

Inline mixers are a highly efficient solution for mixing in process. Often confused with Static Mixers, they are commonly referred to as Dynamic Inline Mixers as well. Dynamic inline mixing sees wide use in the wastewater treatment, mining and oil refining industries. Inline mixing is exceptional at delivering high-shear mixing and blending while reducing both capital costs, footprint, and installation time. In comparison to Static Mixers, Dynamic Inline Mixers do not influence head pressure, or clogging. Energy is focused only on the required reaction, leaving your process control and flow rate unaffected. Often, we can provide an inline mixing solution that will deliver the same results as a tank mixer while saving time, money, and space for the facility. Design

Most jurisdictions around the world require remediation of cyanide and cyanide metal complexes in gold leaching tailings. Whether through cyanide destruction or cyanide recovery, an additional step is added to the process. There are many distinct chemical processes for cyanide remediation, each presenting unique challenges. Dynamix’s GMX and NMX lines can provide engineered cyanide destruction agitators for any size or type of operation. Cyanide Destruction Agitators for SO2/Air Processes The most widespread cyanide destruction technique in current use is the INCO process. The process supplies SO2 and air, or oxygen, in order to convert free cyanide and cyanide in metal complexes to cyanate. Cyanate, an oxidized form of cyanide, is significantly less toxic and is suitable for discharged to the

Optimizing Gold Leaching Agitators for Increased Yield Designing optimal gold leaching agitators means considering many nuanced and often competing factors. Dynamix provides innovative engineered solutions that improve yield by controlling solids suspension, gas dispersion, and carbon attrition. The NMX line of agitators and Dynaflow™ impellers offer practical solutions for both carbon-in-pulp (CIP) and carbon-in-leach (CIL) gold leaching circuits. Technical Challenges for Gold Leaching Agitators By far the most common leaching process, gold cyanidation produces a complex ion of gold and cyanide, called aurocyanide. Activated carbon then adsorbs the aurocyanide from the ore slurry, with CIP circuits having adsorption in a separate train, while CIL employs countercurrent adsorption in the main leaching tanks. The production of aurocyanide requires gold, cyanide, oxygen,

Agricultural mixing covers a wide range of applications, including fertilizers, seed treatment, and crop protection. Dynamix’s line of Integrated Tote Mixers (ITM) provides a versatile solution in all of these areas. The detachable drive segment easily switched between multiple mixers. Your tote can become a process vessel, providing optimal control over mixing efficiency, uniformity, and suspension. Uniform Fertilizer Suspensions for Agricultural Mixing Liquid fertilizers are an essential part of most farming operations. The necessary quantities of nutrients may be present in the fertilizer solution, but proper mixing is critical to ensuring the proper dosage is distributed. During storage, separation and settling lead to an uneven distribution that will result in crops receiving too little or too much fertilizer. Dynamix ITM
