Metso Outotec is introducing the next generation of its ColumnCell™ flotation cells to the market. The new Metso Outotec ColumnCell™ leverages the company’s legacy technologies, as well as state-of-the-art best practices, delivering superior metallurgical flotation performance and energy efficiency for a wide range of applications and duties.

“In designing the new ColumnCell™, current and future customer needs were carefully studied. The optimized grade is especially important in cleaner circuits and can lead to significantly higher throughput for the entire flotation circuit. Flotation of fines requires specific features: high collection with smaller bubbles to guarantee good recovery, a less turbulent regime and good slurry distribution to avoid bypass, as well as a thicker and more selective froth to generate better product quality. We have designed ColumnCell™ to provide all these features, while also taking into consideration the ore type and the specifics of each project,” explains Antti Rinne, Flotation Vice President at Metso Outotec.

For the optimized performance of column flotation, Metso Outotec offers three sparger technologies: Microcel™ Static mixer, SonicSparger™ Vent and SonicSparger™ Jet. All three sparger options can be replaced online to maximize equipment availability and production rate and to reduce energy consumption due to fewer shutdowns and startups.

Metso Outotec has one of the widest portfolios of flotation solutions on the market. The company’s extensive experience in process planning combined with its installed base enables Metso Outotec to design and deliver complete optimized flotation circuits catering to all types of applications and ores. Over the years, Metso Outotec has delivered close to 300 flotation columns worldwide. The company’s comprehensive service portfolio extends from spares and wears to advanced life cycle services and is backed by a global network of industry-leading service expertise. The wide variety of upgrades enables the restoration of outdated existing technology for optimized flotation performance and the achievement of sustainability targets.

With the introduction of the new ColumnCell™, Microcel™ flotation cell sales will be discontinued.

Metso Outotec is launching NextGen Pelletizing™, a visionary concept for the next generation of pelletizing plants that strive to be carbon-neutral and autonomous. This revolutionary concept is a part of the company’s Planet Positive offering focused on environmentally efficient technologies.

“NextGen Pelletizing™ is yet further proof of our strong commitment to building innovative pelletizing solutions that are sustainable and contribute to climate targets. It offers significant benefits and will help the industry decarbonize, providing an 80 to 90% reduction in CO2 emissions,” says Attaul Ahmad, Vice President, Ferrous and Heat Transfer business at Metso Outotec.

NextGen PelletizingTM offers unmatched benefits

  • Further energy reduction of 5 to 10%
  • CO2 emission reduction of 80 to 90%
  • Production and availability increase of 10 to 15%
  • Improved product homogeneity and quality to support the transition of the steel industry

NextGen Pelletizing™ considers all relevant factors for energy efficiency, plant production, and pellet quality to enable a holistic optimization of the performance of the pelletizing process. It follows a modular approach to minimize the sources of CO2 from the three carbon-intensive steps involved in pelletizing and introduces further improved gas schemes, advanced combustion and burner technology (LowNOx, Hydrogen, and alternative fuels) as well as increased plant stability and performance through advanced process control.

Metso Outotec will invest in establishing its first polymer filter plate production unit in Mexico. With this investment, Metso Outotec is responding to global market demand by increasing its capacity to deliver high-quality polymer filter plates for its mining customers’ filter presses.

The company expects to invest a total of around EUR 28 million to acquire the land and develop the production facilities by 2025. 

2022 09 19 090710The construction work will begin as soon as the acquisition of the land and the planning of the facility have been completed. The construction of the new factory is expected to begin in 2023 and reach full capacity during 2025, following a gradual ramp-up. Once fully operational, the new factory is expected to employ around 60 skilled personnel. 

“Polymer filter plates are strategic and critical spare parts. To serve our customers’ growing needs, we will further develop our supply capabilities by investing in a new state-of-the-art factory where quality and safety are key focus areas. We also have maintained and will maintain a strong network of suppliers globally,” says Tomas Hakala, Senior Vice President, Beneficiation, Dewatering and Hydrometallurgy Services.  

“We have selected Mexico as the target country for reducing lead times, transportation distances, especially to the Americas, and CO2 emissions for our end customers.”

Metso Outotec has high sustainability targets for CO2 for its own operations and the supply chain. The target is to have net-zero CO2 emissions in the company’s own operations by 2030, and a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions from logistics by 2025. In addition, the goal is for 30% of suppliers by spending to commit to the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and set reduction targets for CO2 emissions by 2030.

The new factory will be located in the central region of Mexico, where Metso Outotec already has a rubber and Poly-Met factory.

Auxilium Technology Group (ATG), a startup connected to the University of Arizona, in collaboration with Metso Outotec, is one of two finalists in the BHP Tailings Challenge, an international competition to promote the development of new technologies to reuse mine tailings.

Last year, ATG was one of 10 companies and academic research groups chosen to move on to the laboratory stage of the BHP Tailings Challenge, from an initial field of 154 applicants from 19 countries. Metso Outotec and ATG signed an agreement to collaborate on this initiative, and in April 2022 BHP chose two finalists, ATG and Americas Tailings Inc., a company that has developed a process to turn mine tailings into fertilizer products.

Auxilium Technology Group and Metso Outotec advance with their tailings re-processing solution to the final round of BHP Tailings ChallengeAuxilium Technology Group and Metso Outotec advance with their tailings re-processing solution to the final round of BHP Tailings Challenge

For the next phase, ATG plans to build a pilot tailings processing plant at the San Xavier Underground Mining Laboratory, owned by University of Arizona. Metso Outotec will contribute with advice on engineering and scale up using Metso Outotec products.

Metso Outotec, a partner for positive change and a promoter of sustainable tailings management solutions, supported the ATG process design concept by estimating engineering costs and providing Metso Outotec Plant Solutions technology competence. The concept considers pre-designed plant units known as “Process Islands” for almost all the process areas of the future plant. Metso Outotec’s approach supported the project from optimal equipment sizing to optimizing engineering costs and modularizing the plant to meet future capacity requirements.

Mining companies like BHP are eager to find alternatives for the use of tailings, which are costly to store and regulated under environmental laws because they contain pollutants.

After initial cleaning of the tailings, the proposed process includes use of the material as construction aggregate or an insulating “geofoam” that can be sprayed or 3D printed to produce insulating blocks.
