Formation of Stable Agglomerates

The compaction process produces dense, stable agglomerates with improved physical integrity and resistance to environmental degradation. The resulting pellets are compacted, water resistant, and mechanically robust.

Because the MAT agglomeration fluid is water based, it does not materially alter the behaviour or characteristics of the underlying mineral feedstock, allowing the agglomerates to remain:

• Compatible with conventional handling and downstream processing
• Agglomerates are significantly easier to manage than loose fines.
• They resist dust generation
• Do not readily break back into fine particles
• Can be transported, stored, and processed using standard bulk material handling systems.

The resulting product can be stored, transported, or reintroduced into mineral recovery or downstream processing operations.
