Application

Dextrin, with the general formula (C₆H₁₂O₅)n, is used in gold mining as a flocculant and binder in the processing of ore slurries. It aids in the aggregation of fine particles and enhances the settling rate of slurries, which improves the separation of gold-bearing minerals during flotation. Dextrin also helps in stabilizing the froth and optimizing the efficiency of the flotation process, thereby increasing gold recovery and overall process performance.
