Common Mining Applications

Assay Lab Sample Preparation

Used to clean crucibles, dissolve organic residues from sample material, and rinse glassware between analyses to prevent cross-contamination in fire assay and wet chemistry workflows

Equipment Degreasing and Maintenance

Removes grease, hydraulic fluid, and oil buildup from drilling components, conveyor parts, and processing equipment prior to inspection, welding, or recoating

Core Sample and Specimen Cleaning

Prepares geological core samples and mineral specimens by dissolving surface contaminants without altering the underlying mineral composition

Surface Preparation for Protective Coatings

Cleans metal surfaces on structural steel, pipe fittings, and equipment housings before applying protective coatings or adhesives in corrosive mine environments

Solvent Flushing in Extraction Circuits

Used to flush and clean solvent extraction (SX) lines, settlers, and mixers during maintenance shutdowns or when switching reagent systems

Technical grade acetone serves multiple roles across mining operations:

Handling and Storage for Mining Environments

Acetone is a highly flammable solvent. Mining sites — with their heavy equipment, ignition sources, and remote locations — demand strict adherence to handling protocols.

  • Review the SDS before first use and ensure all personnel handling acetone have completed appropriate hazard communication training
  • Wear proper PPE: Chemical-resistant gloves, splash-proof safety goggles, and in poorly ventilated areas, appropriate respiratory protection
  • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, open flames, sparks, and oxidizing materials. A dedicated flammable liquids storage cabinet or room is recommended
  • Keep containers sealed when not in use to minimize vapor accumulation and evaporative loss
  • Ground and bond containers during transfer operations to prevent static discharge
  • Follow MSHA, OSHA, and all applicable local regulations for flammable solvent handling on mine sites
  • Maintain spill response materials appropriate for flammable solvents in storage and use areas
