Product Description
Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol (MIBC) is a transparent liquid and an outstanding frother widely used in mineral beneficiation. Known for its excellent performance in separating non-ferrous metal oxide ores and fine-grained sulfide ores with high mud content, MIBC significantly improves concentrate quality. It is extensively applied in the processing of lead-zinc, copper-molybdenum, and copper-gold ores, ensuring optimal results in mineral flotation operations.
Key Features and Benefits
Superior Frothing Performance:
- Delivers exceptional frothing capability for non-ferrous metals and non-metallic minerals.
- Enhances concentrate quality by optimizing the separation of valuable minerals.
Wide Applicability:
- Ideal for the beneficiation of lead-zinc, copper-molybdenum, and copper-gold ores.
- Particularly effective for ores with high mud content and fine-grained sulfide compositions.
Ease of Use:
- Easily incorporated into flotation processes, with dosage adjusted based on on-site requirements.
Consistency and Reliability:
- Manufactured to high-quality standards, ensuring consistent performance across applications.
Composition
- Additional Component: Water
Applications
Non-Ferrous Metal Oxide Ores:
- Provides excellent frothing for efficient separation of oxide ores.
Fine-Grained Sulfide Ores:
- Particularly suited for ores with fine particle size and high mud content.
Global Mining Beneficiation:
- Widely used in lead-zinc, copper-molybdenum, and copper-gold mines to enhance concentrate grade.
Packaging and Storage
Packaging:
- Supplied in 830 kg IBC drums for safe and efficient handling.
Storage:
- Store in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
- Avoid exposure to strong oxidizing or reducing agents and open flames.
- Follow proper handling and storage practices to maintain product quality.
Safety and Handling
Precautions:
- Avoid the formation of dust and aerosols during use.
- Prevent contact with skin and eyes by wearing suitable protective clothing, gloves, and eye/face protection.
- Train operating personnel and adhere strictly to operating instructions.
Hazards:
- Prolonged exposure can cause irritation to skin and eyes. Proper PPE is essential.
Environmental Impact
Eco-Conscious Design:
- The majority of MIBC binds with concentrates and is destroyed in subsequent processing operations.
- Minimal residue is transferred to tailings; avoid release into water systems to prevent environmental contamination.
Usage Tips and Shelf Life
- Adjust dosage based on specific site conditions to achieve optimal performance.
- Avoid violent impacts during transportation to prevent spills or damage.
- Shelf life: 12 months under proper storage conditions.
