Introduction
In the flotation process, achieving stable and effective foam formation is critical for the separation of target minerals. For ores with high mud content, fine particles, and complex gangue interference, froth stability can significantly impact recovery rates and concentrate grades. Frother Q25, a high-performance flotation reagent, is specifically designed to create large, uniform, and stable foam, improving flotation efficiency for both non-ferrous and precious metal ores.
With excellent foaming properties, low odor, and versatility in various flotation circuits, Frother Q25 has become an essential solution for modern mineral beneficiation operations.

Application
- Introduce Frother Q25 at the conditioning stage or directly into the flotation circuit to ensure uniform distribution.
-
Monitoring
- Continuously monitor the froth quality and recovery performance to optimize the dosage and achieve desired results.
-
Combination Use
- Frother Q25 can be combined with collectors and other reagents for tailored flotation solutions in complex ore systems.
5. Environmental and Safety Considerations
Frother Q25 meets modern environmental and safety standards, ensuring operational safety and environmental compliance:
-
Safety Measures:
- Wear protective gloves, goggles, and suitable clothing to avoid skin and eye contact.
- Operate in well-ventilated areas to minimize aerosol formation.
-
Storage Guidelines:
- Store in a dry, ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, ignition sources, and heat.
- Follow the "first-in, first-out" principle to maintain product quality.
-
Environmental Impact:
- Most of the frother binds to the concentrate and is destroyed during downstream processing.
- Proper tailings management ensures that minimal residues enter the environment.
6. Packaging and Storage
-
Packaging:
- Available in plastic drums or coated steel drums for safe transport and storage.
-
Storage Conditions:
- Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Avoid heat exposure or freezing conditions.
