Product Description

In the mining industry, efficient flotation processes are key to maximizing the recovery of valuable minerals. Sodium Isoamyl Xanthate (SIAX) has become an indispensable flotation reagent due to its strong collector properties and excellent selectivity for non-ferrous metal ores. Its ability to effectively float sulfide lead oxide and copper oxide ores makes it a preferred choice for mining operations aiming to enhance recovery and concentrate quality.

Why Sodium Isoamyl Xanthate?

Sodium Isoamyl Xanthate is a highly effective flotation collector, particularly suited for the flotation of non-ferrous metal ores. This reagent is widely used for sulfide ores, especially lead and copper, improving the overall recovery rates. With its strong chemical affinity for sulfide minerals, SIAX ensures that more of the valuable metals are separated from waste rock during flotation, boosting the efficiency of the mining process.

Key Benefits of SIAX

1. Enhanced Selectivity: SIAX is a selective collector, meaning it targets specific minerals, especially sulfides, while leaving unwanted gangue minerals behind. This property is essential for efficiently processing complex ores, resulting in higher quality concentrates.

2. Cost-Effective: Despite its powerful performance, SIAX is available at a relatively low cost, making it an economical choice for large-scale flotation operations. The low dosage requirement (10-100g/ton) ensures that it remains an affordable solution for achieving excellent flotation results.

3. Versatility: While SIAX is most effective for lead and copper oxide ores, its versatility also allows for use in a wide range of non-ferrous metal ores. Its efficiency in complex ore bodies makes it a versatile tool in mineral processing.

4. High Purity: SIAX has a high purity of 85.00% to 90.00%, ensuring maximum effectiveness in flotation. It is also stable and safe to handle, with a moisture and volatile content of no more than 8%, which guarantees consistent performance over time.

Applications of SIAX in Flotation

1. Sulfide Lead Oxide Ore Flotation: SIAX is particularly effective for lead oxide ores, enabling the efficient recovery of lead from complex ore bodies.

2. Copper Oxide Ore Flotation: SIAX has proven results in the flotation of copper oxide ores, ensuring better recovery and higher-grade copper concentrates.

3. Other Non-Ferrous Metal Ores: Besides lead and copper, SIAX can also be used to float other non-ferrous metal ores, expanding its application across various mineral processing sectors.
