Applications

Potassium Butyl Xanthate is a versatile and powerful flotation collector with excellent selectivity, widely used in the mining industry for the following applications:

1. Sulfide Multi-Metallic Ores:

   • Effective for flotation of copper ores, pyrite (e.g., chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and pyrite).
   • Ideal for copper-nickel compound sulfide ores and gold ores associated with pyrite.

2. Oxide Ores:

   • Provides satisfactory results for lead oxide and copper ores after activation with copper sulfate.

3. Flotation Processes:

   • Commonly used in rough flotation and scavenging flotation.
   • Suitable for selective flotation of copper sulfide minerals from iron sulfide minerals.

Dosage: Use as a 10%-20% solution, with a usual dosage of 10-100 g/ton depending on ore type and flotation conditions.

Storage & Handling

• Storage:

  • Keep in original, properly sealed containers.
  • Store under cool, dry conditions away from ignition sources.

• Handling:

  • Utilize protective equipment and non-sparking tools.
  • Avoid static discharge by grounding all equipment.
  • Ensure electronic equipment is adjusted for safe operation in explosive environments.
