Product Description

Introduction

Frother Q92 is an advanced flotation frother developed by Y&X Technology. It is primarily used for sulfide ores containing talc, offering superior performance in the flotation processes of non-ferrous metal sulfide ores. Designed to improve recovery rates and concentrate grades, Q92 is a highly efficient choice for mineral processing.

 

Product Overview

• Appearance: Brown to black liquid
• Active Components:
  • Alkyl polyoxypropylene ether
  • Alcohol
• Dosage:
  • Direct addition of the original solution, typically at 5-100 g/t of raw ore.
• Packaging:
  • Available in 200 kg drums or 1000 kg IBC drums.

 

Key Features

1. Exceptional Foaming Characteristics

   • Produces foam with low viscosity, ensuring easy handling and effective flotation.
   • Exhibits a normal size distribution of foam diameters and minimal liquid carrying capacity.
   • Foam remains fresh and avoids adsorption by hydrophilic gangue minerals like talc.

2. Targeted Applications

   • Ideal for flotation of sulfide copper ore, copper-gold sulfide ore, and copper-lead-zinc sulfide ore containing talc.
   • Improves flotation recovery rates and concentrate grades by preventing gangue interference.

3. Efficient in Sulfide Ore Processing

   • Effectively enhances non-ferrous metal sulfide ore recovery by enabling better interaction with collectors and reducing gangue competition.

 

Applications

Frother Q92 is specifically designed for:

• Sulfide Ores Containing Talc:
  Its selective properties make it ideal for ores with high talc content.
• Non-Ferrous Metal Ores:
  Copper, gold, and lead-zinc sulfide ores, where it enhances flotation efficiency and concentrate quality.

 

Storage and Handling

• Storage Guidelines:

  • Keep in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
  • Avoid contact with strong oxidizing or reducing agents, and keep away from open flames.

• Handling Precautions:

  • Use protective equipment, including gloves, safety glasses, and face shields.
  • Prevent formation of dust or aerosols and minimize contact with skin and eyes.

• Transportation:

  • Handle carefully to avoid violent impacts.

• Shelf Life:

  • 36 months under proper storage conditions.

 

Environmental Considerations

• Most of the frother is consumed or degraded during processing.
• Residual amounts are transferred to tailings; direct release into water systems must be avoided to minimize environmental impact.

 

Conclusion

Frother Q92 is a high-performance flotation frother that excels in the processing of sulfide ores, particularly those containing talc. Its innovative composition ensures better flotation recovery rates and concentrate grades while minimizing environmental impact. For professionals in mineral processing, Q92 offers a reliable and efficient solution to enhance ore beneficiation.
