Product Description

In mineral beneficiation, oxidized ores present a significant challenge due to their low natural floatability and complex properties. Traditional reagents often fail to deliver efficient recovery or selective flotation results, particularly in refractory ores like phosphate, fluorite, and lead-zinc oxides. Collector SW01, a specially engineered flotation reagent, is designed to tackle these challenges head-on. With exceptional selectivity, collecting power, and adaptability, SW01 has redefined efficiency in oxidized ore flotation processes.

 

1. Overview of Collector SW01

• Appearance: Yellow-green to brownish-yellow liquid
• Application Temperature: Optimally used with hot water ≥60°C, but effective at reduced industrial water temperatures (down to 15°C).
• Dosage: Typically diluted to 1-10% solution, depending on flotation conditions and ore types.
• Packaging: 25 kg/bag
• Shelf Life: Up to 36 months when stored correctly.

 

2. Target Applications

Collector SW01 is specifically formulated to address the unique challenges of oxidized ores, offering exceptional results across a variety of ore types:

A. Phosphate Ore Flotation

Phosphate ores, such as apatite, require careful flotation to separate valuable minerals from gangue. SW01 delivers precise collecting performance, ensuring high recovery rates while suppressing unwanted impurities.

B. Fluorite Ore Recovery

Fluorite flotation is particularly challenging due to the presence of gangue minerals like calcite. SW01's strong selectivity allows for the recovery of high-grade fluorite concentrates with minimal contamination.

C. Lead-Zinc Oxide Ore

Oxidized lead-zinc ores are notoriously difficult to process. SW01 improves flotation efficiency, selectively targeting valuable minerals and ensuring a higher recovery of lead and zinc oxides.

D. Refractory Scheelite Ores

For scheelite and carbonate-type apatite ores, SW01 provides exceptional recovery rates, even in challenging refractory conditions where conventional collectors struggle.

E. Rare Earth Minerals

Rare earth oxide ores, often finely disseminated, benefit from SW01's superior collecting ability and gangue suppression, ensuring improved recovery.

 

3. Key Benefits of Collector SW01

1. Exceptional Collecting Power

• SW01 is designed to provide strong, targeted collection of oxidized minerals, improving flotation recovery rates significantly.

2. Superior Selectivity

• Unlike generic collectors, SW01 suppresses gangue minerals such as calcite and silicates, ensuring high-grade concentrates.

3. Versatility in Application

• SW01 is compatible with other reagents, including frothers and auxiliary collectors, allowing flexibility in flotation circuit designs.

4. Adaptable to Temperature Variations

• While optimized for hot water applications (≥60°C), SW01 performs reliably at industrial water temperatures as low as 15°C.

5. Cost Efficiency

• With a dosage range of 1-10% solution, SW01 provides high efficiency at minimal reagent consumption, optimizing operational costs.

6. Reliable Performance in Refractory Conditions

• Delivers consistent results in complex, low-grade ores where conventional collectors underperform.

 

4. How to Use Collector SW01

To achieve maximum efficiency, follow these operational guidelines:

• Preparation:

  • Dilute SW01 into a 1-10% solution using hot water for best performance. Lower water temperatures can also be effective depending on ore characteristics.

• Dosage:

  • Typical dosage ranges between 60-200 g/t, depending on flotation conditions and mineral content.

• Addition:

  • Add SW01 to the flotation system at the conditioning stage to ensure thorough dispersion and interaction with the ore particles.

• Combination:

  • SW01 can be mixed with frothers or other collectors to improve selectivity and recovery rates in complex flotation processes.

 

5. Environmental and Safety Compliance

Modern mining operations demand sustainable and safe solutions. Collector SW01 adheres to strict environmental and safety standards:

• Low Environmental Impact:

  • The majority of SW01 binds to the concentrate during flotation, with minimal residues in tailings. Proper tailings management prevents water contamination.

• Safe Handling:

  • Avoid direct contact with skin or eyes. Operators should wear protective gloves, goggles, and face protection during handling.

• Storage Guidelines:

  • Store in a shaded, dry, and ventilated area, away from heat sources, oxidizing agents, and open flames.

 

6. Packaging and Shelf Life

• Packaging:

  • Available in 25 kg bags, ensuring ease of transportation and storage.

• Shelf Life:

  • Shelf life is 36 months under proper storage conditions, maintaining product stability and performance.

 

7. Why Choose Collector SW01?

Collector SW01 combines modern chemistry with operational efficiency to deliver outstanding results in oxidized ore flotation:

• Reliable Recovery: Maximizes the recovery of valuable minerals like phosphate, fluorite, lead-zinc oxides, and rare earths.
• Unmatched Selectivity: Suppresses unwanted gangue minerals, producing cleaner and higher-grade concentrates.
• Operational Flexibility: Effective across varied ore types and flotation conditions.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Requires low dosage, reducing reagent costs while improving flotation outcomes.
• Environmentally Safe: Designed to minimize environmental impact, supporting sustainable mining practices.

 

8. Conclusion

Collector SW01 sets a new standard for oxidized ore flotation, offering unmatched efficiency, selectivity, and versatility. Whether dealing with refractory phosphate ores, complex fluorite systems, or lead-zinc oxide minerals, SW01 ensures improved recovery rates, cleaner concentrates, and cost savings for mining operations.

By incorporating Collector SW01 into flotation circuits, operators can tackle the most challenging ore bodies while adhering to environmental and safety standards.
