Key Features

1. Strong Collection Properties

   • Exhibits strong collection ability for copper sulfide minerals.
   • Has moderate foaming properties, enhancing its performance in flotation processes.

2. Versatility

   • Can be used alone or combined with xanthate to optimize performance based on the ore type.

3. Selective Performance

   • Improves recovery rates of copper concentrate in copper sulfide and copper-zinc sulfide ores.
   • Enhances recovery of precious metals like gold and silver in copper-gold sulfide ores.

4. Improved Selectivity Compared to Cytec 3418A

   • Weaker pyrite capture ability.
   • Stronger selectivity for copper sulfide, reducing unwanted impurities.

 

Applications

• Copper Sulfide and Copper-Zinc Sulfide Ores:
  Effectively increases the grade and recovery rate of copper concentrate.

• Copper-Gold Sulfide Ores:
  Improves recovery rates of rare and precious metals like gold and silver associated with copper concentrate.

 

Storage and Handling

• Storage Guidelines:

  • Store in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
  • Avoid exposure to strong oxidizing or reducing agents and open flames.

• Handling Precautions:

  • Use protective clothing, gloves, and eye/face protection.
  • Avoid inhalation of vapors or direct contact with skin and eyes.

• Transportation:

  • Handle with care to avoid violent impacts.

• Shelf Life:

  • 36 months under proper storage conditions.

 

Environmental Considerations

• Most of the reagent is consumed or destroyed during subsequent processing operations.
• Residual amounts are transferred to tailings, and direct release into water systems should be avoided to minimize environmental impact.

 

Conclusion

Collector YX3418A-6 is a powerful and versatile reagent for the flotation of copper and copper-gold sulfide ores. With its strong selectivity and collection capabilities, it improves concentrate quality while reducing impurities. For mineral processing professionals, YX3418A-6 offers an efficient and environmentally conscious solution to enhance recovery rates and optimize beneficiation processes.
