Product Description

Product Description
Sodium Isobutyl Xanthate (SIBX) is a powerful flotation collector used primarily in the beneficiation of nonferrous metallic sulfide ores, such as copper, lead, and zinc sulfides. Known for its strong collecting power, SIBX is especially effective in the flotation of copper ores and pyrites in natural circuits. Its formulation as a pale yellow to yellow-green granule or free-flowing powder ensures ease of use in flotation applications.

Usage and Application
SIBX is primarily used as a flotation collector in the processing of nonferrous metallic sulfide ores. It is applied in the flotation of copper, lead, and zinc sulfides, where its strong collecting ability enhances the separation of valuable minerals from the gangue. SIBX is particularly effective for copper flotation and the flotation of pyrite. It is recommended to use a 10-20% solution of SIBX, with a typical dosage range of 10-100 grams per ton of ore, depending on the specific flotation conditions.

Safety and Handling
To ensure safe handling of SIBX, use protective equipment and keep away from sources of ignition. Utilize non-sparking tools, and ensure that equipment is grounded to avoid static discharge. Adjust electronic equipment to safely operate in potentially explosive environments.

Applications

• Copper Ore Flotation: SIBX enhances copper concentrate recovery by acting as a strong collector, increasing the yield and purity of the copper concentrate.
• Pyrite Flotation in Natural Circuits: Particularly effective in natural flotation circuits, SIBX helps in the effective flotation of pyrite, improving concentrate selectivity.
• Lead and Zinc Sulfide Ores: SIBX is also suitable for lead and zinc flotation, providing a strong collecting ability that improves separation efficiency.

Summary
Sodium Isobutyl Xanthate (SIBX) is a reliable and powerful collector for the flotation of sulfide ores, particularly beneficial in copper and pyrite applications. With its strong collecting power, ease of use, and multiple packaging options, SIBX is an excellent choice for improving flotation efficiency and concentrate quality in various nonferrous sulfide ore beneficiation processes.
