Product Description

Product Description

Sodium Isobutyl Xanthate (SIBX) is a powerful flotation collector widely used in the mining industry for the selective flotation of nonferrous metallic sulfide ores. With its robust collecting properties, SIBX is particularly effective for copper, lead, and zinc sulfide ores, displaying strong performance in the flotation of copper ores and pyrites in natural circuits. SIBX is available as a pale yellow to yellow-green granular or free-flowing powder and is offered in purities of 85% or 90% minimum. This high-quality collector has a shelf life of 12 months under recommended storage conditions.

Features

• Product Name: Sodium Isobutyl Xanthate (SIBX)
• Chemical Classification: Sodium Organic Salt
• Appearance: Pale yellow to yellow-green granular or powder form
• Purity: Available in 85% or 90%
• Applications: Ideal for copper, lead, zinc sulfide ores

Applications

SIBX is extensively used in the flotation process for a variety of nonferrous metallic sulfide ores, specifically:

• Copper Ores: SIBX demonstrates exceptional effectiveness in the selective flotation of copper, enhancing concentrate grades and recovery rates.
• Lead and Zinc Ores: It provides strong collecting capabilities for lead and zinc, ensuring effective separation in mixed sulfide ores.
• Pyrite Flotation: In natural circuits, SIBX enhances pyrite flotation, making it a valuable reagent in complex ore systems.

Packing and Storage

• Packaging Options:
  • 110 kg steel drums with polyethylene lining, suitable for secure storage and transport (14.74 MT per 20' FCL).
  • 160 kg steel drums, safely packed on pallets (12.80 MT per 20' FCL).
  • 850 kg jumbo bags in UN-approved wooden boxes, ideal for bulk requirements (17 MT per 20' FCL).
• Storage Instructions:
  • Store SIBX in its original, sealed containers in a cool, dry environment away from ignition sources.
  • Avoid static discharge by grounding equipment and using non-sparking tools.
  • All handling and electronic equipment should be suitable for use in potentially explosive environments.

Safety and Handling

Due to its reactive nature, SIBX should be handled with proper protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, and anti-static clothing. Keep away from sources of ignition, as SIBX can produce volatile emissions. Follow all recommended safety procedures when storing and using this reagent.

Summary

Sodium Isobutyl Xanthate (SIBX) is a versatile, high-performance collector in the flotation of nonferrous metallic sulfide ores, particularly copper, lead, and zinc. With its strong selectivity and easy handling, SIBX is a valuable addition to flotation processes, enhancing recovery rates, concentrate quality, and operational efficiency.
