Product Description

Product Description

As mineral processing technologies advance, reagents like Sodium Metabisulfite (SMBS) have become indispensable in optimizing mineral flotation and beneficiation processes. Y&X Technology's Sodium Metabisulfite sets a high standard with its specialized formulation, tailored for efficient mineral processing and sustainable operations.

 

Product Overview

Sodium Metabisulfite is a white to light yellow crystal powder designed to reduce mineral floatability by forming hydrophilic films on mineral surfaces. This reagent's ability to hinder interactions between collectors and mineral particles makes it an essential component in challenging mineral beneficiation environments.

Key Specifications:

• Appearance: White to light yellow crystal powder
• Dosage: Application-specific; adaptable for combination with other reagents
• Shelf Life: 24 months

 

Product Features and Benefits

Chemical Efficacy:

Sodium Metabisulfite effectively reduces the floatability of minerals by forming a colloidal adsorption film on their surfaces. This property enables precise control over flotation operations, enhancing recovery efficiency in complex mineral ores.

Versatility:

Its wide applicability allows it to be used with other reagents, maximizing its effectiveness across various mineral processing conditions.

Environmental Responsibility:

Most of the reagent is consumed or decomposed during subsequent processing, ensuring minimal residual impact. Careful handling further reduces environmental risks.

Ease of Application:

The reagent's flexibility in dosage allows it to be fine-tuned for site-specific requirements, improving overall process adaptability and efficiency.

 

Applications

Mineral Processing:

• Sodium Metabisulfite is primarily used to reduce floatability in mineral flotation processes, ensuring selective separation of desired materials from impurities.

Wastewater Treatment:

• Its chemical properties make it an effective solution for treating industrial wastewater, neutralizing unwanted residues.

Food Preservation:

• In industries outside mineral processing, it serves as a preservative for certain food products, highlighting its versatility.

 

Packaging and Storage

Packaging Options:

• Available in 25 kg bags, 50 kg bags, and 1250 kg jumbo bags to suit operational needs.

Storage Guidelines:

• Store in a cool, shaded, and ventilated environment.
• Avoid contact with strong oxidizing or reducing agents, as well as open flames.
• Prevent exposure to moisture or violent impacts during handling and transfer.

Transportation Safety:

• Minimize dust formation during transportation to avoid ignition risks.
• Handle carefully to maintain packaging integrity.

 

Safety Guidelines

• Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes.
• Ensure proper ventilation to reduce dust and aerosol accumulation.
• Wear protective gear, including gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing, during handling.

 

Environmental Impact

Most of the reagent is destroyed during subsequent processing or remains tied up in the concentrate. Careful management ensures minimal release into water systems, aligning with modern environmental standards.

 

Conclusion

Sodium Metabisulfite from Y&X Technology is a benchmark flotation reagent, combining high efficiency, adaptability, and environmental responsibility. With its broad range of applications in mineral flotation and beyond, it provides operators with a reliable and versatile solution to enhance recovery rates, streamline processes, and maintain sustainability.
