Mining Flotation Collector Potassium Amyl Xanthate PAX

Potassium amyl xanthate is one of the most powerful flotation collector widely used in mineral processing. It is relatively unselective, and has a strong tendency to float iron sulfides unless depressants are used. It is used as a good mining reagent for the flotation treatment of all sulfide minerals, Cu/Ni sulphide ore, zinc ores, as well as gold associated with pyrite( gold containing iron sulfides). This mining chemical tends to recover all sulfides if circuit pH is maintained between pH 7 and pH 9. 

It can be mixed with Potassium ethyl xanthate (PEX) and Sodium isopropyl xanthate (PAX) to create a collector with the selectivity of PEX and SIPX and the collecting power of Potassium amyl xanthate (PAX) .

Feeding method: 10-20% solution .

Usual dosage: 10-100g/ton.

Storage & Handling 

Storage: Store solid xanthates in original properly sealed containers under cool dry conditions away from sources of ignition. 

Handling: Wear protective equipment. Keep away from sources of ignition. Use non sparking tools. Equipment should be earthed to avoid static discharge. All electronic equipment should be adjusted for work in explosive environment.
