Sodium N-Butyl Xanthate is a very powerful collector with strong selectivity, widely used in the flotation treatment of sulfide multi-metallic ores, especially used in the flotation of natural circuit for copper ores and pyrite, like chalcopyrite, sphalerite, pyrite etc. It is also used in flotation of nickel ores, especially for the flotation treatment of Cu-Ni compound sulfide ore as well as gold mine associated with pyrite. It can also get satisfactory results when used in lead oxide copper ores. Commonly used in the process of rough flotation and scavenging flotation. Under the proper conditions, it can be used in the selective flotation of copper sulfide minerals from iron sulfide minerals and in the flotation of sphalerite after activation with copper sulphate. 

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.
