Product Description: Potassium Amyl Xanthate (PAX) is a premier collector utilized in the froth flotation process for sulfide ores in the mining industry. Renowned for its exceptional selectivity, PAX is the potassium salt of aliphatic xanthic acid, highly effective in the separation of valuable minerals from gangue.
Key Features:
- High Efficiency: PAX boasts robust collecting properties, significantly enhancing the selective flotation of sulfide minerals.
- Selective Flocculation: PAX offers selective flocculation capabilities, enabling the separation of minerals based on hydrophobicity.
- Versatility: Highly compatible with various ore types, PAX can be effectively combined with other flotation reagents for tailored separation processes.
- Environmental Consideration: PAX is biodegradable and less toxic compared to many other xanthate collectors, making it a environmentally friendly choice.
Applications:
- Froth Flotation: Primarily used in the flotation of non-ferrous and precious metal sulfide ores, including copper, lead, zinc, and more.
- Mineral Processing: Enhances the efficiency of mineral beneficiation processes, resulting in higher recovery rates and improved purity of the final product.
Safety Information:
- Handle with care, using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety goggles, and masks.
- Avoid skin and eye contact. If contact occurs, flush immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice if necessary.
Storage Conditions:
- Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Keep containers tightly sealed to maintain product integrity and prevent contamination.
Regulatory Information:
- Complies with all relevant industry standards and regulations for use in the mining and mineral processing sectors.
