Product description:

Sodium Butyl Xanthate (SBX) is a xanthate flotation reagent supplied as a light yellow to greenish free-flowing powder or pellet. It is readily soluble in water and is primarily used as a collector in the flotation of sulfide minerals.

Its collecting properties make SBX particularly suitable for mineral processing operations involving copper, lead, zinc, and other sulfide ores where efficient mineral recovery and separation are required.

Product Applications:

  • Copper Ore Flotation

Used as a collector in the flotation of copper sulfide minerals such as chalcopyrite, supporting effective separation from gangue materials.

  • Lead & Zinc Ore Processing

Suitable for flotation systems involving lead and zinc sulfide minerals where selective surface collection is required.

  • Sulfide Ore Beneficiation

Applied in polymetallic sulfide ore processing to improve mineral hydrophobicity and facilitate attachment to flotation bubbles.

  • Mineral Recovery Processes

Used in flotation circuits designed to concentrate valuable sulfide minerals and improve recovery efficiency during ore beneficiation.

Why Choose Our Sodium Butyl Xanthate?

Consistent Xanthate Purity

≥90% xanthate content with controlled free alkali and moisture levels for reliable flotation performance.

Good Water Solubility

Readily soluble in water to support convenient preparation and dosing in mineral processing systems.

Strong Collecting Performance

Designed for effective collection of sulfide minerals in copper, lead, zinc, and polymetallic ore flotation.

Technical Documentation Support

TDS, SDS, COA, and relevant batch specifications are available for technical evaluation and procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Collector selection depends on mineral type, ore composition, flotation pH, reagent scheme, and the required balance between recovery and selectivity. Laboratory or plant trials are recommended before determining the final reagent program.
Xanthate reagents can be sensitive to moisture and storage conditions. Proper moisture control helps maintain product stability and consistency during storage and transportation.
Dosage depends on ore mineralogy, feed grade, particle size, pulp chemistry, and target recovery. Bench-scale or plant testing should be used to determine the most suitable dosage for each flotation system.
ZXCHEM can provide TDS, SDS, COA, product specifications, and available batch documentation to support technical review and purchasing procedures.
