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.
