Product Description: Potassium Butyl Xanthate (PBX) is an efficient collector used in the froth flotation process of various ores in the mining industry. It is a potassium salt of butyl xanthic acid and is known for its effectiveness in promoting the separation of valuable minerals from gangue.

Key Features:

• High Efficiency: PBX exhibits strong collecting properties, enhancing the selective flotation of mineral particles.
• Selective Flocculation: Provides selective flocculation capabilities, allowing for the separation of minerals based on their hydrophobicity.
• Versatility: Compatible with various ore types and can be used in combination with other flotation reagents for customized separation processes.
• Environmental Consideration: Less toxic and biodegradable compared to some other xanthate collectors.

Applications:

• Froth Flotation: Primarily used in the flotation of non-ferrous and precious metal sulfide ores, such as copper, lead, zinc, and others.
• Mineral Processing: Improves the efficiency of mineral beneficiation processes, leading to higher recovery rates and purity of the end product.

Safety Information:

• Handle with care, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, safety goggles, and a mask.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, 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:

• PBX complies with relevant industry standards and regulations for use in the mining and mineral processing sectors.

FAQ for Potassium Butyl Xanthate (PBX)

What is Potassium Butyl Xanthate used for?

PBX is used as a collector in the froth flotation process of various ores, particularly for non-ferrous and precious metals.

How does PBX work in the froth flotation process?

PBX chemisorbs onto the surface of mineral particles, rendering them hydrophobic, thus allowing them to attach to air bubbles. These buoyant particles then float to the surface, where they can be easily collected.

Is PBX selective for certain types of minerals?

Yes, PBX exhibits selectivity for specific minerals based on the flotation conditions and the nature of the ore being processed.

What safety precautions should be taken when handling PBX?

Ensure proper safety measures when handling PBX: wear gloves, safety goggles, and a mask to avoid skin and eye contact. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with copious amounts of water and seek medical attention if needed.

How should PBX be stored?

Store PBX in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure containers are tightly sealed to prevent contamination and evaporation.

Is PBX biodegradable?

Yes, PBX is considered biodegradable, making it a more environmentally conscious choice compared to some other xanthate collectors.

What is the effect of pH on the performance of PBX?

PBX performance in froth flotation is influenced by the pH of the solution, with optimal effectiveness typically observed in slightly alkaline conditions.

Can PBX be used in combination with other flotation reagents?

Absolutely, PBX can be synergistically used with other flotation reagents, including frothers and modifiers, to meet specific separation goals and boost flotation efficiency.

What is the recommended dosage of PBX in the flotation process?

The ideal dosage of PBX varies based on factors like ore type, particle size, and desired separation efficiency. Conducting small-scale tests is recommended to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific application.

Detailed Photos

 

PIAX stands out as the pinnacle of selectivity among xanthate series collectors. Its versatility shines in the preferential flotation of easily floating or complex nonferrous gold sulfide ores. When paired with a vulcanizing agent, it excels in the flotation of copper and lead oxide ores. Beyond flotation, it serves as an exceptional hydrometallurgical precipitator, ideal for the purification of zinc electrolytes, and as a potent rubber vulcanization accelerator.
