Product Description

Product Description

 

Product Name: Sodium Butyl Xanthate (SBX)

CAS Number: 140-00-7 (for the generic xanthate compound)

Molecular Formula: C6H11O2S (with the sodium counterion)

Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid

Density: Approximately 1.03 g/cm³ at 25°C

Boiling Point: Decomposes upon heating; not volatile

Melting Point: Below -20°C

pH: Alkaline (pH > 7 in aqueous solution)

Solubility: Soluble in water

Product Description:

Sodium Butyl Xanthate (SBX) is a widely utilized flotation collector in the mineral processing industry. It is an efficient reagent for the separation of valuable minerals from gangue through the froth flotation method. SBX is an organic sulfur compound that chemisorbs onto the surface of mineral particles, making them hydrophobic and allowing them to be selectively collected in the froth phase.

Key Features:

• High Efficiency: SBX effectively promotes the selective flotation of sulfide and other minerals, significantly enhancing the efficiency of mineral recovery.
• Versatility: Compatible with a diverse range of ore types and can be seamlessly integrated with other flotation reagents for tailored separation processes.
• Stability: Exhibits stable performance across various pH conditions, ensuring suitability for different flotation environments.
• Environmental Consideration: While all xanthates necessitate careful handling, SBX is biodegradable and poses a lower environmental impact compared to other collectors.

Applications:

• Froth Flotation: Widely used in the flotation of non-ferrous and precious metal ores, including copper, lead, zinc, and more.
• Mineral Processing: Enhances the efficiency of mineral beneficiation processes, resulting in higher recovery rates and increased purity of the final product.

Safety Information:

• When handling SBX, use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, safety goggles, and a mask.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice if necessary.
• Ensure good ventilation to avoid inhaling vapors or dust.

Storage Conditions:

• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Keep containers tightly sealed to maintain the product's integrity and prevent contamination.

Detailed Photos

 

Sodium Butyl Xanthate is a potent and versatile collector, primarily utilized in the flotation of non-ferrous minerals where robust harvesting power is essential, yet selectivity is not required. This exceptional chemical is especially effective for the flotation of oxidized sulfide ore, oxidized copper ore, and lead oxide ore (after vulcanization with sodium sulfide). Moreover, it delivers superior sorting effects in the flotation process of Cu-Ni sulfide ore and pyrite bearing ore, ensuring optimal mineral recovery and efficiency.

FAQ

 

What are xanthate compounds?

Xanthate compounds belong to a notable class of organic sulfur chemicals widely utilized as flotation collectors in the mining and mineral processing industries. These remarkable compounds significantly enhance the separation of valuable minerals from waste materials. By rendering the minerals hydrophobic, xanthates facilitate their attachment to air bubbles, thereby streamlining the collection process.

How do xanthates work in froth flotation?

Xanthates operate through chemisorption onto the surfaces of mineral particles, effectively rendering them hydrophobic. This transformation, in the presence of air and water, prompts the mineral particles to adhere to air bubbles. These bubbles ascend to the surface, forming a mineral-rich froth that is easily separable from the remaining aqueous and waste materials.

What are the common types of xanthates used in industry?

The industry commonly employs several types of xanthates, including Sodium Ethyl Xanthate (SEX), Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate (SIPX), Sodium Butyl Xanthate (SBX), and Sodium Isoamyl Xanthate (SIX). Each variant possesses unique properties tailored for different ores and flotation conditions, ensuring optimal performance across various applications.

Which factors influence the choice of xanthate for a particular application?

Selecting the appropriate xanthate involves considering multiple factors: the type of ore being processed, the targeted mineral recovery rate, the pH level of the flotation environment, and the compatibility with other reagents in use. Each of these elements plays a critical role in determining the most suitable xanthate for a given application.

What safety precautions should be taken when handling xanthates?

When handling xanthates, it is crucial to adhere to stringent safety measures. Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety goggles, and a mask. Conduct operations in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling vapors or dust. In case of skin or eye contact, immediately flush the area with plenty of water and seek medical advice if necessary.

How should xanthates be stored?

To maintain their integrity, store xanthates in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure that containers are tightly sealed to prevent contamination and evaporation, thereby preserving their efficacy and safety.

What is the role of xanthates in the pharmaceutical industry?

In the pharmaceutical sector, xanthates serve as essential intermediates in synthesizing certain drugs and act as chelating agents in the development of metal-based pharmaceuticals. Their versatility and unique chemical properties make them invaluable in various pharmaceutical applications.

Can xanthates be used in applications other than mining?

Indeed, xanthates find utility beyond the mining industry. They are employed as accelerators in the rubber industry, as agents for dye fixation in the textile sector, and as biocides in water treatment processes. Their diverse applications underscore their multifunctional nature across various industries.

How do I determine the correct dosage of xanthate for my process?

Determining the optimal xanthate dosage requires an assessment of several factors, including ore type, particle size, and desired separation efficiency. It is highly recommended to conduct small-scale tests to ascertain the precise dosage tailored to your specific application, ensuring maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
