Product Description: Potassium Isoamyl Xanthate (PIAX) is a high-efficiency collector used in the froth flotation process of sulfide ores in the mining industry. It is known for its strong collecting power and is particularly effective in the flotation of non-ferrous metals, oxidized sulfide ores, and copper oxide and lead oxide ores.
Key Features:
Strong Collecting Power: PIAX is a potent collector for ores that require strong collecting strength without selectivity.
Good Dispersion Performance: It can disperse quickly in aqueous solutions, forming a stable colloidal solution and improving the ore dressing effect.
Adhesion Performance: PIAX has strong adhesion to the ore surface, effectively removing impurities and improving ore quality and grade.
Selective Flocculation: Exhibits good selectivity, adsorbing on the mineral surface without affecting the separation of non-target minerals.
Applications:
Froth Flotation: Used in the flotation of non-ferrous metal sulfide ores, including copper, lead, zinc, and others.
Oxidized Sulfide Ore Flotation: Effective in the flotation of oxidized ores and copper oxide and lead oxide ores.
Safety Information:
Handle with care using 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:
PIAX complies with relevant industry standards and regulations for use in the mining and mineral processing sectors.
FAQ for Potassium Isoamyl Xanthate (PIAX)
What is the main use of PIAX in the mining industry?
PIAX is mainly used as a collector in the froth flotation process of sulfide ores, particularly for non-ferrous metals.
How does PIAX compare to other xanthate collectors in terms of efficiency?
PIAX is known for its strong collecting power, making it highly effective for ores that require strong collection without selectivity.
Can PIAX be used for oxidized sulfide ore flotation?
Yes, PIAX is effective in the flotation of oxidized sulfide ores and is also used for copper oxide and lead oxide ores.
What safety precautions should be taken when handling PIAX?
When handling PIAX, wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, safety goggles, and a mask to prevent skin and eye contact. In case of contact, flush immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice if necessary.
How should PIAX be stored to maintain its quality?
PIAX should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent contamination and evaporation.
Is PIAX biodegradable?
PIAX is considered biodegradable, which makes it more environmentally friendly compared to some other xanthate collectors. However, it should still be handled and disposed of according to local environmental regulations.
What is the recommended dosage of PIAX in the flotation process?
The optimal dosage of PIAX depends on various factors, including the type of ore, particle size, and desired separation efficiency. It is recommended to perform small-scale tests to determine the appropriate dosage for a specific application.
How can I get more information or purchase PIAX?
For more information or to inquire about purchasing PIAX, please contact our sales team. We are ready to assist you with your specific needs.
PIAX is the most selective collector in xanthate series products. It can be widely used in preferential flotation of easily floating or complex nonferrous gold sulfide ores. It can also be used with vulcanizing agent for flotation of copper and lead oxide ore. It can also be used as a hydrometallurgical precipitator (such as purification of zinc electrolyte) and a rubber vulcanization accelerator.
