Product Description: Potassium Amyl Xanthate (PAX) is a premier, highly effective collector utilized extensively in the froth flotation processes of sulfide ores within the mining industry. As a potassium salt of aliphatic xanthic acid, PAX is renowned for its exceptional selectivity and efficacy in distinguishing valuable minerals from gangue.

Key Features:

High Efficiency: PAX demonstrates powerful collecting properties, amplifying the selective flotation of sulfide minerals.
Selective Flocculation: Enables selective flocculation, facilitating the separation of minerals based on hydrophobicity.
Versatility: Compatible with diverse ore types, PAX can be blended with other flotation reagents to tailor separation processes.
Environmental Consideration: Biodegradable and less toxic in comparison to many other xanthate collectors.
Applications:

Froth Flotation: Primarily employed in the flotation of non-ferrous and precious metal sulfide ores, such as copper, lead, and zinc.
Mineral Processing: Enhances the efficiency of mineral beneficiation processes, resulting in higher recovery rates and purity of the final product.

Safety Information:

Handle with care, utilizing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, safety goggles, and a mask.
Avoid skin and eye contact. If contact occurs, rinse 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.
Ensure containers are tightly sealed to maintain product integrity and prevent contamination.

Regulatory Information:

Complies with all relevant industry standards and regulations for use in mining and mineral processing sectors.

       
        Potassium Amyl Xanthate stands as the pinnacle of selectivity within the xanthate series of collectors. Renowned for its broad applicability, it excels in the preferential flotation of easily floatable or complex nonferrous gold sulfide ores. Additionally, when paired with a vulcanizing agent, it demonstrates remarkable efficacy in the flotation of copper and lead oxide ores. Beyond flotation, its versatility extends to its use as a hydrometallurgical precipitator, vital for applications such as the purification of zinc electrolytes, and as a potent rubber vulcanization accelerator.
