Mining & Flotation Reagents

Flotation collectors are the workhorse reagents of sulfide ore beneficiation, and xanthates are the most widely used family of collectors in the industry. But within the xanthate family, the choice of alkyl chain length — ethyl, isopropyl, isobutyl or amyl — materially changes selectivity, recovery and cost. This article compares SIBX (sodium isobutyl xanthate) with
