Chemical application and strength

Benzyl Hydroxamic Acid or Benzyl Hydroximic Acid is a very good collector and flotation agent with various metallic ores and ones which are very difficult to extract by other collectors. These include smithsonite, tinstone, wolframite, and scheelite. If in the right conditions BHA is a great collector and has high selectivity.

• Can be dispersed in hot water and in various organic solutions.
• When used as an anionic collector, it has a great selectivity in the flotation process of iron, tungsten, and other rare earth materials.
• It is a good collector which has the ability to split ilmenite from related gangue minerals.
• BHA has been proven to be a better flotation agent compared to oleate.
• When BHA is used as the collector, the flotation of wolframite is greatly activated by Pb cations.
