PBX 90%

 

PBX 90% is a reagent that plays a pivotal role in modern mining and metallurgy.

Flotation Process Facilitator: Potassium Butyl Xanthate is an indispensable ally in the flotation process, a cornerstone of mineral extraction. Flotation involves separating desired minerals from their ores.

Selective Adhesion: When introduced to a slurry of finely ground ore and water, Potassium Butyl Xanthate selectively adheres to sulfide minerals present in the mixture. These minerals, often hosting valuable elements like copper or lead, exhibit a unique affinity for the xanthate.

Bubble Attachment: Air bubbles are introduced into the slurry.

Rising to the Top: The mineral-laden bubbles rise to the surface of the flotation cell, forming a froth layer. This froth contains the target minerals, which are then skimmed off as concentrate. PBX 90%

Potassium Butyl Xanthate is light yellow powder or pellet with strong odour, soluble in water that can easily dissolve when exposed to acid and extreme heat.

Potassium Butyl Xanthate (PBX) is a key mining reagent commonly supplied in purities of 85% and 90%.

Mineral-processing operations widely use it to recover valuable minerals from sulfide ores, including copper, zinc, and nickel ores.

It performs particularly well in the flotation of Cu-Ni compound sulfide ores and gold-bearing ores associated with pyrite. Its strong collecting ability and selectivity make it suitable for a wide range of sulfide-mineral flotation applications.
