Product Overview

Chemical appearance

Alky Hydroxamic Acid has a pretty dark red colour appearance. It also comes in liquid form which has no distinct odour. It has a pH level of 10 to 13.

Chemical application and strength

Sodium Alkyl Hydroxamic Acid or Sodium Alkyl Hydroximic Acid is a very good collector and flotation agent with oxidized sulfide and different metallic oxides, even ones which are very difficult to extract by other collector agents. It has a strong collection power with wolframite, copper oxide ores, titanic iron, hematite, niobium ores, and many more. It can strongly extract various non-ferrous metals.

• In alkaline conditions, Alkyl Hydroxamic Acid is a strong floater of cobalt and copper.
• It should be placed in an environment away from exposure to water and extreme heat from fire and sunlight. If placed in a very cold confinement, it has the tendency to solidify.
• It is easily soluble in water and also in alkaline solutions.
• Its chain length increases along with the broadening of floatability.
• It is usually used by some as an aqueous solution.
• In the pH range of 10 to 13 is where its flotation and collection ability is very strong and effective.
