Industrial Flotation Xanthates – Potassium Amyl Xanthate (PAX) & Sodium Amyl Xanthate (SAX)
Product Comparison & Technical Overview
Primary Applications in Mining & Metallurgy
-
Gold & Precious Metal Recovery: PAX is considered the strongest collector among xanthates, making it the industry standard for scavenging sulfide-bound gold and platinum group metals (PGMs).
-
Copper & Nickel Flotation: Highly effective in floating chalcopyrite, pentlandite, and complex copper-molybdenum minerals.
-
Complex Poly-Metallic Ores: Applied in multi-stage flotation circuits for recovering lead-zinc and oxidized copper-sulfide ores.
Delivery, Freight & Compliance Information
🚚 Hazmat Transport & Storage Notice
Xanthates are classified under UN 3342 (Class 4.2 Spontaneously Combustible Solid / Organic Xanthates). Shipments require specialized dangerous goods handling.
-
Freight Compliance: Supplied with full IMO hazardous documentation, material safety certificates, and batch analysis.
-
Lead Time: 3 to 7 Business Days for standard drum/crate deliveries to major mining centers.
-
Custom Packaging: Bulk ISO bags and containerized shipments available upon request.
Safety, Handling & Storage Guidelines
⚠️ Hazard Warning: Self-heating solid. May catch fire if exposed to moisture, heat, or acids. Releases toxic carbon disulfide () gas upon decomposition.
-
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse protected from direct sunlight, rain, and moisture. Keep packaging hermetically sealed until use.
-
Handling Protocols: Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment in preparation areas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
-
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear a dust mask/respirator, safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, and anti-static protective clothing during handling.
