Application
Potassium isoamyl xanthate is a low cost but a high selective collector of available xanthates.It is most useful in the flotation of sulphide ore and multi-metallic ore for maximum selectivity.
Package
120kg/iron drum;or 900kg net plywood box(with 50kg inner bag).
Storage
Xanthate should be Kept stored in cool and dry environment.
Notice
Keep away from wet, fire and sunshine. To avoid decomposing, don’t be used in acid circumstance. When opening the bag, keep away from any warm object. Wear ocular and anti-toxin respirator to protect your skin, eye and nonnasality. In case of contact, wash immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
The effect of sulfite interaction with galena on the mechanism of potassium isoamyl xanthate (KIAX) synthesized adsorption onto galena surfaces has been studied in situ using electrochemical potential; FTIR spectra and SEM have been used to identify the mechanism of interaction between sulfite and galena surfaces. Activated galena with copper sulfate (10−4 M) has been investigated at pH 9.12 and potassium isoamyl xanthate (3 × 10−3 M) concentration. Oxidised galena surfaces have relatively low concentration of adsorbed xanthate and high potential (E opt = −89 mV); adsorbed colloidal (Pb-IAX, 1,123.08 cm−1) is found even at high xanthate concentration, colloidal lead oxide/hydroxide particles have been imaged after 10−4M lead sulfate addition at pH 9.12. The behavior of this system is consistent with ion exchange between xanthate and hydroxide followed by oxidation to dixanthogen (X 2, 1,273.56 cm−1) and diffusion of this species across the surface.
