Product Introduction
Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate (SIPX) is a widely used collector in the froth flotation process for the beneficiation of non-ferrous metallic ores. As a member of the xanthate family, it functions by selectively adsorbing onto the surfaces of sulfide minerals, making them hydrophobic. This key property enables the mineral particles to attach to air bubbles and report to the froth concentrate.
This collector is particularly valued for its strong yet relatively balanced collecting power and good selectivity. It is highly effective in the flotation of various sulfide ores, including those of copper, lead, and zinc. SIPX is often the preferred choice for the flotation of copper sulfides and is also extensively applied in the bulk flotation of pyrite and the recovery of gold associated with it. Its performance can be further enhanced when used in combination with suitable frothers and pH modifiers.
Product Advantage
1.Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate (SIPX) stands out in mineral processing due to its superior balance of collecting power and selectivity. Stronger than sodium ethyl xanthate yet more selective than longer-chain amyl xanthate, it ensures high recovery rates of key sulfide minerals like copper, lead, and zinc, while effectively minimizing the unnecessary flotation of gangue material. This results in a higher-grade concentrate.
2.A key operational advantage is its cost-effectiveness and versatility. It performs reliably across a wide range of ore types and pH conditions, offering robust performance at a lower cost than many powerful alternatives. Its rapid action and good solubility in pulp facilitate efficient flotation kinetics and straightforward plant operation.
3.These combined benefits—balanced performance, economic efficiency, and operational reliability—make SIPX one of the most widely adopted and trusted collectors in the global mining industry for the flotation of base metal sulfide ores.
