Collectors
Xanthates (ethyl, butyl, and isobutyl), dithiophosphates, thionocarbamates, hydroxamic acids, and fatty-acid collectors.
Base Metal Flotation Reagents
Flotation Reagents for Base-Metal Ore Processing
We support flotation reagent selection for copper, lead, zinc, gold, and silver circuits, from sulfide ores to selected oxide-ore routes. Our engineers review ore samples, process conditions, and the current reagent scheme before matching collectors, frothers, modifiers, and auxiliary reagents from trusted suppliers.
Simple Overview
Collectors, frothers, and modifiers for common flotation stages.
We primarily support reagent sourcing and technical communication for plants engaged in non-ferrous metal ore flotation. Product discussions can begin with your ore type, flotation objectives, and the current operational challenges your team is looking to improve.
Frothers
No. 2 oil, MIBC, and ether-alcohol frothers.
Modifiers
pH modifiers (lime and sodium carbonate), activators (copper sulfate), and depressants (sodium silicate and CMC).
Auxiliary Reagents
Leaching aids, filter aids, defoamers, and biocides.
Selection Basis
Start with the ore and circuit, not a generic reagent list.
A practical recommendation begins with the target mineral, feed characteristics, flotation stage, pulp conditions, and the performance of the current reagent route. These inputs help narrow the product type before laboratory or plant comparison.
- Target metal, ore type, and mineralogy
- Feed grade, particle size, pulp pH, and water conditions
- Current collector, frother, dosage, recovery, and concentrate grade
- Roughing, scavenging, cleaning, or oxide-ore pretreatment stage
Reagent Selection Overview
| Reagent group | Main role | Discussion focus |
|---|---|---|
| Collectors | Promote target-mineral attachment | Mineralogy, selectivity, recovery, and concentrate grade |
| Frothers | Control bubble and froth behavior | Froth stability, carryover, cell conditions, and water quality |
| Modifiers | Adjust activation, depression, and pH | Separation target, pulp chemistry, and competing minerals |
| Auxiliary reagents | Support conditioning and downstream handling | Process bottleneck, filtration, foam control, and plant constraints |
Product List
Main Products
The following items are drawn from real sample materials and represent common reagent routes for inquiry, selection discussion, and follow-up technical communication.
Sodium butyl xanthate
Commonly referenced collector for sulfide ore flotation applications.
Modified thionocarbamate
Used in circuits where stronger collection performance and easier handling are valued.
New flotation frother
Shown as a frother option for plants that need steadier foam performance.
Frother 105
Representative frother sample from the current product set.
Sulfidizing agent
Can be discussed for relevant flotation or wet-processing application routes.
Additional reagent options
Further product matching can be discussed based on ore type and flotation target.
Common Questions
What buyers usually confirm before a flotation reagent trial.
Can one collector fit every sulfide ore?
No. Mineralogy, oxidation, pH, water chemistry, and the required selectivity can change the preferred route.
What data is needed first?
Share the target metal, ore type, feed grade, particle size, pH, current reagents, dosage, and operating result.
Are samples and comparison tests available?
Sample evaluation can be discussed after the existing circuit and test objective are clear.
What supply documents can be discussed?
Available specifications, packaging, COA, MSDS, and export documentation depend on the selected product.
Quick Inquiry
