Performance and Applications
- Flotation Collector: Demonstrates exceptional collecting performance for various non-ferrous metal sulfide ores. The xanthate groups form stable surface compounds with metal ions, significantly enhancing mineral hydrophobicity and improving attachment efficiency during flotation. Particularly suitable for complex polymetallic ores.
- Hydrometallurgy: Serves as an efficient precipitant that forms stable xanthate precipitates with heavy metal ions, enabling selective separation and recovery. Effective in heavy metal wastewater treatment and precious metal recovery processes.
- Rubber Industry: Acts as a vulcanization accelerator that increases rubber vulcanization speed and efficiency. Enhances physical and mechanical properties of rubber products, with applications in tires, seals, and conveyor belts.
Key Advantages
- Strong collecting capability with excellent performance for non-ferrous metal sulfide ores
- Multifunctional - serves as flotation collector, hydrometallurgical precipitant, and rubber vulcanization accelerator
- Broad application range across multiple industrial fields and process conditions
