Xanthate collectors adsorb onto sulphide mineral surfaces, making them hydrophobic so they attach to air bubbles and report to froth.
A long-chain xanthate collector widely used for the flotation of coarse, slow-floating sulphide particles, including copper and gold-bearing sulphides.
View →One of the most widely used flotation collectors globally, valued for its balance of selectivity and recovery in copper, cobalt and gold circuits.
View →A shorter-chain, more soluble xanthate used where faster kinetics and finer particle flotation are required.
View →A short-chain, fast-acting xanthate collector used for fine particle flotation and as a fast-reacting secondary collector.
View →A medium-chain potassium xanthate providing strong collecting power for copper and polymetallic sulphide ores.
View →The shortest-chain sodium xanthate in common use, chosen for fast kinetics on fine sulphide particles.
View →A long-chain sodium xanthate delivering strong, less-selective collection for coarse and difficult-to-float sulphides.
View →The most widely produced xanthate worldwide, offering a reliable balance of selectivity, recovery and cost for copper sulphide flotation.
View →Chemically identical to SBX (sodium n-butyl xanthate); listed separately as it is commonly specified under this exact name in tenders and mine reagent lists.
