Chemnergy supplies the full reagent suite for copper flotation and hydrometallurgy, from xanthate collectors through to bulk sulphuric acid for leach and SX-EW circuits.
Copper sulphide ores are typically floated using a xanthate collector (commonly SBX or SIBX) with a frother, while oxide copper ores are processed via acid leaching and solvent extraction–electrowinning (SX-EW), which consumes large volumes of sulphuric acid.
