Process overview

How zinc is processed

Zinc sulphide (sphalerite) is typically depressed during copper/lead flotation and then activated with copper sulphate before flotation with a xanthate collector such as SIPX or SIBX in a dedicated zinc circuit.

Reagents we supply

  • SIPX — Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate
  • SBX — Sodium Butyl Xanthate
