Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the primary use of Potassium Amyl Xanthate (PAX) in mining?
PAX is a powerful flotation collector used to separate sulfide minerals from gangue. It is widely used for copper, nickel, zinc, and gold ores, especially those associated with pyrite.
Q: What is the ideal pH range for using PAX 90%?
For optimal recovery of all sulfides, the circuit pH should be maintained between pH 7 and pH 9.
Q: How does PAX handle iron sulfides?
PAX is relatively unselective and has a strong tendency to float iron sulfides. To avoid this, specific depressants must be used to ensure only the target minerals are collected.
Q: Can PAX be used for refractory copper-lead oxide ores?
Yes, Potassium Amyl Xanthate is effective for refractory copper-lead oxide ores and can produce satisfactory recovery results.
Q: What is the difference between the pellet and powder grades?
The pellet grade typically has a higher content (≥ 90%) and lower moisture (≤ 4.0%), while the powder grade is ≥ 85% with up to 10.0% volatile content.
Q: Where in the flotation process is PAX typically applied?
It is commonly utilized in both the rougher and scavenger flotation processes to maximize the recovery of the valuable mineral components.
