Potassium Amyl Xanthate (PAX):

Potassium Amyl Xanthate (PAX) is a flotation reagent widely used in the mining industry for the separation of minerals by flotation.

Usage:

  • Mineral Flotation: PAX is used as a collector in the mineral flotation process. It promotes the adhesion of mineral particles to air bubbles, facilitating their separation from other components.

Characteristics:

  • Collector Agent: As a xanthate, PAX acts as a collector agent by forming a hydrophobic film on the surface of mineral particles, facilitating their attachment to air bubbles during the flotation process.

Precautions:

  • Safe Handling: Like any chemical used in the industry, it is essential to follow safe handling procedures. This may include wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Storage:

  • PAX should be stored in accordance with safety guidelines, avoiding sources of heat and ignition.

Compliance with Regulations:

  • It is important to comply with local and industrial safety regulations when handling and storing PAX.

Safety Data Sheet (SDS):

  • It is highly recommended to refer to the product-specific Safety Data Sheet for detailed information on handling, storage, and associated precautions, as these may vary depending on the specific product formulations.
