Potassium Amyl Xanthate (PAX) 90%minPotassium amyl xanthate is one of the most powerful flotation collector widely used in mineral processing. It is relatively unselective and has a strong tendency to float iron sulfides unless depressants are used. It is used as a good mining reagent for the flotation treatment of all sulfide minerals, Cu/Ni sulfide ore, zinc ores, as well as gold associated with pyrite( gold containing iron sulfides). This mining chemical tends to recover all sulfides if circuit pH is maintained between pH 7 and pH 9.
