Product Description
Product Description
Product Name: Sodium Isoamyl Xanthate (SIX)
CAS Number: [Specific CAS number if available]
Molecular Formula: C6H11NaOS2
Appearance: Clear to pale yellow liquid
Density: Approximately 1.05 g/cm³ at 25°C
Boiling Point: Not applicable; decomposes upon heating
Melting Point: Below -20°C
pH: Alkaline (pH > 7)
Solubility: Soluble in water
Product Description:
Sodium Isoamyl Xanthate (SIX) is a high-efficiency collector reagent used in the mineral processing industry for the froth flotation of sulfide and other ores. It is an organic sulfur compound that chemisorbs onto the surface of mineral particles, making them hydrophobic and facilitating their separation from the hydrophilic gangue materials.
Key Features:
- High Efficiency: SIX is known for its superior collecting properties, effectively promoting the attachment of mineral particles to air bubbles during flotation.
- Selective Flocculation: It offers selective flocculation capabilities, allowing for the separation of minerals based on their hydrophobicity.
- Versatility: SIX is compatible with a variety of ore types and can be used in conjunction with other flotation reagents for customized separation processes.
- Environmentally Considerate: Compared to some other xanthate collectors, SIX has a lower environmental impact due to its biodegradability and reduced toxicity.
Applications:
- Froth Flotation: Primarily used in the flotation of non-ferrous and precious metal ores, such as copper, lead, zinc, and others.
- Mineral Processing: Enhances the efficiency of mineral beneficiation processes, leading to higher recovery rates and purity of the end product.
Safety Information:
- Handle with care, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, safety goggles, and a mask.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, flush immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice if necessary.
Storage Conditions:
- Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination and evaporation.
Detailed Photos
Sodium isoamyl xanthate is a strong collector, which is mainly used in the flotation of non-ferrous minerals that require strong harvesting power without selectivity. For example, it is a good collector for the flotation of oxidized sulfide ore or oxidized copper ore and lead oxide ore (vulcanized by sodium sulfide). The product can also achieve better sorting effect on the flotation of Cu-Ni sulfide ore and pyrite bearing ore.

FAQ
What are xanthate compounds?
Xanthate compounds are a class of organic sulfur chemicals used as flotation collectors, primarily in the mining and mineral processing industries. They enhance the separation of valuable minerals from waste materials by making the minerals hydrophobic and facilitating their attachment to air bubbles.
How do xanthates work in froth flotation?
Xanthates chemisorb onto the surface of mineral particles, rendering them hydrophobic. In the presence of air and water, this causes the mineral particles to attach to air bubbles, which then rise to the surface to form a mineral-rich froth that can be collected separately from the remaining water and waste materials.
What are the common types of xanthates used in industry?
Common types of xanthates include Sodium Ethyl Xanthate (SEX), Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate (SIPX), Sodium Butyl Xanthate (SBX), and Sodium Isoamyl Xanthate (SIX). Each type has specific properties that make them suitable for different ores and flotation conditions.
Which factors influence the choice of xanthate for a particular application?
The choice of xanthate depends on the type of ore being processed, the desired mineral recovery rate, the pH of the flotation environment, and the compatibility with other reagents used in the flotation process.
What safety precautions should be taken when handling xanthates?
Personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, safety goggles, and a mask, should be worn when handling xanthates. They should be used in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhalation of vapors or dust. In case of skin or eye contact, flush immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice if necessary.
How should xanthates be stored?
Xanthates should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Containers should be kept tightly sealed to prevent contamination and evaporation.
What is the role of xanthates in the pharmaceutical industry?
In the pharmaceutical industry, xanthates are used as intermediates in the synthesis of certain drugs and as chelating agents in the development of metal-based pharmaceuticals.
Can xanthates be used in applications other than mining?
Yes, xanthates have applications outside of mining, such as in the rubber industry as accelerators, in the textile industry for dye fixation, and in the water treatment industry for biocide applications.
How do I determine the correct dosage of xanthate for my process?
The optimal dosage of xanthate depends on factors like ore type, particle size, and desired separation efficiency. It is recommended to perform small-scale tests to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific application.
