What is Xanthates? Liquid Xanthate is orange to orange brown solution with characteristic pungent xanthates odour, which can be a foul or offensive odour to people, especially to people that are not associated with the metal extraction industry.
Where is it applied?
Xanthates are used in the mining industry as flotation collectors of gold, silver, lead, copper or nickel ores. The flotation circuit produces air bubbles covered in concentrated metal ore, which are recovered as concentrate.
We manufacture Sodium Ethyl Xanthate in a liquid form. We have the capability to manufacture other grades of Xanthates, depending on the customers needs.
The liquid xanathate is transported to the mine site by road tankers and transferred into the site Xanthate storage tank, eliminating the need to handle and dissolve solid material. We also completely eliminate the packaging waste by sourcing all raw materials as bulk liquids and deliver the product in dedicated liquid road tankers.
