Product Description
Xanthates are widely used flotation collectors in the mining and mineral processing industry, particularly for the flotation of sulfide minerals.
Different xanthates provide different collecting strength and selectivity. The appropriate product can be selected according to ore type, mineral composition, flotation conditions and the required recovery performance.
We supply a range of mining-grade xanthate collectors, including SIBX, SIPX, PAX, SEX and PEX, for copper, lead, zinc, nickel and other sulfide mineral flotation applications.

Xanthate Comparison
| Product | Abbreviation | Collecting Characteristic | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium Isobutyl Xanthate | SIBX | Strong collecting ability | Copper, lead, zinc and sulfide ores |
| Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate | SIPX | Balanced collection and selectivity | Copper, zinc and polymetallic ores |
| Potassium Amyl Xanthate | PAX | Strong collecting power | Copper, nickel and complex sulfide ores |
| Sodium Ethyl Xanthate | SEX | Relatively higher selectivity | Selected sulfide mineral flotation |
| Potassium Ethyl Xanthate | PEX | Selective collector option | Selected sulfide mineral flotation |
Collector performance depends on ore mineralogy, flotation conditions, pH and the complete reagent scheme.
Applications
Our xanthate flotation collectors can be used in various mineral processing applications, including:
- Copper Ore Flotation
- Lead-Zinc Ore Flotation
- Nickel Sulfide Flotation
- Polymetallic Ore Processing
- Gold-Bearing Sulfide Ore Flotation
- Other Sulfide Mineral Flotation
The appropriate xanthate and dosage should be selected according to the specific ore and flotation process.
How to Choose the Right Xanthate
Different ores require different flotation reagent solutions.
Factors such as ore mineralogy, target minerals, flotation pH, particle size, existing reagent scheme, required recovery and selectivity can affect collector selection.
If you are unsure whether SIBX, SIPX, PAX, SEX or PEX is more suitable for your flotation process, please provide information about your ore and current flotation conditions.
We can help you select an appropriate xanthate according to your application requirements.
Packaging
Different packaging options are available depending on the specific xanthate product and purchasing requirements.
Standard industrial export packaging can be provided for international shipments.
Please contact us to confirm the available packaging for your required product.
Storage & Handling
Xanthates should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, protected from moisture, heat and incompatible materials.
Handling, storage and transportation requirements may vary depending on the specific xanthate. Please refer to the corresponding SDS before use.
