Sodium Bisulphite BS

Chemical appearance Dithiophosphate IBS or Sodium Diisobutyl Dithiophosphate has a yellowish and dark brown coloured appearance. It comes in a stable liquid form which has no strong smell. It has a PH level of 10 to 13. Chemical application and strength Dithiophosphate IBS or Sodium Diisobutyl Dithiophosphate is a very good collector of nickel, zinc minerals (activated), and copper ores. It is also used within gold harvesting plants because of its ability to increase harvest of precious metals. In the process of depressing iron sulphides, high levels of pH is needed which makes this floater the ideal one to use. Also great in the recovery process of refractory gold which is contained in sulphide matrices Compared to most collectors of sulphide, only a small amount of Dithiophosphate IBS is needed in the flotation process. This floater gives maximum value in recovering precious metals.

Chemical appearance: The appearance of Sodium metabisulfite is either in the form of white crystals or as a powdered solid with a slight odor of sulfur. Inhalation could lead to toxic results and can cause serious damages to skin and tissue. Sodium metabisulfite is clearly soluble in water and forms a clear and colorless solution. Chemical application and strengths: The primary applications of Sodium metabisulfite are evident in the mining industry. It is used for controlling the depression of pyrites and sphalerite minerals. MBS is ideal for pH control for the froth flotation process, where it could control pyrite depression. Sodium Metabisulfite is also helpful in preventing flotation of sphalerite through copper activation with the availability of Tennantite/Covellite in the ore. In the case of pyrite flotation, the maximum iron/pyrite depression with the use of Sodium Metabisulfite is possible somewhere around the pH of 6.

Chemical appearance: Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate (SIPX) is available in the solid powder form or in the shape of pellets. SIPX has the appearance of white to yellowish deliquescent solid in the powder form. The color of the SIPX pellets varies from yellow to green. In the solid powder form, SIPX emits a slightly pungent odour. In the pellet form, SIPX emits a sulphur like odour. Chemical application and strengths: The strength of SIPX for collection is slightly higher than that of ethyl xanthate. Therefore, it serves as the perfect tool for the flotation of nonferrous metallic sulfide minerals in the form of a collector. Xanthates have been known for being an integral part of sulfide mineral flotation. SIPX is actually a salt that contains a non-polar hydrocarbon group that helps in the hydrophobic nature of sulfide material, thereby pointing out from the mineral to the solution. The salt also contains a polar group that adsorbs onto the sulfide mineral surface.

Chemical Appearance Sodium Hydrosulfide NaHs is usually in the form of Yellow Flakes. Sodium hydrosulfide can also be in a solution form and appears as a colorless to light-yellow liquid. Chemical Applications NaHs main uses are in manufacturing as a replacement chemical for sulfur, as a flotation agent in copper mining where it is used to activate oxide mineral species and other various industries such as: Mining and mineral processing Tanning industry Dye industry Fertilizer industry Water treatment Manufacture of other chemicals e.g. ammonium sulphide Our sodium hydrosulfide maintains the highest quality standards required in the international market. With ISO 90001 manufacturing, we ensure high quality inputs and process to result in quality NaHS. Our clients mainly use NaHS for flotation of copper minerals. We have clients in Southern Africa, South America, Southeast Asia and other places.
