Product Description
Q80 Frother is a premium frothing agent developed for challenging flotation conditions, such as ores with high mud content, precious metals, and colored minerals. It enhances mineral separation by producing uniform, well-mineralized foam, contributing to an increased grade and recovery rate of concentrates. Q80 is especially effective in flotation with high argillaceous gangue content, reducing the viscosity of the flotation foam and improving the efficiency of target mineral recovery. Available as an amber or dark brown oily liquid, Q80 can be used directly as a raw liquid reagent.
Features
- Product Name: Frother Q80
- Appearance: Amber or dark brown oily liquid
- Composition:
- 2-(1-cyclohexenyl)
- 2-Cyclohexyl
- Usage: Raw liquid reagent, dosed according to ore conditions
- Dosage: Typically between 5-50 g per ton of ore
Applications
Q80 is ideal for various flotation conditions, particularly those involving high-mud or fine particle ores:
- High-Mud Content Ores: Produces stable foam, suitable for ores with substantial argillaceous gangue, improving flotation separation and concentrate grade.
- Fine Particle Size: Enhances mineral recovery in finely ground ores, reducing gangue mineral interference and boosting beneficiation indices.
- Colored and Precious Metal Ores: Optimizes flotation for complex ore compositions, aiding in the recovery of valuable minerals with improved concentrate purity.
Packing and Storage
- Packaging: Available in drums, IBC containers, and bulk options.
- Storage: Keep in a dry, ventilated area, away from heat and sunlight. Store according to "first in, first out" principles, preferably in plastic drums or coated steel drums.
Safety and Handling
Due to potential irritation to eyes and skin, Q80 should be handled with safety precautions:
- Protective Equipment: Use safety glasses, natural rubber gloves, and protective clothing.
- Environmental Considerations: Most of the frother is retained with the concentrate and destroyed during subsequent processing. Any remaining frother in the tailings should be contained, avoiding release into water systems.
Summary
Q80 Frother provides an efficient and reliable frothing solution for complex flotation processes, especially in challenging ores with high mud content or fine particles. It offers enhanced froth stability, selective mineral separation, and improved concentrate quality, making it an excellent choice for the mining industry's varied flotation requirements.
