Powerful Collector for Sulfide Ore Flotation

Potassium Amyl Xanthate (PAX) is an organosulfur compound commonly used as a flotation collector in mineral processing. It enhances the hydrophobicity of sulfide minerals, facilitating their separation from gangue. PAX is especially effective for sulfide ores containing copper, zinc, lead, and gold. Its balance of strength and selectivity makes it an essential reagent in mining operations globally.
