In the evolving field of mineral processing, efficiency and innovation are essential. Y&X Beijing Technology Co., Ltd. has responded to this trend by developing a new generation of high-efficiency flotation reagents, specifically tailored for ilmenite and spodumene ores. These reagents not only improve mineral recovery rates and concentrate grades but also offer environmentally friendly alternatives that help reduce operational costs and minimize ecological impact. In this article, we discuss the benefits and features of Y&X's flotation reagents and how they contribute to the beneficiation of these critical minerals. Discover how our solutions can enhance your mineral processing operations, supporting both productivity and sustainability in today's market.
What are the Advantages of Y&X's New Generation Ilmenite Collectors?
Through continuous technological research and innovation, we have successfully developed a new generation of ilmenite flotation reagents with the following remarkable advantages:
High Recovery Rate and Selectivity:
The synergistic effect of multiple components ensures stable flotation froth with minimal entrainment, balancing recovery rate and selectivity. This results in the efficient recovery of target minerals, maximizing both economic benefits for enterprises.
Reduced Recleaning and Sulfuric Acid Consumption:
Special components enable selective collection of ilmenite, reducing the number of recleaning steps, simplifying the process, and lowering production costs. For example, in the case of an ilmenite ore with a grade of 15% from Sichuan, using conventional collectors requires four recleaning steps, with the slurry pH adjusted to 1-2, to obtain a concentrate with a grade exceeding 46.5%. However, with our company's new Y&X ilmenite collector, only two recleaning steps are needed, with the slurry pH adjusted to 3-4, to achieve a concentrate grade exceeding 46.5%. This not only reduces ilmenite losses during recleaning but also significantly improves production efficiency.
Non-Toxic and Easily Degradable:
All components of the collectors are made from non-toxic, biodegradable materials, reducing the pollution of flotation reagents to water bodies and preventing the excessive accumulation of flotation reagents in recycled water, which can deteriorate production indicators.
How Does Y&X's New Generation High-Efficiency Spodumene Flotation Reagent Effectively Address Market Challenges?
Driven by the global energy revolution, the demand for lithium has rapidly increased. As one of the primary sources of lithium, the recovery technology of spodumene has attracted significant attention in the mineral processing community. In response to the numerous challenges faced by traditional spodumene flotation reagents in improving recovery rates and concentrate grades, Y&X has developed a new generation of spodumene flotation reagents. These reagents not only significantly enhance the recovery rate and grade of spodumene but also reduce the environmental impact during the beneficiation process, helping enterprises achieve a win-win situation in terms of production efficiency and sustainable development.
What are the Features of Y&X's New Spodumene Collectors?
Excellent Collecting Performance:
After extensive testing and optimization, the new spodumene collectors rapidly form strong bonds with the active sites on the spodumene surface, increasing the hydrophobicity of mineral particles. The froth is stable and non-sticky, resulting in efficient mineral flotation and maximum lithium recovery.
Wide Ore Adaptability:
Whether dealing with low-grade spodumene ores or complex polymetallic ores, the new collectors demonstrate excellent adaptability and stability, maintaining superior collecting performance under various ore conditions, ensuring high efficiency and stability in the beneficiation process.
Eco-Friendly and Easily Degradable:
These reagents minimize pollution to water bodies and prevent excessive accumulation of flotation reagents in recycled water, which could otherwise lead to the deterioration of production indicators.
