Applications

⛏️ Mineral Flotation

Alkyl Hydroxamic Acid 60% is widely used as a collector for oxide ores, such as:

  • Ilmenite (Titanium ore)

  • Cassiterite (Tin ore)

  • Wolframite (Tungsten ore)

  • Rare Earth Minerals (e.g., monazite, bastnaesite)

Its selective nature makes it especially useful in differential flotation processes, improving the grade and recovery of target minerals while minimizing unwanted byproducts.

🌿 Environmentally Friendly Collector

Compared to conventional collectors like fatty acids, Alkyl Hydroxamic Acid is less toxic, biodegradable, and more efficient at lower doses, which reduces the environmental impact of tailings and process water discharge.

Advantages

  • ✅ High Selectivity: Targets specific oxide minerals with minimal gangue interference

  • ✅ Strong Collecting Ability: Promotes fast flotation response

  • ✅ Low Dosage Requirement: Economical usage with high recovery yields

  • ✅ Water-Soluble: Easy to mix and apply in flotation circuits

  • ✅ Versatile Application: Compatible with a range of pH levels and ore types

Storage and Handling

  • Packaging: 200 kg drums, 1000 L IBC totes, or as required

  • Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, and ventilated area away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizers

  • Shelf Life: 12 months under recommended conditions

  • Safety Precautions: Use personal protective equipment (PPE); avoid skin and eye contact

Conclusion

Alkyl Hydroxamic Acid 60% stands out as a next-generation flotation reagent, offering high selectivity, strong performance, and environmental safety in mineral beneficiation processes. With its high active content, it is a cost-effective solution for mining operations targeting complex oxide ores. Whether you’re processing rare earth elements, titanium-bearing minerals, or refractory oxide ores, Alkyl Hydroxamic Acid 60% delivers reliable, efficient, and sustainable results.
