Flotation reagents are chemical substances used in the flotation process, which are crucial for separating useful minerals from ores. Flotation is a mineral processing method combining physics and chemistry. By adding reagents to the pulp, the surface properties of minerals and the characteristics of foam can be changed, so as to achieve effective separation of minerals.

Butylammonium black medicineButylammonium black medicine: white powder, extremely soluble in water, content 95%, valid for two years. It is synthesized by the reaction of butanol, phosphorus pentasulfide and ammonium gas. It has strong chemical stability and can be well collected in acidic slurry. As a result, it has a strong ability to collect galena, nickel, and antimony ores, especially metal sulfide ores containing platinum, gold, and silver when used in conjunction with other chemicals, which is beneficial to the recovery of platinum, gold, and silver.Butylammonium has foaming properties, and the foam is thick and brittle.

mercury
Mercury is a chemical element with the symbol Hg and atomic number 80, belonging to the IIB group in the periodic table. It is a shiny silver-white heavy liquid at room temperature and pressure, and is the only metal that exists in a liquid state under these conditions. Mercury has a melting point of -38.87°C and a boiling point of 356.6°C, with a density of 13.59 g/cm³. Its chemical properties are stable at room temperature, but mercury vapor and its compounds are highly toxic (chronically). Mercury has the ability to dissolve many metals (such as gold and silver), forming mercury alloys, also known as amalgams.
