The order of Hydroxamate flotation testing was first OXFLO for 3 days, then AXISHOUSE’s tests were performed 3 weeks later for 7 days. The results of each “Ore Type” or Samples tested by OXFLO (OxF) and AXISHOUSE (AH or Axis) is graphically displayed and evaluated in this report. Prior to testing their chemicals, each “Ore … Read more
Here is a comparison of two Hydroxamate Collectors used for the flotation of Oxide copper, namely CTC3 from OXFLO and AM2 (AKA Rinkalore) from AXISHOUSE. This report contains a comparison of the scoping test-work done by both suppliers to determine which one is the best Oxide Collector . Test Summary #1 Flotation by Hydroxamate: OXFLO’ … Read more
The earlier versions of OXFLOAT CTC3 had been in production since 1972 and currently Oxflo’s manufacturing partner supplies 700 mt of this product to their local market annually. They have a further manufacturing capacity of 800 mt, taking them to a total of 1500 mt per year. Currently OXFLOAT CTC3 has displaced AM2 at one … Read more
Let me point you to two good papers on the flotation of mixed copper oxide and sulphide minerals with xanthate and hydroxamate collectors. A great detailed thesis called “An Investigation of Copper Recovery from a Sulphide-Oxide Ore with a Mixed Collector System” and one called “Flotation of mixed copper oxide and sulphide minerals with xanthate and … Read more
