No. 2 Oil Frother for Mineral Flotation

YuXing supplies Flotation Frother No. 2 Oil, also called No. 2 flotation oil, for mineral flotation circuits that require stable froth formation and practical reagent handling.

This frother is used in copper, lead, zinc, iron and other sulfide ore flotation. It can be evaluated together with collectors such as SBX, dithiophosphate collectors and modifiers from the mining chemicals catalog.

Selection Notes for Buyers

  • Confirm appearance, effective component and packaging before procurement.
  • Share ore type, froth behavior, flotation stage and dosage range.
  • Evaluate froth stability, bubble size and entrainment control in plant trials.
  • Request available safety and batch documents before shipment.

Packaging, Storage & Documents

Typical export packaging is a 180 kg steel drum. Store sealed in a cool, ventilated area away from heat and incompatible materials.

YuXing can coordinate available specifications, MSDS and commercial documents according to order requirements.

Froth Performance Variables for No. 2 Flotation Oil

No. 2 flotation oil should be selected by its behavior in the actual pulp, not by appearance alone. The useful comparison is whether the frother produces a mobile, drainable froth that carries target mineral without excessive water and fine-gangue entrainment.

Key Purchasing Parameters

  • Record ore type, grind size, pulp density, pH and water chemistry during trials.
  • Compare bubble dispersion, froth persistence, drainage and concentrate handling.
  • Test dosage changes together with collector dosage because the reagent balance affects selectivity.
  • Confirm effective component, drum net weight and available batch documents before shipment.

Compare dithiophosphate collectors, sodium butyl xanthate, mining chemicals as part of the wider process review; these products should not be treated as direct substitutes without application testing.

Information to Include in an Inquiry

Frequently Asked Questions

What is No. 2 flotation oil used for?

It is used as a flotation frother to help form and stabilize froth in mineral flotation circuits.

Is No. 2 Oil a collector?

No. It is a frother. Collectors make target minerals hydrophobic, while frothers control the bubble and froth phase.

How can I confirm dosage?

Dosage depends on ore type, pulp chemistry and target froth behavior. Plant trials are recommended.
