zinc sulphate hydrate storage
Zinc sulphate hydrate (both monohydrate and heptahydrate) should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area in tightly closed containers to prevent moisture absorption and caking. It is a hygroscopic substance, meaning it absorbs water from the air, so keeping it dry is essential for main...Read More -
Which Chemical Agents Are Most Effective in Wastewater Treatment?
In industrial production and daily life, wastewater treatment is a critical step for environmental protection and water resource recycling. Selecting the right chemicals not only improves treatment efficiency but also minimizes operational costs and reduces secondary pollution. So, which chemical...Read More -
Strait of Hormuz Disruption Could Deeply Impact Mining – Ivanhoe Mines
Robert Friedland, Founder and Executive Co-Chairman of Ivanhoe Mines, warns that a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz would have “profound” effects on global supply chains, driving up sulfur and sulfuric acid prices and causing shortages that constrain copper producers. Approxi...Read More -
Classification and Application of Ethyl Xanthate Frothing Agents
Principles of Ethyl Xanthate Froth flotation is a process in which target mineral particles selectively attach to air bubbles, rise to the slurry surface, and form a mineralized froth layer. This froth is then scraped or overflown to separate and enrich the desired minerals. Ethyl xanthate, a flo...Read More -

How to Choose Industrial Flake Caustic: Two Critical Indicators
When purchasing flake caustic specifically, avoid supplier misinformation by focusing on these two core indicators: Indicator 1: Purity (NaOH Content) Purity determines alkalinity and reaction efficiency. Industrial flake caustic typically comes in 96%, 98%, and 99% grades (100% purity is not com...Read More -
Caustic Soda vs. Flake Caustic: A Clear Guide for Procurement Professionals
Many newcomers to industrial chemicals often confuse “flake caustic” with “caustic soda,” assuming they are entirely different substances. Some believe they are the same—just different names. Neither is entirely accurate. In fact, both products share the same core ingredie...Read More -
Cyanide Depressants: Mechanism and Application in Flotation
In froth flotation, depressants prevent non-target minerals from adsorbing collectors by forming hydrophilic films. Cyanide-based depressants are effective for pyrite, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite – in that order of depressant effectiveness. Common cyanide depressants: sodium cyanide, potassium c...Read More -
Comprehensive Gold Leaching Test Workflow
Optimizing leaching parameters can increase recovery by 5–15% and reduce reagent costs by 10–30%. 1. Grinding Fineness Test Proper grinding liberates gold particles, essential for cyanide or non-cyanide leaching. Over-grinding increases costs and soluble impurities. Key finding: Every 10% increas...Read More -
