Sodium hexametaphosphate is a flotation agent in beneficiation

 The entire phosphorus chemical market is undergoing changes and development, and phosphorus chemical products are also striving for excellence. Sodium hexametaphosphate is a flotation agent in beneficiation. Flotation is a process of separating mineral particles by using the difference in physical and chemical properties of mineral surfaces. It was formerly called flotation beneficiation and is the most widely used method of beneficiation.


The ore mined from the ground is called the raw ore, and the raw ore is generally composed of useful minerals and gangue. The grade of the raw ore is generally relatively low and cannot be smelted directly and needs to be processed first. Most of the gangue and harmful components are removed, and useful minerals are enriched into concentrates for use in the next step. This process of processing raw ore is called beneficiation.


According to the different beneficiation methods, it can be divided into magnetic separation, flotation, gravity separation, etc.


Almost all ores can be separated by flotation. Such as gold, silver, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, chalcocite, molybdenite, nickel pyrite and other "sulfide minerals", malachite, chalcogenite, zincite, heteropolar Separation of ore and oxide minerals such as hematite, cassiterite, wolframite, ilmenite, beryl, spodumene, rare earth metal minerals, and uranium ore. Selection of non-metallic minerals such as graphite, diamond, quartz, mica, feldspar and silicate minerals, non-metallic salt minerals such as fluorite, apatite, barite, and soluble salt minerals such as potash and rock salt.


Since sodium hexametaphosphate is a linear compound with a chain length of about 20-100 PO3- units, when it is adsorbed on the surface of minerals, it will aggravate the steric hindrance between the particles.


Sodium hexametaphosphate mainly acts as a dispersant. Prevent the aggregation of fine ore particles and make them in a monomer dispersion state, which has the opposite effect to the flocculant. The negative electricity on the surface of the slurry is enhanced, so that the repulsive force between the slurry particles is significantly improved. The polymerized macromolecules have a large water film, which effectively enhances the hydration of the slurry particles. Sodium hexametaphosphate complexes with calcium and magnesium ions in the pulp to form water-soluble complexes.

Non-antibiotic growth promoter potassium diformate helps pig industry return to its essence

  The high profitability of the pig industry will not last, and the future development of the industry still needs to return to the essence of pig raising. The non-antibiotic growth-promoting agent   potassium diformate  helps return to the essence of breeding and helps control the cost and quality of the pig industry. Biosecurity has become the access condition of today's pig industry. Potassium diformate has the following functions and functions to return the essence of pig farming to the breeding industry: (1) Adjust the palatability of feed and increase animal feed intake. (2) Improve the environment of the animal's digestive tract and lower the pH of the stomach and small intestine. (3) It has anti-bacterial and growth-promoting effects. The addition of potassium diformate can significantly reduce the content of anaerobic bacteria, Lactobacillus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella in each segment of the digestive tract. Improve the resistance of animals to diseases and reduce

The manufacturer tells you the dispersing effect of sodium hexametaphosphate

The dispersing effect of sodium hexametaphosphate is due to its hydrolyzed anions adsorbed on the particle surface. In order to improve the dispersing effect, the hydrolysis degree of the dispersant can be selectively increased. It is believed that we all know that the function of dispersant is to increase the distance between the large particles to be dispersed in the solution and reduce the viscosity of the whole solution. However, the amount of   sodium hexametaphosphate   used in the dispersion of different substances is also different. In the process of material dispersion, the surface of large particles adsorbs the dispersant to form a double electric layer, and anions are closely adsorbed on the surface of particles, which is called surface ions. Ions with opposite charges in the medium are called anti ions. In the process of medium movement, particles and particles, as well as the electric double layer and the electric double layer have the same charge, which will generate elec

The factory tells you food grade sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP requires heavy metal purification

Condiments, meat products, edible oil, dairy products, drinks, etc. are all necessities of daily life. Some food additives will be used in the production and processing process. The use of additives also makes people more concerned about "safety on the tip of the tongue".  Sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP  is widely used in food additives. Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group will show you the main applications of sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP in the food industry: 1. Food grade sodium tripolyphosphate is used in meat products, fish sausage, ham, etc., which can improve the water holding capacity, increase the cohesiveness and prevent fat oxidation; 2. For fruit drinks and cool drinks, it can improve the juice yield, increase the viscosity and inhibit the decomposition of vitamin C. 3. It can prevent discoloration, increase viscosity, shorten fermentation period and adjust taste when used in soybean paste and soy sauce. 4. For ice cream, it can improve the expansion capacity, increa
