Petroleum Sulfonate Collector
CAS Number: 68608-26-4
Petroleum Sulfonate collectors are anionic surfactants derived from petroleum refining by-products, used in the flotation of heavy metal oxide ores, phosphate rocks, and iron ores. Their mixed chain length composition provides both strong collecting ability and good selectivity over silicate gangue when used with appropriate modifiers. Petroleum Sulfonates offer a cost advantage over synthetic collectors for large-tonnage oxide mineral flotation operations.
