1,1,3-Triethoxybutane Frother (TEB)
CAS Number: 4739-71-3
1,1,3-Triethoxybutane (TEB) is a selective acetal-based frother widely used in flotation circuits where froth selectivity and rapid breakdown are critical. It produces a highly selective froth with minimal gangue entrainment, making it particularly suitable for differential flotation of copper-molybdenum or copper-lead-zinc systems. TEB frother enables tighter control of froth transport, reducing water recovery and improving concentrate dewatering.
