Analysis and Treatment of Foaming Problem in the Synthesis Process of Butyl Xanthate
Taking the xanthate synthesis project of Jinduicheng Molybdenum Industry Group Co.Ltd as an example,aiming at the problem of foaming in the process of butyl xanthate synthesis,indoor simulation experiments and workshop production verification were adopted.Through the analysis of the production process and material properties,the causes and formation process of foaming were found out,and it was decided to add defoamers to eliminate foam.The results indicate that the reason for foaming is the organic impurities contained in the recovered carbon disulfide.The addition of 1800#and DS-350 defoamers has a good defoaming effect,and the amount of defoamer added is relatively small,with stable properties.It has no adverse effect on the quality of xanthate products and mineral processing efficiency.
