TKI-330 | Proprietary Polysulfide-based Solution
TKI-330 for depression of iron and copper sulfides
TKI-330 is a water-based proprietary sulfide solution that acts as a mineral depressant in mining applications, especially in molybdenum recover circuits.
Mineral sulfides such as iron and copper are depressed by TKI-330 to facilitate molybdenum sulfide recovery and grade/concentration.
TKI-330 has been tested at several mines and results obtained demonstrate that it is an effective replacement for NaHS and/or FeCN as a copper/iron sulfide depressant, with virtually identical metallurgical results in molybdenum roughers and cleaners. Our sulfur-based products provide improved HSE profiles and are effective, high quality solutions for molybdenum recovery.
Why TKI-330?
- Provides virtually identical metallurgical recoveries relative to NaHS at similar dosages.
- Depresses copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) sulfides in the molybdenum circuit.
- Provides significant health, safety and environmental (HSE) advantages over NaHS with respect to handling, storage and application:
- Has a much lower hydrogen sulfide (H2S) vapor pressure in comparison to NaHS, especially at a lower pH operating range.
- Has a lower freezing point than NaHS: 18 to 25°F for TKI-330 vs nominal 40-60 °F for NaHS.
