Animal-based Oleic Acid
Molecular Weight: 282.46
Animal oleic acid is produced by hydrolyzing and refining animal fats. It is a brownish-yellow oily liquid with a distinct smell. It is often used as an oxidizing ore flotation collector and is commonly employed in the separation of minerals such as fluorite, barite, and hematite. It can also be used in combination with other chemicals and is highly cost-effective in small and medium-sized mining beneficiation processes.

Safety, Storage, and Transport
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, and well-sealed environment, protected from light; keep away from sources of ignition and oxidizing agents. Packaged in iron drums; shelf life is 12 months.
Transport
Transport as a general chemical; protect against exposure to direct sunlight, rain, and physical damage. Do not transport together with strong acids or strong oxidizing agents.
Emergency Measures
For spills, absorb with inert material. For fires, use foam, dry powder, or carbon dioxide extinguishers. In case of skin contact, rinse thoroughly with soap and water.
Product advantages
Strong froth-forming ability, quick flotation effect, can effectively improve mineral recovery rate; lower raw material cost, more cost-effective compared to natural oleic acid; suitable for medium-high temperature mineral slurry environment, stable performance under regular water quality; moderate foam, convenient for subsequent mineral slurry dehydration treatment.
FAQ
Q1: What's the difference from natural oleic acid?
A: The sources are different. The cost of animal oleic acid is lower and it has a stronger odor.
Q2: What should be noted when storing?
A: Store it sealed and protected from light. In a low-temperature environment, oxidation and deterioration can be reduced.
Q3: Which ores are suitable for it?
A: It is mainly used for the flotation of oxidized ores such as fluorite, barite, and hematite.
