Volzhsky Orgsynthese has signed a contract with GIAP for design documentation development as a part of butyl potassium xanthogenate production unit construction project in the territory of Volzhsky Orgsynthese (Volgograd region, Volzhsky). The capacity of the unit is 20 000 TPY.
The contract was signed by Volzhsky Orgsynthese General Director Mr Viktor Yurov and GIAP General Director Mr Egor Krivchun .
The project's scope of work envisages the provision of a complex of works including adaptation of basic design package developed by the foreign company to Russian norms and regulations, development of design documentation based on the basic design and initial design data, engineering surveys, development of main technical solutions, approval of design documentation in authorized state bodies and expert examinations arrangement.
Currently the similar butyl potassium xanthogenate unit with capacity 26 500 TPY is successfully operating in the territory of Volzhsky Orgsyntez. The new unit will allow the company to increase its production capacity by 20,000 tons per year.
Butyl potassium xanthate is a flotation agent used as a concentrating agent for concentration of ores of heavy, nonferrous, noble and rare metals and native copper. It is effectively applied in hydrometallurgical industry for sulfide ores flotation and lead and copper oxidized minerals after sulfidization.
It is also used as an ultraaccelerator for self-vulcanizing adhesives, low-temperature vulcanization and for analytical determination of molybdenum.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2022.
