USES
Our MIBC is a proven frother widely used in treating base metals which produces a brittle froth. It is especially suited for lead and zinc sulfides at a very fine particle size and high throughput. It is also used successfully in coal processing. Our MIBC is an aliphatic neutral frother. It is used in concentrations as low as 900ppm or less.
Other uses of MIBC are:
- Ingredient in lube oil additives for anti-wear and corrosion inhibitions
- Additive to surface coatings
FEATURES
- Composition of MIBC which is synthetic is more stable, giving consistency and predictability in process outcome
- Alcohol group provides a selective, often brittle froth, allowing good control and subsequent material transfer through the launders and pumps
- Alcohols generally have no collector properties. The presence of collecting and frothing properties in the same reagent makes selective flotation difficult. A good frother should have negligible collecting power and also produce a froth which is just stable enough to facilitate the transfer of floated mineral from the flotation cell surface to collecting launder.
- In processing ore bodies with clays, MIBC can be mixed with pine oil which is less sensitive to the presence of clays

It is a colourless liquid that when undiluted is also called glacial acetic acid. It has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell.
Acetic acid uses: Additive in industrial explosives in Mining.
Other uses include use of acetic acid in the production of vinyl acetate monomer, acetic anhydride and ester production.
Chemical gassing agents -In the case of emulsion explosives, using Acetic acid can accelerate the gassing process. The chemically gassed emulsions may take 40 – 50 minutes for completion of gassing within the blast holes, particularly when the emulsion is colder.
In cases where acetic acid is used, it is added to the emulsion prior to gassing, the desired amount of acid is mixed in the emulsion, before adding the gasser.
A gassing solution comprising sodium nitrite in water together with the selected enol compound and acetic acid is introduced into the emulsion explosive at the blast hole by entraining the gassing solution into a stream of the emulsion explosive using pumps.
The solution pH is an important parameter in the gassing of emulsion explosives due to the high cost associated with acid addition therefore a pH value should preferably be maintained at 4.1 or below.

4.Environmental impact
- Acetic acid biodegrades readily under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
- Acetic acid does not absorb light with wavelengths >290 nm(4), and is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).
- Incase of spillage neutralize spill with soda ash or lime.
