One entrepreneur asked me: "The reagent manufacturer told me that I can not use xanthates because I have small flotation machines in my plant. Is that true?"

One entrepreneur asked me: "The reagent manufacturer told me that I can not use xanthates because I have small flotation machines in my plant. Is that true?"

I answered: "No, this is not true. The reagent manufacturer is mistaken, in which case we could not have flotated in the laboratory. The laboratory cells are much smaller than you have.
We have been using xanthates for almost 100 years. The volume of flotation machines o cells is from 60 ml to 600 m3"
