LogiChem - The right chemistry

Chemicals

Antiscalents

Antiscalents are used for the control of scale build-up in pipes and equipment.

Products are specially formulated to suit each customer's needs and requirements.

Descalents

JosBlue™ Descaler

Josblue is an effective acidic liquid detergent specifically formulated to remove scale build-up and to clean heat exchangers.

Flushing heat exchangers regularly with JosBlue will greatly increase the intervals at which the heat exchanger plate packs need to be removed for chemical cleaning. Depending on the amount of scale-forming material in the elution fluid it may be necessary to flush the heat exchangers after each strip.

JosBlue is available in 25 litre, 200 litre and 1000 litre containers.

Flotation Reagents

Xanthates

Xanthates are used as flotation agents in mineral processing because they selectively link metal ore particles to air bubbles, this gives the precious metal, such as gold, buoyancy over the less valuable iron ore. The result allows the metal to be easily removed for further processing.

Xanthates are produced by the reaction of an alcohol with sodium or potassium hydroxide and carbon disulfide. The major xanthates produced worldwide include:

  • Sodium ethyl xanthate (SEX)
  • Sodium isopropyl xanthate (SIPX)
  • Sodium isobutyl xanthate (SIBX)
  • Potassium amyl xanthate (PAX)

LogiChem supplies xanthate in both solution and dry form.

Various process chemicals

Caustic Soda

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also known as lye and caustic soda, is a caustic metallic base. It is used as an alkalising agent. Specifically in the gold mining industry it is used as a pH adjuster, and in carbon stripping.

Pure sodium hydroxide is a white solid; available in pellets, flakes, granules and as a 50% saturated solution.

Ferric Sulphate

Iron (III) Sulphate (Fe2(SO4)3) or Ferric Sulphate has a variety of applications in water treatment. It can be used to neutralise alkaline water because it increases coagulation in water treatment and produces a large shift in pH.

LogiChem supplies ferric sulphate in both solution and dry form.
