Chemical application and strengths: Despite being a monohydrate salt (crystallized from clod water) the salt can also crystalize in hot water to become anhydrous (water-free). This property becomes possible as it has a high melting point of 156 degrees Celsius. This property along with the ability to bond with other metal ions to form complex molecules makes it a good chelating agent for several industrial applications. Some of these applications include the removal of limescale from evaporators and boilers. The industrial-grade citric acidis one of the active agents in the preparation of kitchen and bathroomcleaning agents. It is a strong breach with a PH of about 3.2, which makes it a good solution of removing rust from metals such as steel as it combines with rust particles with ease. In the same line, it reacts with free ions on the surface of stainless steel to prevent further corrosion.

Chemical appearance: Anhydrous citric acid is presented in a white crystalline powder. It is also packaged in the form of colorless granules or crystals. The crystals have no odor but have a strong acid taste. Chemical application and strengths: Anhydrous citric acid has similar properties to citric acid monohydrate. The difference is the crystallization procedure. While the monohydrate citric acid is crystalized in cold water, the anhydrous forms are crystallized in water at a temperature of 78 degrees Celsius. In the process, it loses all the water within the crystals. Citric acid anhydrous is one of the strong edible acids. Due to that property, it is a common food additive to enhance its flavor. It is also used for preservation of foods especially candies and soft drinks. In addition, it reacts with different metals to form citrate salts that are used as dietary supplements for people who lack minerals such as iron, sodium and magnesium.

Chemical appearance: Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate (SIPX) is available in the solid powder form or in the shape of pellets. SIPX has the appearance of white to yellowish deliquescent solid in the powder form. The color of the SIPX pellets varies from yellow to green. In the solid powder form, SIPX emits a slightly pungent odour. In the pellet form, SIPX emits a sulphur like odour. Chemical application and strengths: The strength of SIPX for collection is slightly higher than that of ethyl xanthate. Therefore, it serves as the perfect tool for the flotation of nonferrous metallic sulfide minerals in the form of a collector. Xanthates have been known for being an integral part of sulfide mineral flotation. SIPX is actually a salt that contains a non-polar hydrocarbon group that helps in the hydrophobic nature of sulfide material, thereby pointing out from the mineral to the solution. The salt also contains a polar group that adsorbs onto the sulfide mineral surface.

Chemical appearance T – 610 has pinkish orange colour and comes in plaster of powder form. It is chemically stable and has no strong odour. It is sparingly dissolvable in water but very soluble within alkali solutions. Chemical application and strength T – 601 is a great collector which has excellent selectivity characteristics in the right conditions compared to that of SHA or SalicylHydroxamic Acid. It has the ability to form chemically stable chelate with copper, tin, iron, various rare earth minerals, copper, tungsten, and many more. But with alkali and earth metals, the T – 601 forms unstable chelate. Very soluble in water. Exhibits great selectivity characteristics in the flotation of select metal ores, particularly tin. It is always used along with P86 in the flotation process of tin.
