Sodium Alkyl Hydroxamic Acid ≥ 26% – High-Performance Reagent for Industrial Applications
At City Chemicals EU, we specialize in supplying premium-grade reagents designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern laboratories, mining operations, and chemical industries. One of our flagship products is Sodium Alkyl Hydroxamic Acid (≥ 26%), a trusted flotation collector and reagent widely recognized for its efficiency, stability, and consistency in mineral separation processes.
What is Sodium Alkyl Hydroxamic Acid?
Sodium Alkyl Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA) is an advanced chemical reagent primarily used as a collector in the flotation of oxide minerals. With a concentration of ≥ 26%, this solution provides high activity and strong selectivity, making it particularly effective in the beneficiation of rare earth minerals, tungsten, tin, niobium, and tantalum ores. Its unique composition allows it to bind selectively to mineral surfaces, enhancing flotation efficiency and recovery rates.
How It Works
In flotation processes, collectors such as SAHA attach to mineral particles, increasing their hydrophobicity and enabling efficient separation. Sodium Alkyl Hydroxamic Acid is valued for its strong chelating ability with metal ions and stable performance across a wide pH range. This ensures reliable flotation results in complex ore processing environments, reducing waste and maximizing output.
Key Benefits

Safety and Handling
Safety is central to our supply standards. Sodium Alkyl Hydroxamic Acid ≥ 26% should be handled with care using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Always ensure adequate ventilation in work areas. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if irritation occurs. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete guidelines.
Longevity and Storage
When stored under recommended conditions, Sodium Alkyl Hydroxamic Acid maintains stability and effectiveness for extended periods. It should be kept in sealed containers, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and incompatible substances. Shelf life typically ranges from 12 to 24 months, depending on storage conditions.
