Industrial Grade COPPER(II) SULFIDE CAS#1317-40-4

This industrial coarse copper sulfide is manufactured via dry-phase mineral synthesis, delivering stable effective copper content. Its controlled free sulfur residue helps curb excessive sulfur dioxide release during high-temperature smelting. The coarse granular powder reduces floating loss inside flotation cells, making it well suited for standard flotation processes adopted by non-ferrous metal concentrators.

Industrial Grade COPPER(II) SULFIDE|CAS#1317‑40‑4

H2: Product Overview

Industrial‑grade copper(II) sulfide is manufactured by dry‑phase mineral synthesis process. It features stable effective copper content, while controlled free‑sulfur residue restrains excessive sulfur‑dioxide overflow under high‑temperature smelting conditions. Its coarse granular powder minimizes floating loss within flotation tanks, making it highly compatible with conventional flotation workflows operated by non‑ferrous metal concentrators.

H2: Product Application

H3: Mineral Processing & Flotation Industry

It functions as a high‑performance flotation activator for sulfide ores of copper, zinc and lead. By improving the hydrophobic property of target mineral surfaces, it effectively lifts the concentrate recovery rate for ore‑dressing plants.

H3: Non‑Ferrous Metallurgy Field

Acts as critical intermediate feedstock for non‑ferrous copper smelting. It participates in the production chain for electrolytic copper and multiple inorganic copper‑salt chemical syntheses.

H3: Potential Extended Industrial Usage

Besides mineral beneficiation and smelting, this product can also serve as raw material for related sulfide‑based chemical preparation for auxiliary industrial projects.

H2: Key Product Strengths

H3: Stable Batch‑to‑batch Performance

Strict process control over dry‑phase mineral synthesis guarantees consistent effective copper content from batch to batch. Free‑sulfur residuals are tightly regulated to avoid excess sulfur‑dioxide emissions during smelting operations.

H3: Optimized Granular Property for On‑site Operation

Coarse‑grained powder greatly reduces floating loss in flotation cells. It adapts well to existing production equipment without extra modification for most mineral‑processing plants.

H3: Long‑term Supply Reliability

Annual long‑term supply contracts are available for large‑scale mineral concentrators and smelting enterprises, securing stable raw‑material supply for continuous mass‑production schedules.

H2: Packaging, Storage & Transportation

H3: Standard Bulk‑shipping Packaging

Standard packing: 25 kg woven bag equipped with PE inner liner for bulk shipment. The inner PE liner delivers moisture‑proof performance, and outer woven bags offer mechanical protection for sea and land freight. Customized packaging specifications are negotiable for large‑volume orders.

H3: Storage Recommendations

Store in cool, dry and ventilated warehouse. Keep sealed and avoid prolonged exposure to humid air. Keep apart from strong oxidants to prevent unexpected chemical degradation.

H3: Transport Notes

Ship as general industrial chemical goods. Please refer to MSDS for complete handling guidance. We support FCL and LCL ocean shipment for overseas bulk cargo.

H2: Delivery Schedule

H3: In‑stock Items

Shipment within 2‑3 working days upon payment confirmation.

H3: New‑production Orders

Production lead‑time: 7‑10 working days for freshly manufactured batches.
Remark: Above lead‑time excludes international ocean transit time; schedule may be slightly adjusted during peak production or logistics
seasons. We will send real‑time progress updates for each order.

H2: Export Supporting Documents

Full set of export papers can be supplied to facilitate overseas bulk‑cargo customs clearance:
  • Batch‑specific COA (Certificate of Analysis)

  • MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)

  • Commercial invoice, packing list and other customs‑required export documents

H2: Target End‑Users

  • Large‑scale non‑ferrous mineral processing & ore‑dressing plants

  • Copper smelting factories for electrolytic copper production

  • Manufacturers engaged in inorganic copper‑salt chemical synthesis

  • Global chemical raw‑material trading companies & bulk‑material distributors

H2: Factory & Production Capacity

Our production workshop adopts standardized dry‑phase mineral synthesis production lines. An independent QC laboratory conducts sampling inspection for every production batch to verify copper content, sulfur residue and particle‑size indicators before delivery. Factory and equipment introduction materials are available upon request for customer audit. We support both spot bulk supply and long‑term framework supply agreements.

H2: After‑sales & Technical Support

H3: Pre‑sales Technical Consulting

Our technical team can offer parameter reference and usage suggestions according to your flotation or smelting process conditions, helping you confirm suitable product specifications.

H3: After‑sales Response

Working‑day feedback within 24 hours for quality‑related inquiries. If product quality fails to match contracted specifications, we will coordinate follow‑up solutions. Technical guidance for on‑site usage is available; improper operation caused by client side is not covered by quality compensation.

H2: FAQ

H3: Can I get small trial quantity before placing bulk orders?

Our MOQ for bulk goods is ≥1 MT; small‑quantity trial lots can be discussed case‑by‑case.

H3: Is long‑term annual supply contract acceptable?

Yes. Long‑term supply contracts are negotiable for large mineral‑processing and smelting enterprises, helping stabilize raw‑material cost and delivery cycles.

H3: Can particle size or partial indicators be adjusted for custom requirements?

Customized technical indicators can be evaluated for large‑volume stable orders; please share your detailed process requirements with our sales team.

H3: What trade terms can you support for overseas bulk cargo?

We support EXW, FOB, CIF and other common international trade terms. We cooperate with mature freight forwarders to arrange port‑to‑port shipment.
