AERO®7260 HFP: Novel, Safe and Sustainable Alternative to Traditional Hazardous Modifiers
– NaSH, Nokes, Na2S, and Cyanide
• Applicability and Other Advantages – Does not contain any phosphorous or arsenic, so is
suitable in many MoS2 operations.
– Eliminates the need for N2 or covered cells.
Clearly, with such advantages, AERO®7260 HFP offers a
– Does not require extended conditioning time. significant technological step forward in minimizing human
and environmental hazards in Cu-Mo separations.

Proven Performance of AERO 7260 HFP – Lab and Plant Data

The cumulative Cu and Mo recoveries from the concentrate Mo recovery of greater than 95%. AERO 7260 HFP at 0.5
