Product Overview

KIKI'S Industrial Chemicals serves as a dedicated cross-border supplier of Iron (II) Sulphate for the mining sector of the Democratic Republic of Congo, supporting copper-cobalt hydrometallurgy across the Katanga Copperbelt (Kolwezi, Likasi, Lubumbashi) and gold extraction circuits in Kivu and Ituri.

In copper-cobalt leaching and solvent extraction electrowinning (SX-EW) circuits, ferrous sulphate heptahydrate acts as a critical process chemical for controlling solution oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), precipitating dissolved heavy metals (arsenic, cobalt residues, copper traces), and detoxifying bleed streams prior to tailings disposal.

Our mining consignments are dispatched from Nairobi via established regional logistics corridors, arriving at mine sites in heavy-duty 50 kg moisture-barrier bags with bilingual English and French quality documentation.

Technical Description

At 98% minimum purity, each metric ton provides approximately 197 kg of reactive elemental bivalent iron (Fe2+). In gold cyanidation and polymetallic tailings circuits, Fe2+ complexes free cyanide and weak acid dissociable (WAD) cyanide into stable ferrocyanide species, precipitating insoluble iron cyanide complexes that comply with DRC Mining Code environmental discharge standards.

In mineral froth flotation, iron(II) sulphate functions as an effective selective depressant for iron sulfide minerals (pyrite and marcasite) during copper and zinc sulfide separation, depressing gangue sulfide flotation under neutral to alkaline pulp conditions.
