The biodegradability of flotation reagents has very important impact on mine environment. The aerobic biodegradation of n-amyl xanthate as the sole substrate was studied, and the biodegradation kinetics process is also illustrated. The result indicated that: the loss of n-amyl xanthate was negligible, and the abiotic degradation was relatively minor. The aerobic biodegradation of n-amyl xanthate as the sole substrate follows the zero order enzyme reaction kinetics equation. The biodegradation reactions fit the Monod model, and the Ks and qmax were 47.51, 0.05295, respectively.
