Product Description

Dithiophosphate Collectors are organosulphur flotation reagents belonging to the xanthate family of collectors. They are highly effective for the selective recovery of base metal sulphide minerals including copper, lead, zinc and nickel ores.

Supplied as a liquid concentrate, our dithiophosphate collector offers excellent selectivity over iron sulphides and gangue minerals, reducing reagent consumption and improving concentrate grades. Suitable for use with a range of frothers in conventional flotation circuits.

Applications

  • Flotation of copper sulphide ores
  • Lead and zinc ore concentration
  • Nickel and cobalt sulphide recovery
  • Selective flotation over iron sulphides (pyrite depression)
  • Precious metal (gold, silver) recovery in sulphide circuits
  • Polymetallic ore processing
