Product Description

In mineral processing, selecting the right collector is crucial for improving recovery rates and optimizing flotation efficiency. YX3477, a high-efficiency, selective dialkyl dithiophosphate (DTP) aqueous solution collector, has demonstrated outstanding performance in the flotation of copper, nickel, gold, silver, platinum, and other metal minerals, making it an ideal choice for mining operations.

 

Key Features

Strong Selectivity: Compared to other thiol collectors, YX3477 exhibits stronger selectivity in copper flotation, effectively separating copper sulfides from iron sulfides. It is also highly effective in the flotation of copper-activated zinc minerals.
Broad Application Range:

• Suitable for copper-cobalt ores, nickel ores, antimony ores, and chalcocite flotation, significantly improving metal recovery.
• Excellent flotation ability for oxidized copper minerals, ensuring high recovery efficiency in sulfide-oxide mixed ores.
  Non-Foaming Property: YX3477 generates minimal foam, making flotation operations more controllable and ideal for use with other frothers.
  Wide pH Adaptability: Works efficiently in a pH range of 4-12, making it more suitable for low-pH conditions compared to xanthate collectors.
  Quick Activation with Short Conditioning Time: Requires minimal slurry conditioning time and can be added in stages for improved flotation efficiency.

 

Applications

Copper Ores: Especially effective for copper-sulfide ore flotation, selectively floating copper while suppressing iron sulfides.
Nickel Ores: Enhances flotation efficiency and improves nickel recovery rates.
Precious Metal Ores: Improves the recovery of gold, silver, and platinum.
Oxidized Copper Ores: Highly efficient in floating oxidized copper minerals, ensuring high copper recovery.
Copper-Cobalt Ores: Works well in mixed flotation of copper and cobalt minerals, often used in combination with thiol collectors for enhanced recovery.

 

Recommended Usage

Can be used alone or in combination with xanthate collectors, with better results when combined with xanthates.
Recommended to be diluted to 5-20% solution before adding, with mild agitation to ensure uniformity.
Dosage Recommendation: 10-50g per ton of ore, depending on ore characteristics and flotation process optimization.

 

Packaging Options

Plastic Drums: 200kg per drum, 80 drums (16 tons) per 20-ft container.
IBC Totes: 1100kg per IBC, 20 IBCs (22 tons) per 20-ft container.

 

Conclusion

YX3477, with its high selectivity, non-foaming nature, broad applicability, and outstanding flotation performance, is an ideal collector for copper, nickel, precious metal, oxidized copper, and copper-cobalt flotation. It helps mining operations increase recovery rates, lower processing costs, and optimize flotation processes.
