In the mining industry, separating valuable minerals from unwanted carbonaceous materials such as graphite, organic carbon, and free carbon can be a significant challenge. These carbon-rich minerals often interfere with the flotation of target minerals, affecting both the grade and recovery rate. D486 is a specially formulated flotation depressant designed to address this issue. With its ability to selectively target and suppress fine-grained carbon minerals, D486 enhances flotation efficiency, helping mining companies achieve higher-quality concentrates while reducing chemical usage.
1. Highly Effective in Suppressing Carbonaceous Minerals
D486 is primarily used to suppress fine-grained carbon minerals like graphite, organic carbon, and free carbon during flotation. These carbon minerals often adsorb onto valuable minerals, competing for collector attachment and negatively affecting the flotation process. By making the surfaces of graphite, organic carbon, and free carbon strongly hydrophilic, D486 prevents these minerals from adsorbing to the target minerals, ensuring that valuable minerals can interact efficiently with the collector. This results in more efficient flotation and improved recovery rates.
2. Improved Concentrate Grade and Recovery
One of the main benefits of using D486 is its ability to significantly improve the grade and recovery of the target mineral concentrate. By reducing the interference caused by carbonaceous minerals, D486 allows for a more selective flotation of the target minerals, whether copper, gold, lead-zinc, or other rare precious metals. The result is higher-quality concentrates with better recovery rates, optimizing the overall performance of the flotation process.
3. Reduces the Need for Excessive Collectors and Frothers
D486 not only improves the flotation process but also helps reduce the dosage of collectors and frothing agents. By efficiently targeting carbonaceous minerals, D486 reduces the amount of reagents needed, leading to cost savings and more sustainable operations. This reduction in chemical consumption not only lowers operational costs but also helps minimize the environmental impact associated with reagent use.
4. Versatile and Flexible Application
D486 is suitable for use in the flotation of a wide range of ores, particularly colored metals and rare precious metals such as copper, gold, and lead-zinc. The recommended dosage ranges from 50-1000 g/ton of raw ore, depending on the characteristics of the ore and the flotation process. It can be added to the flotation process in various locations, including the stirring drum, flotation tank, or even the ball mill, providing flexibility in its application across different mining operations.
Packaging:
Storage:
Store D486 in a dry, well-ventilated place away from heat and direct sunlight. Follow the "first in, first out" storage principle to ensure product freshness. Keep the product away from strong acids, bases, oxidizing agents, reducing agents, or open flames to maintain safety and quality.
Though D486 is manufactured to meet the highest quality standards, it is important to handle the product with care. Always read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before handling. Proper safety precautions include wearing safety glasses, a face shield, natural rubber gloves, and protective clothing. Inhalation of vapors should be avoided, and adequate ventilation should be ensured in the handling area. D486 may cause irritation to the eyes and skin, so safe handling is essential.
The majority of D486 is bound with the concentrate during the flotation process and is destroyed during subsequent processing operations. The remaining product is transferred to the tailings, where it poses minimal environmental impact. However, to avoid contamination of water systems, D486 should not be released into aquatic environments. Its environmentally responsible formulation ensures that it has a minimal ecological footprint when used properly.
Enhanced Mineral Recovery
D486 efficiently targets and suppresses unwanted carbonaceous minerals, ensuring that valuable ores such as copper, gold, and lead-zinc are not compromised by the flotation of graphite or organic carbon. This leads to improved mineral recovery rates and better concentrate quality.
Cost-Effective
By reducing the need for excessive reagents such as collectors and frothing agents, D486 helps lower overall flotation costs. It offers a more efficient solution for suppressing carbon minerals, enabling mining companies to optimize their chemical usage and reduce operational expenses.
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly
D486 minimizes the environmental impact of flotation operations. The depressant's formulation ensures that it is mostly bound with the concentrate, and any remaining product is safely transferred to tailings. Its environmentally conscious design makes it a suitable choice for companies committed to sustainable mining practices.
In the competitive world of mineral extraction, D486 provides a highly effective and environmentally friendly solution for suppressing carbonaceous minerals during flotation. By improving the recovery rate and grade of target mineral concentrates, reducing reagent consumption, and ensuring minimal environmental impact, D486 is a vital tool for mining companies aiming to optimize their flotation processes.
Choose D486 to improve your ore processing, enhance flotation efficiency, and achieve sustainable, cost-effective operations. With D486, you can take your flotation process to the next level while maintaining a strong commitment to environmental responsibility.
