Product Description
Sodium Diethyl Dithiophosphate is a highly efficient flotation collector widely used in mineral beneficiation processes. This faint yellow or jasper liquid, with a purity of 49-51%, is specifically designed to enhance the flotation of copper sulfides, nickel-bearing minerals, and precious metals like gold and silver. Its unique composition and versatility make it an essential reagent for both sulfide and oxide ore beneficiation.
Key Features and Benefits
Superior Flotation Efficiency:
- Highly selective for copper sulfides in the presence of zinc and iron sulfides.
- Enhances recovery of precious metals, including gold, silver, and platinum.
- Performs effectively in bulk flotation of copper and cobalt minerals.
Broad Applicability:
- Suitable for sulfide-oxide copper ores, antimony minerals, and chalcocite.
- Functions well under various pH conditions (pH range 4-12), providing versatility in diverse ore types.
Optimal Dosage:
- Recommended usage ranges between 10-50 grams per metric ton of ore, depending on the ore type and processing requirements.
- Can be used alone or in combination with auxiliary collectors, such as xanthates, for improved performance.
Ease of Use:
- Requires minimal conditioning time, allowing for staged addition during flotation.
- Can be added undiluted or diluted to 5-20% solutions for easy handling.
