Product Description

Product Description

Dithiophosphate 25S, also known as Sodium Dicresyl Dithiophosphate, is a high-performing flotation collector specifically designed for copper and lead sulfide ores. Its unique properties make it less effective for zinc sulfides, allowing preferential separation in flotation processes involving copper, lead, and zinc sulfide ores. Dithiophosphate 25S appears as a brown to dark brown liquid and is widely recognized for its effectiveness and reliability in mineral beneficiation.

 

Product Features

• Product Name: Dithiophosphate 25S
• Chemical Name: Sodium Dicresyl Dithiophosphate
• CAS No: 27157-94-4
• Appearance: Brown to dark brown liquid

Usage and Application

Dithiophosphate 25S is a preferred collector in the flotation of copper and lead sulfide ores due to its selective nature and excellent performance. It is particularly useful in:

1. Copper and Lead Sulfide Ores: Strong collecting power ensures high recovery rates.
2. Zinc Sulfide Separation: Its weak ability to collect zinc sulfide makes it suitable for preferential flotation, improving separation efficiency in complex ores.
3. Flotation Circuit Applications: Can be directly added to flotation circuits to enhance process performance.

Recommended Usage:

The product is typically used as an aqueous solution and should be added to the flotation circuit as per specific process requirements.

 

Packaging and Storage

Packaging Options:

1. Plastic Drums:
   • Net Weight: 200 kg per drum
   • Palletized: 4 drums per pallet, 80 drums per 20' FCL (16 MT total)
2. IBC Tanks:
   • Net Weight: 1000 kg per IBC
   • 20 IBCs per 20' FCL (20 MT total)

Storage Instructions:

• Store in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat and sunlight.
• Follow the "First In, First Out" principle to maintain quality.
• Avoid freezing.
• Use plastic drums or coated steel drums for safe storage.

 

Safety and Handling

• Avoid direct contact with eyes and skin.
• Use protective equipment, including safety glasses, splash shields, gloves, and protective clothing.
• Avoid inhalation of vapors; ensure proper ventilation during use.
• Always consult the MSDS for detailed safety guidelines.

 

Environmental Impact

Most of the collector is tied up with the concentrate and destroyed during subsequent processing. Minimal residual amounts transferred to the tailings should not be released into water systems to avoid environmental contamination.

 

Applications

1. Copper and Lead Flotation: Enhances recovery rates in sulfide ore processing.
2. Preferential Separation: Ideal for complex ores requiring the separation of copper, lead, and zinc sulfides.

 

Summary

Dithiophosphate 25S is a reliable and selective flotation collector tailored for copper and lead sulfide ore beneficiation. Its high performance, ease of use, and compatibility with various flotation processes make it an excellent choice for improving recovery rates and concentrate quality in mineral processing operations.
