Product Description

Product Description

DC550 is a specialized copper depressant developed by Y&X Technology, designed specifically for effective separation in copper-molybdenum flotation processes. Appearing as a yellow to brown liquid, DC550 is formulated to provide strong inhibition of chalcopyrite and other sulfide minerals, making it ideal for treating high-sulfur copper-molybdenum ores. This product not only suppresses copper-bearing minerals but is also effective against gangue silicate minerals, enhancing the selectivity and efficiency of the flotation process.

Features

• Product Name: Depressant DC550
• Appearance: Yellow to brown liquid
• Dosage: Can be applied directly or diluted with water. Typical usage ranges from 30-1000 g/t, depending on the specific site conditions.
• Application: Effective in copper-molybdenum separation, DC550 is particularly useful for high-sulfur ores. It demonstrates strong inhibition of chalcopyrite, pyrite, and magnetite, and can be used in conjunction with lime to enhance its effect.
• Active Components:
  • Sodium thiosulfate
  • Xanthan gum
  • Water

Applications

DC550 is primarily used in the flotation separation of copper-molybdenum ores, especially those with high sulfur content. The depressant selectively suppresses copper-bearing minerals like chalcopyrite, allowing molybdenum minerals to be more efficiently recovered. It also acts on silicate gangue minerals, further improving the quality and purity of the final concentrate.

DC550 is suitable for various flotation applications in:

• Copper-Molybdenum Separation: Strong inhibition of chalcopyrite, helping achieve higher molybdenum recovery rates.
• Suppression of Other Sulfides: Effective against pyrite and magnetite, aiding in the selective recovery of target minerals.

Packaging and Shipping

• Packaging Options:
  • Available in 250 kg drums
  • 1250 kg IBC drums for bulk requirements
• Storage Instructions:
  • Store in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
  • Keep away from strong oxidizing or reducing agents and open flames.
  • Shelf life of up to 24 months under proper storage conditions.
• Transportation Precautions: Avoid violent impacts during transport to prevent spillage or damage.

DC550 should be handled with care to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment. Operators are advised to avoid contact with skin and eyes and to prevent the formation of dust and aerosols. Suitable protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection are recommended during handling.

Precautions:

• Avoid dust accumulation and wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
• Avoid releasing residual material into water systems to minimize environmental impact.

Environmental Impact

The majority of DC550 is retained with the concentrate and undergoes further processing, where it is effectively neutralized. Any residual amount is directed to the tailings, with minimal environmental release if handled correctly. Nevertheless, direct discharge into water systems should be avoided to protect the environment.

Summary

DC550 is a highly effective copper depressant, ideal for complex copper-molybdenum flotation processes. Its strong selectivity, especially for high-sulfur ores, allows for efficient separation, enhancing concentrate grades and improving recovery rates. With flexible packaging options and safety guidelines, DC550 provides a reliable, high-performance solution for mineral processing, offering both operational efficiency and environmental safety.
