Product Description
Depressant D471 is a specially formulated flotation reagent designed to effectively suppress clay minerals, such as montmorillonite and kaolinite, in various mineral processing applications. Suitable for weakly acidic to neutral pH environments, D471 works by reducing the interference of clay minerals, enhancing both concentrate grade and recovery rates. It also addresses the issue of fine tailings, enabling rapid settling in tailings water. When combined with water glass (sodium silicate), its performance improves significantly, making it an ideal choice for complex flotation systems.
Product Features
Usage and Application
Depressant D471 is primarily used in flotation processes to suppress clay minerals in a low-alkaline environment. Its unique composition allows it to be highly effective in separating valuable minerals from clay-heavy ores. Additionally, it enhances the clarity and rapid settling of tailings, making tailings management more efficient. For optimal performance, D471 can be used in a 1:1 to 3:1 ratio with water glass.
Packaging and Storage
Safety and Handling
To ensure safe handling of Depressant D471, avoid dust formation and minimize contact with skin and eyes. Operating personnel should wear protective clothing, gloves, and eye/face protection, following all operational guidelines closely.
Applications
Summary
Depressant D471 is a versatile and powerful reagent for suppressing clay minerals in mineral processing, particularly beneficial in complex flotation systems. Its robust performance in enhancing concentrate quality, managing tailings water, and compatibility with other reagents, such as water glass, makes it an ideal choice for challenging clay-heavy ores.
