Good Performance Sodium Diisobutyl Dithiophosphate for Gold/Silver/Copper/Flotation

Product Introduction

Sodium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate is a widely used collector in the flotation of non-ferrous metallic sulfide ores . This organophosphorus compound, with the general formula (C₄H₉O)₂PSSNa, is part of the dithiophosphate family (also known as "aerofloats") .

It serves as an effective collector for various sulfide minerals, including copper, lead, nickel, and zinc sulfides, as well as for gold and silver and other precious metals . A key characteristic of this reagent is its selective collecting power; it exhibits strong collecting ability for target minerals while showing a weaker action toward pyrite, which aids in achieving better separation in complex ores . It also possesses some frothing properties .

Compared to xanthate collectors, it generally offers better selectivity and is more stable . It is particularly valued in the differential flotation of polymetallic ores and in lead-zinc separation circuits .

Product Advantage

1.Sodium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate (Butyl Aerofloat) provides key advantages in selective flotation, primarily due to its superior selectivity for specific sulfide minerals. It demonstrates a strong affinity for copper, lead, and zinc sulfides while showing a notably weaker action on pyrite. This makes it highly effective in complex ore separation, particularly in circuits like lead-zinc differential flotation.

2.A major operational benefit is its enhanced stability and adaptability. It remains effective across a wider pH range compared to traditional xanthates and performs reliably in both alkaline and slightly acidic pulp conditions. Its chemical stability also contributes to more consistent performance throughout the flotation process.

3.Furthermore, this reagent offers excellent synergy in collector combinations. When used with xanthates, it can enhance overall recovery without compromising selectivity. It also generates stable yet manageable froth characteristics and shows particular effectiveness in the recovery of precious metals like gold and silver associated with sulfide ores.
