Ammonium Dibutyl Dithiphosphate
Description
Used as an excellent collector with frothing performance in flotation of nonferrous metallic minerals. It exhibits specific properties for separating silver, copper, lead and activated zinc sulfide minerals and difficult polymetallic ores. The collective performance of Dithiophosphate BA is weak for the pyrite and magnetizing pyrite, but is strong for the galena in the weak base ore pulp. It is also useful in the flotation of nickel and antimony sulfide minerals and is especially useful in the flotation of nickel sulfide mineral with low flotability, mixture of sulfide-oxide nickel ores and middlings of sulfide with gangue. Dithiophosphate BA is also helpful in recovery of platinum, gold and silver.

FAQ
Q1: What are the product’s physical form and quality indexes?
A: It is white to iron grey powder; effective mineral content ≥95%, insoluble impurities ≤0.5%. Its molecular formula is (C4H9O)2PSS⋅NH4.
Q2: What is the basic function of BA Dithiophosphate?
A: It is an efficient flotation collector with inherent frothing property for non-ferrous metal sulfide minerals.
Q3: What kinds of ores is this product suitable for flotation?
A: Suitable for copper, lead, activated zinc sulfide, nickel, antimony sulfide and complex refractory polymetallic ores; also applicable to recover precious metals including gold, silver and platinum.
Q4: What selectivity advantage under weak alkaline flotation condition?
A: In weak alkaline pulp, it has poor collecting ability for pyrite and magnetized pyrite, but excellent collecting performance for galena, realizing effective separation of lead mineral from pyrite gangue.
Q5: What’s its outstanding advantage for hard-to-float nickel ores?
A: It performs excellently on low-floatability nickel sulfide ore, mixed sulfide-oxide nickel ore and middlings composed of sulfide and gangue.
Q6: Do we need to add extra frother when using BA?
A: No need for large additional frother, since BA itself has frothing function, which can lower the consumption of independent frothing agent.
Q7: Packaging & storage requirements?
A: Standard package: 25kg woven bag; store in cool, dry and ventilated warehouse, avoid moisture and high temperature environment.
