Ammonium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Ammonium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate is a high-efficiency Collector Grade mining reagent used extensively in the froth flotation process. It is specifically formulated to act as a selective collector for precious and base metal sulfide minerals, enhancing recovery rates in complex circuits.
This reagent is typically available as a 95% active powder or an aqueous solution, offering excellent solubility and rapid dispersion in flotation cells. Its chemical structure provides superior selectivity for copper, lead, and zinc sulfides, while minimizing the collection of undesired iron-bearing gangue.
The product is valued for its stable performance across various pH levels, making it a versatile choice for multi-stage mineral processing. It is often combined with xanthates or other collectors to optimize the hydrophobicity of mineral surfaces and maximize the grade of the final concentrate.
APPLICATIONS
- Sulfide Flotation: Acts as a primary or secondary collector for copper, lead, and silver-bearing sulfide ores.
- Precious Metal Recovery: Enhances the flotation of gold and silver associated with metallic sulfide minerals.
- Polymetallic Separation: Improves the selective separation of copper from pyrite and other iron sulfides in complex ore bodies.
SAFETY & RISKS
Classified as Corrosive and Harmful if Swallowed. Can cause severe skin burns and eye damage. Mandatory PPE includes chemical safety goggles, face shields, and acid-resistant gloves when handling concentrated forms.
PACKAGING
Standard industrial supply in 120 kg Plastic Drums, 200 kg Steel Drums, or 1000 kg IBC Tanks.
