Product Details
Product Features
Dithiophosphate BA (DTP BA) is the common trade name for Ammonium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate, a chemical widely used in the mining industry as a flotation agent. Its primary function is to collect non-ferrous metallic minerals during the ore extraction process.
- Major Component: Ammonium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate
- Molecular Formula:
(C4H9O)2PSS⋅NH4open paren C sub 4 H sub 9 O close paren sub 2 PSS center dot NH sub 4
(C4H9O)2PSS⋅NH4
- Appearance: White to pale grey powder, often deliquescent (absorbs moisture from the air)
- Odor: Odorless
- Solubility: Very soluble in wate
Product Applications
Dithiophosphate BA is an effective collector and frother used in the froth flotation process to recover valuable minerals.
Target Minerals: It is a strong collector for sulfide minerals of silver, copper, lead, and activated zinc.
Precious Metals Recovery: It is very effective in the recovery of precious minerals like silver, platinum, and gold.
Specific Separations: It can enhance the separation of pyrite from galena and chalcopyrite. It is particularly useful for floating nickel sulfide minerals, including those with low flotation characteristics.
pH Environment: It performs well in acidic or neutral circuits, exhibiting selectivity by weakening the collection power of iron pyrites in certain conditions.
