Product Specifications

Product Advantages

Sodium dibutyl dithiophosphate is a highly efficient and stable collector specifically designed for the flotation of gold ores and sulfide ores such as silver, copper, and zinc. As one of the widely recognized High-efficiency collectors, it demonstrates strong applicability in both simple and complex mineral systems and is frequently used in modern Mineral processing reagents formulations.

It reacts rapidly with the surface of the target mineral, helping it adhere firmly to bubbles and effectively separate from gangue and other impurities, thus significantly improving mineral enrichment efficiency. In complex ore systems, Sodium dibutyl dithiophosphate exhibits good selectivity—its collecting power for pyrite is weak in alkaline circuits, reducing interference and allowing for more precise collection of target minerals, further improving concentrate grade.

Unlike other strongly frother-active reagents, Sodium dibutyl dithiophosphate itself has weak frother properties. In actual production, it primarily functions as a collector and does not generate excessive foam that could affect flotation stability. It can also be flexibly combined with specialized frothers to make the flotation process more controllable and efficient.

Furthermore, under specific flotation conditions, Sodium dibutyl dithiophosphate offers certain collecting effects on some heavy metal oxide ores, broadening its application range and making it suitable for more diverse ore-processing projects. Its versatility further strengthens its position as an essential component in Mineral processing reagents used across various concentrator operations.

Product Application

Flotation of Metallic Sulfide Ores (Copper/Lead/Zinc):
Sodium dibutyl dithiophosphate is highly suitable for the flotation of various metallic sulfide ores, exhibiting excellent selectivity even under complex ore conditions. It significantly improves flotation efficiency and the final recovery rate of target metals. As one of the commonly used High-efficiency collectors in copper, lead, and zinc beneficiation processes, it plays an important role in stabilizing and enhancing overall separation performance.

Flotation of Associated Gold and Silver Ores:
This product shows excellent collecting ability for sulfide ores containing associated gold and silver. As an essential component among modern Mineral processing reagents, Sodium dibutyl dithiophosphate effectively increases the recovery rate of precious metals in complex mineral systems, making it a key additive for optimizing beneficiation indicators in gold–silver associated ore processing.

Flotation of Difficult-to-Float Minerals such as Nickel and Molybdenum:
For certain difficult-to-float and fine-grained minerals such as nickel and molybdenum, Sodium dibutyl dithiophosphate provides stable and sustained collecting ability. It is often used as an auxiliary or synergistic collector to enhance overall flotation efficiency, reinforcing its value among advanced High-efficiency collectors.

Complex Polymetallic Ore Beneficiation:
With strong adaptability and selectivity in complex ore systems containing multiple metallic elements, this product improves the flotation process, enhances concentrate quality, and helps reduce reagent consumption. As a versatile Mineral processing reagent, Sodium dibutyl dithiophosphate effectively supports cost control while maintaining high beneficiation performance.

Product Packaging & Storage
