(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
(1) Dithiophosphate Ammonium Black is an excellent collector and frother for metallic ores. It has a special separation effect on copper, lead, silver, and activated zinc sulfide ores as well as difficult-to-select multi-metal ores. Its collecting performance for pyrite and magnetic pyrite is weak in weakly alkaline pulp, but it has a stronger collecting ability for pyromorphite.
(2) It can also be used for the flotation of nickel and antimony sulfide ores, especially for difficult-to-select sulfide nickel ores, sulfide nickel-oxide mixed ores, and sulfide ores with gangue. According to research, using Dithiophosphate Ammonium Black is also beneficial for the recovery of platinum, gold, and silver. Dithiophosphate Ammonium Black appears as white to grayish-white, sometimes with a slightly pinkish fine particle to powder-like appearance with good weight performance and stability, and good selectivity. When this product is used instead of yellowing agent for gold flotation, the gold recovery rate and concentrate grade increase significantly.
