Dithiophosphates Series
Dithiophosphate 25
Molecular Formula: (CH3C6H4O)2PSSH
Used as an effective collector with both collecting and foaming properties for the flotation of lead, copper, and silver sulfide ores, as well as activated zinc sulfide. It is commonly applied in the preferential flotation of galena during lead–zinc separation operations. Under specific conditions, it also exhibits collecting ability for certain heavy metal oxide ores. It is slightly soluble in water and can be added directly to the conditioning tank or ball mill.
