Amino-dithiophosphate, also known as thiophosphoric acid containing nitrogen, with a purity of ≥ 90%, is a chemical compound primarily utilized as a flotation collector in mineral processing.
- Composition: Amino-dithiophosphate is a compound containing both amino and dithiophosphate functional groups. These compounds usually contain a thiophosphoric acid backbone with nitrogen-containing groups, hence the designation “thiophosphoric acid containing nitrogen”. The purity of ≥ 90% indicates that the compound is composed of at least 90% of the active ingredient, with the rest comprising other compounds or impurities.
- Function: Amino-dithiophosphate acts as a collector in mineral flotation processes. As a collector, it selectively attaches to the surface of desired minerals, making them hydrophobic and aiding in their flotation. This helps in the separation of valuable minerals from gangue minerals in the flotation cell.
- Application: Amino-dithiophosphate is commonly used in the flotation of sulfide minerals, such as those containing copper, lead, zinc, and nickel. It plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency and selectivity of the flotation process by promoting the flotation of desired minerals while minimizing the flotation of unwanted minerals.
- Characteristics: Amino-dithiophosphate exhibits excellent flotation properties due to its ability to form stable complexes with metal ions on mineral surfaces. Its effectiveness in mineral flotation is influenced by factors such as pH, pulp density, and the presence of other chemicals in the flotation process.
- Usage: Amino-dithiophosphate is typically added to the flotation circuit in the appropriate dosage to achieve the desired flotation effect. The dosage may vary depending on factors such as ore type, particle size, and the specific requirements of the flotation process.
