Chemical application and strength

Dithiophosphate BA or Ammonium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate is a very good collector and flotation agent of nonferrous metallic minerals like copper, zinc sulfide (activated), silver, polymetallic ores, and lead.

• Its pH levels are ideal in the depressing process of iron pyrites.
• It has is a very strong collector compared to thiocarbamates and various secondary collectors.
• A good flotation agent and is quite selective within acidic environments.
• Dithiophosphate BA can be quite weak in collecting magnetizing pyrite and pyrite but is very selective
• It is a very good collector of galena and can enhance the separation of pyrite and galena.
• It can also enhance the separation process of pyrite and chalcopyrite.
• This is a very useful flotation agent of antimony sulfide minerals and nickel.
• Also a very effective flotation agent of nickel sulfide minerals.
• It is soluble in water.
• Very well known to be effective in the recovery process of precious minerals like silver, platinum, and gold.
