Dithiophosphates (DTP)

Description

Used to separate valuable minerals from gangue during flotation.

• Collectors:

Dithiophosphates (DTP) are a group of organophosphorus compounds commonly used as flotation collectors in mineral processing, particularly for sulfide ores. They contain phosphorus bonded to sulfur atoms, giving them strong metal-binding properties. DTPs are valued for their selectivity, stability, and effectiveness under varying pH conditions, making them important reagents in the mining industry.
