Sulfide Ore Flotation Applications
YuXing ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate, also known as Dithiophosphate BA, is a water-soluble dithiophosphate collector supplied as white to off-white powder with active ingredient ≥49%. It is used for copper, lead-zinc and silver sulfide ore flotation where selectivity and stable recovery are required.
Compared with strong xanthate collectors, this powder collector is commonly evaluated when the flotation circuit needs more controlled sulfide separation rather than maximum collecting strength. For related collector selection, compare with Aerofloat 25 equivalent (Dithiophosphate 25), Sodium Butyl Xanthate (SBX) or the full mining chemicals catalog.
How Ammonium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate Works in Flotation
In sulfide ore flotation, ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate adsorbs on target mineral surfaces and improves hydrophobicity, helping valuable sulfide minerals attach to air bubbles and report to the concentrate. Its selectivity can help control unwanted gangue recovery in copper, lead-zinc and silver-bearing circuits.
The reagent is normally dissolved in water before dosing. Practical dosage depends on ore mineralogy, grind size, pH, pulp chemistry, flotation stage and target recovery, so plant trials or metallurgical test work should be used before full-scale dosing.
Dithiophosphate BA vs Aerofloat 25 vs Xanthates
| Collector Type | Typical Form | Selection Note |
|---|---|---|
| Ammonium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate / Dithiophosphate BA | Powder | Selective dithiophosphate collector for copper, lead-zinc and silver sulfide ores. |
| Aerofloat 25 Equivalent | Liquid | Dithiophosphate 25 type collector; often evaluated when liquid handling and circuit response are preferred. |
| SBX, SIPX, PAX | Pellets or powder | Xanthate collectors with different collecting strength; selection depends on ore type and recovery target. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate used for in mining?
It is a dithiophosphate collector for sulfide minerals in copper, lead-zinc and silver ore beneficiation. Its selectivity helps target valuable sulfides while limiting unwanted gangue recovery.
Is ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate the same as Dithiophosphate BA?
Yes. In mining reagent procurement, ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate is commonly referred to as Dithiophosphate BA. Confirm the CAS number, active ingredient and specification before purchase.
What is the difference between ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate and Aerofloat 25?
Ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate is an ammonium-based powder collector. Aerofloat 25 equivalent is a liquid dithiophosphate collector. Selection depends on ore mineralogy, dosing system and flotation circuit requirements.
What active ingredient content is required?
Industrial applications typically require active ingredient content of ≥49% with pH 10–13 and complete water solubility. YuXing can provide CoA verification for supplied batches.
Can YuXing provide TDS, MSDS and CoA?
Yes. YuXing can provide TDS, MSDS and batch CoA to support technical review, procurement approval and customs clearance.
