Isopropyl Ethyl Thionocarbamate / O – Isopropyl – N – Ethyl Thionocarbamate

Chemical appearance T – 610 has pinkish orange colour and comes in plaster of powder form. It is chemically stable and has no strong odour. It is sparingly dissolvable in water but very soluble within alkali solutions. Chemical application and strength T – 601 is a great collector which has excellent selectivity characteristics in the right conditions compared to that of SHA or SalicylHydroxamic Acid. It has the ability to form chemically stable chelate with copper, tin, iron, various rare earth minerals, copper, tungsten, and many more. But with alkali and earth metals, the T – 601 forms unstable chelate. Very soluble in water. Exhibits great selectivity characteristics in the flotation of select metal ores, particularly tin. It is always used along with P86 in the flotation process of tin.

Chemical appearance BLK – 301 has a type of dark brown or amber colour and comes in a liquid form with an oily consistency. It is dissolvable in water and has a density of 1.080 – 1.120 g/m3 and a pH level of 10 – 13. Chemical application and strength BLK – 301 is another great collector in the flotation process of silver, copper, zinc, gold, and molybdenum sulfide. Very soluble in water. It has weak power in the collection of pyrites but is has an excellent selectivity to silver, copper, and gold ores. Only small dosage is used in the flotation process but the BK – 301 still exhibits excellent collection power and great selectivity. It has some frothing characteristics It should be placed in an environment away from exposure to water and extreme heat from fire and sunlight. It should always be placed upright and never upside down

Chemical appearance Ethyl Thiocarbamate or Sodium Diethyl Dithiocarbamate has a whitish to pale grey colour and comes in a crystal form. These crystals are easily soluble in water and produce no strong odour. Chemical application and strength Ethyl Thiocarbamate or Sodium Diethyl Dithiocarbamateis another strong type of collector which has characteristics of having strong collection and flotation ability. Compared to other dithiophosphages and xanthates, only a small dosage of it is required to become effective. Soluble not only in water and easily decomposes into carbon disulphide. Has weak collective power with regards to pyrites, but is very selective in the flotation process of various sulfide ores. When compared to dithiophosphates and xanthates, it is found to be more effective in the flotation process of zinc, lead, various polymetallic sulfide, and copper.

Chemical appearance: The appearance of Sodium metabisulfite is either in the form of white crystals or as a powdered solid with a slight odor of sulfur. Inhalation could lead to toxic results and can cause serious damages to skin and tissue. Sodium metabisulfite is clearly soluble in water and forms a clear and colorless solution. Chemical application and strengths: The primary applications of Sodium metabisulfite are evident in the mining industry. It is used for controlling the depression of pyrites and sphalerite minerals. MBS is ideal for pH control for the froth flotation process, where it could control pyrite depression. Sodium Metabisulfite is also helpful in preventing flotation of sphalerite through copper activation with the availability of Tennantite/Covellite in the ore. In the case of pyrite flotation, the maximum iron/pyrite depression with the use of Sodium Metabisulfite is possible somewhere around the pH of 6.
