The Action of Potassium n-Amyl Xanthate on Chalcocite.

Abstract: In the flotation concentration of ores, water-soluble substances such as xanthates, generally termed collecting agents, are used to prepare the surface of the minerals to be floated so that attachment will take place between air bubbles and the mineral particles. Very small quantities of xanthates (of the order of 0.05 lb. per ton of ore) are found entirely adequate to impart to the mineral particles a surface at which air will displace water to such an extent that efficient flotation is possible. At the prese… Show more

“…Wark and Cox (1934) have shown that maximum contact angle was determined by the length of the alkyl chain and was independent of the nature of the substrate. Gaudin and Schuhmann (1936) established that chalcocite abstracts amounts of xanthate equivalent to Figure 8.2. Autoradiography of adsorbed surfactants: (a) xanthate (white spots) on the face of a sphalerite particle, 500 x, , from , An Introduction to the Theory of Flotation, Trans.…”

“…1990). Molecular area of the adsorbate is determined using the interatOlnic distances available in literature and the geometry of the molecule (W clls, 1986) as the basis of the figures for the radii of Sand 0 and asswning a spherical shape tlle area of xanthate group is estimated to be 0.25 nm 2 (Gaudin et al .. 1936) and that of dixanthogen 0.493 mn 2 (Rao and Finch, 1991). A dithiophosphate with two hydrocarbon chains is estimated to occupy an area of0.41mn 2 and carboxylic acids 0.205 mn 2 per moleule (Gaudin, 1957, p. 272;Lovell et al, 1974).…”

“…The major lead flotation for lead-copper concentrate is done at a pH of 9.5-10 and an average concentration of the butyl xanthate of 25 mg/liter = 1.68"10 -4 m. With the interaction of galena and secondary sulfides of copper and a solution of xanthate, xanthates of the metals are formed at their surfaces, which also define the flotation activity of chalcocite, bornite [6,7], and galena [7].…”
