FOERFARANDE FOER FLOTATION AV SULFIDMINERALER MED ETT TIOORGANISKT SAMLARREAGENS

摘要

Process using collectors for the flotation of minerals which allow the separation or enrichment of certain minerals, even at pH values around 7. These collectors are organic sulphides of the type R-S-R', in which the two groups R and R' are different and at least one of them preferably carries a substituent including oxygen or sulphur. The collectors are desirably used in a proportion of 10-100 ppm in relation to the weight of the mineral subject to flotation.
