Abstract
Sulfhydryl collectors have received wide applications in sulphide value mineral flotation. Blends of this group of collector shave shown the existence of synergism in collecting action when utilized in flotation. In this study, sodium isobutyl xanthate and sodium alkyl dithiophosphates at different mixing ratios are employed in flotation. Results for single mineral flotation show that better flotation response was achieved for collector admixtures compared with singular uses. The highest recovery of 87.78% and 67.74% respectively for pyrite and arsenopyrite was achieved with a blend ratio of 20:80 SIBX to DTP.
