Product description:

Sodium Diisobutyl Dithiophosphate (SDIBDP) is a water-soluble dialkyl dithiophosphate collector designed for selective mineral flotation. It offers fast collecting action, low frothing tendency, and good selectivity for copper, zinc, nickel, and precious-metal-bearing ores.

Compared with conventional xanthate collectors, SDIBDP can provide cleaner mineral separation and stable performance across a broad range of flotation conditions. As an experienced Mining Chemical Supplier, ZXCHEM supplies SDIBDP for mineral processing operations requiring reliable recovery and concentrate quality.

Product Applications:

  • Copper & Zinc Sulfide Flotation

Used as a selective collector for copper and zinc sulfide minerals, particularly where separation from iron sulfides is required.

  • Nickel & Polymetallic Ores

Suitable for nickel, antimony, chalcocite, and complex polymetallic flotation circuits requiring balanced recovery and selectivity.

  • Precious Metal Recovery

Applied in flotation systems containing gold, silver, and other valuable metal-bearing minerals, including complex sulfide ore systems.

  • Mixed Ore Flotation

Suitable for copper sulfide–oxide blends and can also be used together with xanthate collectors to optimize recovery and concentrate grade.

Why Choose Our Sodium Diisobutyl Dithiophosphate?

High Selectivity

Designed for selective collection of copper, zinc, nickel, and precious-metal-bearing minerals with reduced interference from iron sulfides.

Low Frothing Performance

Produces relatively low foam compared with conventional xanthate collectors, helping support cleaner flotation control.

Flexible Flotation Use

Suitable for complex sulfide and mixed ore systems and can be used alone or together with other collectors.

Reliable Flotation Reagent Manufacturer

ZXCHEM supports industrial mineral processing customers with consistent specifications, TDS, SDS, COA, and batch documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

SDIBDP is commonly evaluated for copper, zinc, nickel, precious-metal-bearing, and complex sulfide ore flotation. Its suitability depends on ore mineralogy and the overall reagent scheme.
SDIBDP generally provides higher selectivity and lower frothing in suitable flotation systems. It can also be used together with xanthates when a combined collector system is required.
SDIBDP may be added directly or prepared as an aqueous solution, depending on the dosing system. The appropriate dosage and addition point should be determined through laboratory or plant flotation testing.
Please provide your required quantity, destination, preferred packaging, ore type, and expected delivery schedule. Information about your current flotation reagent system can also help with product evaluation.
