Dithiophosphate De Diethyle Sodique 

Sodium diethyl dithiophosphate is a chemical compound used as a reagent in flotation applications in the mining industry. It is part of a class of compounds called dithiophosphates, which are widely used as mineral collectors in flotation processes. 

  • Chemical Formula: Sodium diethyl dithiophosphate is generally represented by the chemical formula (C2H5O)2PSSNa. This formula shows the presence of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), sulfur (S), oxygen (O), and sodium (Na) atoms.
  • Use: This compound is primarily used as a collector in flotation processes in the mining industry. Flotation is a method used to separate minerals from ores by attaching air bubbles to mineral particles, thereby causing them to float.
  • Flotation Properties: Sodium diethyl dithiophosphate has the ability to form bonds with mineral particles, thereby improving their buoyancy during the flotation process. This allows for the efficient separation of valuable minerals from unwanted minerals.
  • Handling: Like any chemical product, sodium diethyl dithiophosphate should be handled in accordance with good safety practices. This includes using personal protective equipment, handling in a well-ventilated environment, and following safety procedures.
  • Storage: Storage of sodium diethyl dithiophosphate should be carried out in accordance with safety recommendations. It must be stored under appropriate conditions to avoid any adverse reactions or product degradation.
  • Physical Appearance: At room temperature, sodium diethyl dithiophosphate is generally in liquid form.
  • Specific Applications: Due to its specific properties as a flotation reagent, sodium diethyl dithiophosphate is mainly used in the mining industry for ore processing.
