A collector for various metal sulfide ores, it exhibits strong collecting power and moderate selectivity. It is particularly suitable for the flotation of copper ores, pyrite, and similar minerals.

The collector used in the flotation of sulfide ores is highly effective in collecting minerals but exhibits poor selectivity. It serves as an excellent collector for the flotation of copper-nickel sulfide ores and gold-bearing pyrite.

Butyl sodium xanthate is a collector suitable for the flotation of sulfide ores. It features strong selectivity and stable collecting performance, making it applicable to the flotation of minerals such as chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and pyrite. Additionally, it can also be used as a precipitant in hydrometallurgical processes and as a rubber vulcanization accelerator.

Ethyl sodium xanthate, used as a collector in the flotation of sulfide ores, is a member of the xanthate series. It exhibits moderate collecting power and strong selectivity. When used in combination with a sulfidizing agent, it can be applied to the flotation of copper and lead oxide ores. Additionally, it can be employed for the purification of zinc electrolytes and also serves as a rubber vulcanization accelerator.

Sodium N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate, also known as sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate, is used as a terminating agent for emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber and styrene-butadiene latex, an industrial fungicide, a metal precipitant, a vulcanization accelerator for rubber products, and an agricultural insecticide. It serves as an intermediate in the production of fungicides such as thiram, ferbam, ammonium dithiocarbamate, zinc dithiocarbamate, and nickel dithiocarbamate.

The flotation reagents 920A and 920B exhibit broad-spectrum mineral separation selectivity and are suitable for a wide range of non-ferrous metals, including gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, zinc, antimony, tungsten, uranium, molybdenum, potassium, indium, phosphorus, as well as coal and graphite. In the flotation of lead-zinc ores, these reagents require low dosages, demonstrate excellent foaming performance, enable rapid flotation of sulfide minerals, and minimize the entrainment of tin in sulfide minerals. During the separation of sulfide minerals, they can yield high-quality lead-antimony concentrates and indium-zinc concentrates, thereby improving both the grade and recovery rate of the concentrates.

The product is primarily used as a precipitant for non-ferrous metal ions.

An ideal selective collector for the flotation of copper, lead, zinc, antimony, and other metal sulfides—characterized by rapid flotation kinetics and requiring lower dosages than xanthates and black medicines. It outperforms xanthates and black medicines in the flotation of polymetallic sulfide ores and can also be used for metal smelting and refining. Under high-alkalinity conditions, it enhances the separation efficiency between lead and zinc while minimizing or eliminating the need for cyanide. In the rubber industry, it serves as a promoter.

An effective collector for gold ores as well as sulfide ores of silver, copper, and zinc; exhibits very weak collecting power toward pyrite and has very low foaming properties.

An effective collector for iron-bearing copper, silver, and lead sulfide ores as well as activated zinc sulfide ores, it is commonly used in preferential flotation for the separation of lead and zinc. It exhibits both collecting and frothing properties. It shows particular effectiveness on oxidized heavy-metal ores. In neutral and acidic media, it serves as a powerful, non-selective collector for all sulfide ores.

The effective collectors for silver, copper, lead, and activated zinc sulfide ores can also be used in the flotation of activated iron sulfide ores, nickel sulfide ores, and antimony sulfide ores. They exhibit exceptional separation performance for refractory polymetallic ores such as copper sulfide, lead sulfide, and nickel sulfide ores, and have very weak foaming properties.

Its molecular formula is C7H8O, with a molecular weight of 108.14. It is a mixture of three isomers: ortho-cresol, meta-cresol, and para-cresol. Trimethylphenol is a colorless or yellow-brown liquid with a phenolic odor. It is slightly soluble in water but miscible with ethanol, diethyl ether, benzene, chloroform, ethylene glycol, glycerol, and other solvents. It is primarily used in organic synthesis as a raw material for the production of surfactants, lubricating oils, additives for synthetic materials, dye intermediates, disinfectants, plasticizers, pesticides, and flotation reagents for mineral processing.
