spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/12345 The effect of mixing thiol collectors in the flotation of pure sulphide ores Castelyn, Daniel Gregory McFadzean, Belinda O'Connor, Cyril Chemical Engineering Includes bibliographical references. Using mixtures of xanthate with either dithiophosphate (DTP) or dithiocarbamate (DTC) has been reported to increase the flotation performance of several sulphide flotation operations. The increased flotation performance has often been termed synergistic. Synergism is defined as the effect exceeding the pro rata contribution of either constituent in the mixture. This thesis aims to investigate the effects that mixtures of either xanthate and di-alkyl DTP or xanthate and di-alkyl DTC have on the pulp phase floatability of pure galena and pyrite by means of microflotation. Both minerals were chosen because they have been widely studied in sulphide flotation, and to determine whether flotation results with mixtures were mineral specific. 2015-02-03T18:31:05Z 2015-02-03T18:31:05Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12345 eng application/pdf Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town
