Dithiophosphate 3478 is a high-strength, selective flotation collector for gold, silver, copper, and lead ores, providing exceptional performance in refractory and complex sulfide flotation.
Dithiophosphate 3478 is a high-strength and highly selective dithiophosphate flotation collector designed for gold, silver, copper, lead, and complex polymetallic sulfide ores.
Known for its powerful collecting ability, excellent selectivity, and strong performance in refractory or partially oxidized ore bodies, Dithiophosphate 3478 is widely used by concentrators seeking both high recovery and improved concentrate grade.
Compared with Dithiophosphate 25, 35, and even 3477, Dithiophosphate 3478 provides enhanced adsorption strength and superior metallurgical efficiency in challenging flotation circuits. It is especially effective in precious-metal flotation where fine or locked particles require aggressive but selective collection.
Engineered for modern flotation operations, Dithiophosphate 3478 delivers:
• Very strong collecting power for gold, silver, copper, and lead sulfides
• Outstanding selectivity against pyrite, pyrrhotite, and gangue minerals
• Superior performance in refractory, oxidized, or fine-grained ores
• High recovery in complex Cu/Pb/Zn separation circuits
• Cleaner concentrates with reduced impurity levels
• Stable activity across a wide pH and pulp chemistry range
• Effective booster action when combined with xanthates
Dithiophosphate 3478 is especially effective in:
• gold–silver flotation with refractory or fine sulfide association
• copper–lead and copper–zinc differential flotation
• polymetallic and complex sulfide ore bodies
• flotation plants requiring stronger collectors than Dithiophosphate 35 or 3477
• operations where xanthates provide insufficient selectivity or recovery
