This invention relates to the concentration of ores and has for an object the provision of an improved process for concentrating oxidized ores.
The present invention is based on my discovery that substances belonging to the class of compounds known as dithiocarbamates may be employed effectively in the concentration of oxidized ores by froth flotation. Dithiocarbamates and their salts such, for example, as their alkali metal salts may be employed in carrying out the process of the invention.
Dithiocarbamates for use in carrying out the process of the invention may be prepared in any suitable manner.
ient procedure for preparing such compounds consists in adding an alkali metal sulphide to a mixture of carbon bisulphide and an amine.
Thus, for example, sodium a-naphthyl-dithiocarbamate may be prepared by adding sodium sulphide to a mixture of a-naphthylamine and carbon bisulphide.
In order to obtain the reaction product in solid form, it is usually desirable to treat the reaction mixture with ether or with some other solvent in which the dithiocarbamate is but slightly soluble. It is not necessary for the purposes of the present invention to isolate the dithiocarbamate from the reaction mixture Thus, in the practice of the present invention, the dithiocarbamates may be used as crude reaction products without being isolated from the reaction mixture.
The alkali and alkylammonium salts of substituted dithiocarbamic acids are in general readily soluble in water and alcohol. The heavy metal salts (such as lead, zinc, iron, etc. salts) may be obtained as precipitates by treating the dissolved dithiocarbamates (such as the alkali and alkylammonium dithiocarbamates) with a dissolved salt of the heavy metal. Thus, for example, lead phenyl dithiocarbamate is produced by mixing solutions of lead acetate and potassium phenyl dithiocarbamate. In general, the heavy metal dithiocarbamates are only sparingly soluble even in hot water.
The process of the invention is particularly suitable for the concentration of ores containing silicate and carbonate minerals. In general, the amount of reagent required is from about 0.5 to about 2.0 pounds per ton of dry ore. In treating most ores, a frothing agent such, for example, as
pine oil is required.
The reagents may be incorporated in the flotationpulp at any suitable stage of the flotation operation, or they may be added prior to the final wet grinding operation. Relatively pure com- In general, the most conven-' pounds or products of reactions designed to produce such compounds may be added to the pulp directly or in solution in suitable solvents. Thus, for example, water soluble compounds such as sodium a-naphthyl-dithiocarbamate may be employed in the form of concentrated aqueous solutions.
As a general rule, it is advisable'to add the reagent in successive portions at intervals of several minutes until the required amount has been added. The use of a filming agent such as sodium sulphide is sometimes desirable, and it is preferably added in successive portions at or immediately preceding the times at which the thiocarbamate additions are made. In carrying out the process of the invention, neutral and alkaline pulps may be employed. In general, the use of a slime-conditioning agent such as lime or sodium silicate is advantageous. Such agents may be added, conveniently, prior to the final wet grinding of the ore.
The following examples give typical results obtained in the treatment of ores containing copper and lead silicate and carbonate minerals:
Example I A 500 gram sample of Mason Valley copper ore containing practically all of its copper in the form of malachite and chrysocolla was ground with water to produce a pulp in which 89.4 percent of the particles were minus 200 mesh.
