- Organic sulfur compounds are numerous and of highly varied structure. Such compounds have a variety of uses depending on their nature and properties. Typically, organic sulfur compounds are used in the manufacture of rayon and cellophane, as insecticides, as fungicides and as flotation agents in the concentration of minerals. Certain organic sulfur compounds are water soluble while others are not. The lack of water solubility in many cases interferes with extensive utilization of such organic sulfur compounds. In many applications, it is desirable to use mixtures of different types of sulfur compounds for increased efficiency. However, the incompatibility of different types of sulfur compounds and the lack of water solubility of specific sulfur compounds complicates efforts to use mixtures of different types of organic sulfur compounds. This generally necessitates separate additions of the difierent types of sulfur compounds to be employed and extensive processing to effect uniform admixture. In many instances, maximum performance of the mixture is not obtained because of the incompatibility of the different sulfur compounds.
- Alkali metal or ammonium salts of dialkyl dithiophosphates are water soluble organic sulfur compounds that have been used for many years as flotation agents in the concentration of minerals.
- N-alkyl, O-alkyl thionocarbamates are water insoluble oils that also have typical uses of organic sulfur compounds, such as flotation agents in the concentration of minerals. The dissimilar solubility characteristics of these different compound types do not suggest that these compounds could be employed as a single composition.
- a stable aqueous solution comprising from about 35 to 50 weight percent of an alkali metal or ammonium salt of a dialkyldithiophosphate and, correspondingly, from about 65 to 50 weight percent of water, said solution containing dissolved the rein sufficient of an N-alkyl, O-alkyl thionocarbamate to provide a volume ratio in the range of from about 5:95 to 95:5 of said dialkyl dithiophosphate salt solution to said thionocarbamate, respectively.
- N-alkyl, O-alkyl thionocarbamates in aqueous solutions of alkali metal or ammonium salts of dialkyldithiophosphates is highly unexpected for numerous reasons.
- the N-alkyl, O-alkyl thionocarbamates are insoluble in aqueous solutions of alkali metal alkyl xanthantes.
- the thiophosphates are insoluble in allyl amyl xanthate, a water insoluble oil similar in nature and application to the thionocarbamates.
- Toluene an organic solvent, was found to be immiscible with the aqueous dithiophosphates in proportion in which the thionocarbamates are miscible.
- the range of proportions at which the various thionocarbamates are miscible with the aqueous dithiophosphates varies with the individual compounds of both types.
- an improvement in the process of recovering copper values from a copper-bearing ore by froth flotation which comprises using as collector for said copper values an aqueous solution comprising from about 35 to 50 weight percent of an alkali metal or ammonium salt of a dialkyl dithiophosphate and, correspondingly, from about 65 to 50 weight percent of water, said solution containing dissolved therein sufficient of an N alkyl O-alkyl thionocarbamate to provide a volume ratio in the range of about 5:95 to 95:5 of said dialkyl dithiophosphate salt solution to said thionocarbamate, respectively, said collector being used at from about 0.001 to about 0.1 pounds per ton of ore.
- the alkali metal or ammonium salts of the dialkyl dithiophosphoric acids useful in the present invention have the general formula S R-O- E-O-R' wherein M is an alkali metal or ammonium ion and R and R are individually selected from alkyl groups of 2 to 8 carbon atoms having straight or branched chains.
- Typical compounds include sodium diethyldithiophosphate, sodium diisopropyldithiophosphate, sodium diisobutyldithiophosphate, sodium diisoamyldithiophosphate, 0,0-bis( l,3-dimethylbutyi)sodium phosphorodithioate and the corresponding compounds as the ammonium or potassium salts.
- the acid may be called phosphorodithionic acid, the esters identified as 0,0-esters, and the salt indicated. All of the dithiophosphates contemplated for use in the present invention are water soluble.
- the thionocarbonam ates useful in the present invention have the structure:
- R" and R are individually selected from alkyl groups of about 1 to 6 carbon atoms having straight or branched chains.
- Typical compounds include isopropyl methylthionocarbamate, isopropyl ethylthionocarbamate, isobutyl methylthionocarbamate and the like.
- the first alkyl radical named in the nomenclature is attached to the oxygen atom and the second is attached to the nitrogen atom.
- the alkylthionocarbamic acid is identified and the ester thereof is specified by the first alkyl radical named.
- the compounds are sometimes called thioncarbamates but for euphony the thionocarbamate designation is preferred. All of the thiononcarbamates contemplated for use in the invention are water insoluble oils.
- an aqueous solution of the dialkyldithiophosphate salt is prepared.
- such salt will be prepared as about a 35 to weight percent aqueous solution, depending upon the solubility limit of the particular dialkyldithiophosphate salt employed. Solubility of the thionocarbamate is predicated on the dialkyldithiophosphate salt solution being concentrated, generally at least about 25 weight percent.
- the oily, water insoluble, thionocarbamate is mixed with the concentrated aqueous dialkyldithiophosphate salt TABLE I 0.00l to about 01 pound of collector per ton of ore, preferably about 0.005 to about 0.05 pound per ton. Usage will vary depending upon the particular ore processed, the composition of the collector solution, and the processing equipment employed. Optimum usage can be readily determined by trial.
- compositions of the present invention eliminate the need for separate additions of the two ingredients when co-use thereof is desirable, thus reducing the number of processing steps normally required for couse.
- the compositions also provide the thionocarbamates in desirable form for addition, in aqueous solution form, a fonn previously not available.
- the aqueous solution form is desirable in many applications where it is compatible in the process being performed and thus eliminates the problems associated with uniformly dispersing the normal oily, water insoluble, thionocarbamates.
- the compositions of the invention provide improved performance over the separate use of either of specific ingredient alone or over the separate but simultaneous addition of both individual ingredients.
- the compositions of the present invention eliminate processing steps and handling difficulties normally associated with uses of thionocarbamates, but also may provide improved performance in certain applications while eliminating such prior problems.
- a particular application in which the solutions of the present invention show advantage is that of collector in concentrating valuable constituents from ores by flotation.
- the mixed solution of thionocarbamate and dialkyldithiophosphate provides advantages in the flotation of metallic sulfides such as those of copper, zinc, lead, platinum, nickel and molybdenum ores.
- the advantages include reduction in processing steps by use of the combined solution and may provide increased recovery of desired metal values while maintaining a high grade concentrate.
- the collector is used in an amount which will provide best recovery of metal while maintaining a high grade of metal. Generally, this amount will vary from about lowing ingredients.

- EXAMPLE 46 A copper/molybdenum ore assaying 0.4% Cu and 0.04% Mo was crushed and ground with water to flotation size. This ore pulp was then charged to a laboratory flotation machine and adjusted to pH 10.8 with lime. The ore was then conditioned for 1 minute with a collector. A mixture of methyl isobutyl carbinol and 6- and 8-carbon alcohols in a total amount of 0.06 lbs. per ton of ore was used as frothing agent. Air was introduced and froth removed at a constant skimming rate over a period of 5 minutes. The rougher concentrate obtained was analyzed for copper and molybdenum and the weight percent of concentrate recovered was determined.
- An aqueous solution comprising from about 35 to 50 weight percent of an alkali metal salt of a dialkyl dithiophosphate of the formula wherein M is an alkali metal or ammonium ion and R and R are individually selected from alkyl groups of 2 to 8 carbon atoms and correspondingly, from about 65 mate is isopropyl methylthionocarbamate.
- dialkyldithiophosphate salt is sodium diisopropyldithiophosphate.
