Flotation of gold and gold-bearing ores
Dithiophosphates are probably the most widely used promoters in gold flotation (Pickett, 1978; O'Connor and Dunne, 1991). A list of the more common collectors and blends of collectors that are presently in use on gold flotation plants is tabulated in Table 1. The Cytec equivalent collector (Cytec Industries Inc., 2002) is also provided.
