D481 – Depressant for Carbon-Containing Ores

Product Details

Rare Metal Ores Depressant D481
Rare Metal Ores Depressant D481

D481, developed by Y&X Beijing Technology Co., Ltd., is a high-efficiency flotation depressant specifically designed to suppress fine graphite, cryptocrystalline carbon, and other carbon-containing gangue minerals in non-ferrous metal ores. It enhances concentrate grade and recovery by reducing carbon interference in flotation circuits.

Key Features

  • Suppresses Carbon and Graphite Gangue
    Effectively prevents carbon-containing materials from entering the concentrate, ensuring a cleaner separation and better flotation selectivity.

  • Improves Recovery and Concentrate Grade
    Reduces collector loss and enhances the efficiency of flotation reagents by eliminating carbon competition.

  • Ideal for Non-Ferrous Ores
    Suitable for copper, lead-zinc, and gold ores containing fine or microcrystalline graphite.

  • Simple to Use
    Easily prepared as a 2% solution and added directly to the flotation process.

Product Specifications
