D486/486S – High-Efficiency Carbon Depressant for Flotation Processes

This product is designed to depress fine-grained carbonaceous minerals, such as graphite, organic carbon, and free carbon, in the flotation of base and precious metals, including copper, gold, and lead-zinc. By selectively increasing the hydrophilicity of carbon minerals, it prevents their adsorption onto target minerals, thereby reducing flotation competition. This results in improved recovery and concentrate grades, while also reducing the consumption of collectors and frothers.

Product Details

Product Name: D486
Appearance: Yellow to yellow-brown solid powder
Recommended Dosage:
The recommended concentration for the prepared solution is less than 3%. The addition point should be determined based on site-specific conditions. Typically, it is added to the stirring drum or flotation tank, but can also be introduced into the ball mill. The typical dosage range is between 50-1000 g/ton of raw ore.

Applications:
D486 is primarily used as a depressant for fine-grained carbonaceous minerals, such as graphite, organic carbon, and free carbon. It is widely applied in the flotation of base metal ores and precious metals, including copper, gold, and lead-zinc. By selectively targeting graphite, organic carbon, and free carbon, D486 enhances the hydrophilic properties of these minerals’ surfaces, preventing their adsorption onto the surface of valuable target minerals. This selective suppression reduces competition for flotation, improving the interaction between the target mineral and the collector, thereby increasing recovery rates and concentrate grades. Furthermore, the use of D486 helps reduce the consumption of collectors and frothing reagents.

Packaging:
25 kg/bag, 750 kg/ton bag

Company Profile:
Y&X Beijing Technology Co., Ltd. is a professional provider of metal mine beneficiation solutions, specializing in refractory ore processing. With years of experience in copper, molybdenum, gold, silver, lead, zinc, nickel, magnesium, scheelite, rare metals like cobalt and palladium, and non-metal mines like fluorite and phosphorus, we offer customized beneficiation solutions based on ore properties and production needs. Our solutions include advanced methods and efficient reagents to maximize customer benefits.

Focused on R&D and production of eco-friendly reagents, Y&X supports green mining practices, improving reagent efficiency and resource utilization. Our innovative flotation reagents have enabled previously unproductive mines to achieve industrialized output, transforming waste into valuable resources.

Our company’s products mainly include:
High-efficiency frother, its using effect is better than common frother such as terpineol oil, MIBC, etc;
High-efficiency collector, which can improve the metal recovery rate to a greater extent than traditional collectors;
The pioneering depressant is a powerful tool for solving complex refractory beneficiation of high talc, high carbon and high fine mud/ clay. The special copper depressant provides a better solution for beneficiation operations such as copper and molybdenum separation;
High-efficiency activators and regulators are also the cornerstone of our company to improve the beneficiation index;
Comparing with the world’s top brands, our flocculant has better cost performance and richer experience in mining applications.

Y&X Company is willing to provide you with the best one-stop beneficiation solution.
