Abstract
The capacity of novel selective dithiocarbamate collectors, namely, morpholine dithiocarbamate (MDTC) and S-cyanoethyl N, N-diethyldithiocarbamate (CEDETC) to form complex compounds with gold on the surface of sulphide minerals containing fine gold under conditions of flotation is experimentally proved. MDTC adsorption at the surface of chalcopyrite without gold takes places due to formation of morpholine dithiocarbamate copper. At chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite containing gold fines, MDTC-Au and CEDETC-Au compounds are formed. MDTC and CEDETC improve floatability of gold-bearing sulphides as against gold-free minerals, which is beneficial for the production of Au–Cu concentrates with lower content of As and Fe by flotation.
