Brief Introduction of Various Dithiophosphates

According to the research findings, various dithiophosphates are briefly introduced by the following. 

In general, the collecting capabilities of phenol dithiophosphates are relatively weak. Comparison of various phenol dithiophosphates is discussed by the following [3]. 

The properties of methylphenol phosphates are similar to those of xylenol dithiophosphates. And they can be applied to flotate sulfide mineral. 

The flotation performance of m-cresol dithiophosphates is best. The explanation for the performance difference of three isomers had been given in Chap. 4 (Volume 1). 

These dithiophosphates are mainly comprised of decane, tertiary butyl, and hydrogenation tertiary butyl phenol dithiophosphates, as well as naphthols with two rings. They usually have a strong frothing capability, but no selectivity and collecting capability.
