Organofluorine Collector

It was reported that organofluorine compounds could also be used as flotation collector [23]. The synthetical organofluorine collectors are given as follows  

Meanwhile, potassium ethyl xanthate and potassium butyl xanthate that contain organofluorine are also used as collector. The flotation performances of organofluorine collectors are as same as those of fatty acids, amines, and xanthates in the flotation of hematite and pyrite. Because of their unstable characteristics, these organofluorine collectors are rarely used in flotation industry.
