Collectors
Molycop’s flotation collectors are engineered to operate across a vast range of alkalinity levels, providing faster flotation kinetics to deliver the best possible results.

Molycop's extensive range of collectors for sulfide ore flotation improves the recovery of valuable materials. The range is based on the thiol chemical families: Xanthates, Thionocarbamates and Dithiophosphates.
Collectors are reagents that are used to selectively adsorb onto the surfaces of particles. They form a monolayer on the particle surface that essentially makes a thin film of non-polar hydrophobic hydrocarbons.
Molycop’s range of collectors greatly increase the contact angle so that bubbles will adhere to the surface. Selection of the correct collector is critical for an effective separation by froth flotation. Collectors can be generally classed depending on their ionic charge: they can be nonionic, anionic or cationic.
