Sulfidizing
Molycop’s range of sulfide chemicals is used in froth flotation circuits to recover and separate oxide materials that don’t respond to sulfide copper collectors from gangue.

- Used for recovery of oxide minerals
- Na2S, NaSH and (NH4)2S are typically used
Product Overview
Oxide minerals generally don’t respond well to traditional methods of concentration using known sulfide copper collectors. Their recovery in a froth flotation circuit requires special treatment.The traditional method involves sulfidization, using sodium sulfide (Na2S), sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH) or ammonium sulfide ((NH4)2S), followed by flotation using Xanthate or other sulfide collectors, which are usually stage-added for both efficacy and control.
Product Typical Uses
Sulfidization in froth flotation is used to treat oxide minerals, converting them into sulfide forms to improve their flotation properties. By adding sulfidizing agents, such as sodium sulfide, the oxide surfaces become more hydrophobic, allowing better attachment to air bubbles. This enhances recovery and separation of oxide materials from gangue.Product Benefits
Molycop’s range of modifier chemicals influence the way collectors attach to mineral surfaces. Sulfide chemicals:- separate oxide materials from gangue
- enhance recovery in froth flotation circuits.
