Decyl Mercaptan Mixed compositions and Use thereof as chemical Mining Collector

摘要

The present Invention relates to a process for the Recovery of a metal from an ore Collector using a composition.The process involves contacting the composition with the mineral Collector.The composition may include collecting sulfur-containing compounds that comprise (i) Mercaptan Mercaptans comprising compounds of selected from the group consisting of branched C105 - methyl - 1 - mercapto - Nonan 3 -, propyl - 1 - mercapto - heptane Ethyl - 4 - 1 - 2 - mercapto - Octane, butyl - mercapto - hexane - 1, 4 - methyl - 2 - mercapto - Nonan 3 -, propyl - 2 - mercapto - heptane Ethyl 4 - - 2 - mercaptooctano,5 - methyl - 5 - mercapto nonane, and combinations thereof; and (ii) sulfides containing sulfides of C20 branched Structure represented by R1 - SR2,Where R1 and R2 are each independently a functional Group derived from an olefin, olefin which comprises 5 - methyl - 1 - noneno - propyl - 1, 3 - ethyl - 4 - hepteno, 1-octene, 2-butyl - 1 - HEXENE,Or combinations thereof.
