Abstract

The sufrace tension measurements were carried out on dropping mercury electrode (dme) in 0.1 M sodium tetraborate
buffer solution, with potassium ethylxanthate (KEtx) and dithiophosphate (Dtp) added separately or in combination
under comparable conditions. The electrocapillary curves determined as function of potential indicating reduction in
surface tension by the addition of KEtx and Dtp. Synergistic behaviour was also studied by comparing the decrease in
surface tension of individual collectors with that of their mixtures at various mole ratios and potentials. Flotation studies
were also conducted on heazlewoodite (Ni3S2) with these collectors separately and in combination to study the synergistic
effect.
