Chemical stability of xanthates, dithiophosphinates and hydroxamic acids in aqueous solutions and their environmental implications

Currently there is a wide variety of collectors used in mineral processing, the xanthates being the most used in sulfides flotation. Unfortunately, it is known that xanthates are not stable compounds and their decomposition generates carbon disulfide (CS2), a substance that is considered toxic. Thes...
