Collector mixtures of xanthate with dithiophosphate and dithiocarbamate at varied mole ratios investigated.
Increase in nickel recovery observed with all mixtures relative to SIBX.
DTP and its mixtures resulted in large recoveries at a low grade.
DTC and its mixtures improved nickel recovery.
Mixtures of SIBX and DTC produced concentrate grades and recoveries similar to pure DTC.
