Abstract: The interface electrochemical characterization of jamesonite in 0.1mol·L-1 KNO3 media (pH=6.9) with and without diethyl dithiocarbamate(DDTC) was studied by potentiodynamic and impedance measurements. With increasing Et2NCSSNa concentration, its corrosive potential moves negatively and its corrosive current decreases, so its cathodic reaction is inhibited and anodic reaction is promoted. The electrochemical resistance with Et2NCSSNa in solution is as four times as the electrochemical resistance without Et2NCSSNa, at the same time, double capacitance decreases. The electrochemical resistance slows down and its capacitance rises with Et2NCSSNa concentration raised. Et2NCSSNa is adsorbed chemically, and the salts of its metal ions are deposited, and passive action appears on jamesonite surface, so its oxidization reaction is limited. Jamesonite can be floated without collector because of obvious passive film of sulfur on the surface of jamesonite and its potential range of flotation is between 0.173 and 0.373V. In the case of Et2NCSSNa, jamesonite can be floated due to chemical adsorption and salt deposition of Et2NCSS-metal ions mainly, also deposition of sulfur on its surface and its potential range of flotation is between 0.100 and 0.473V.

Abstract:
The interface electrochemical characterization of jamesonite in (0.1)mol·L-1 KNO3 media (pH=6.9) with and without diethyl dithiocarbamate(DDTC) was studied by potentiodynamic and impedance measurements. With increasing Et2NCSSNa concentration, its corrosive potential moves negatively and its corrosive current decreases, so its cathodic reaction is inhibited and anodic reaction is promoted. The electrochemical resistance with Et2NCSSNa in solution is as four times as the electrochemical resistance without Et2NCSSNa, at thesame time, double capacitance decreases. The electrochemical resistance slows down and its capacitance rises with Et2NCSSNa concentration raised. Et2NCSSNa is adsorbed chemically, and the salts of its metal ions are deposited, and passive action appears on jamesonite surface, so its oxidization reaction is limited. Jamesonite can be floated without collector because of obvious passive film of sulfur on the surface of jamesonite and its potential range of flotation is between 0.173 and (0.373V.) In the case of Et2NCSSNa, jamesonite can be floated due to chemical adsorption and salt deposition of Et2NCSS-metal ions mainly, also deposition of sulfur on its surface and its potential range of flotation is between (0.100) and (0.473V.)
