Experimental results demonstrate that the first step in the reaction is electrochemical adsorption of xanthate ion, and then the adsorbed ion associates with a xanthate ion from the solution and forms a dixanthogen on the pyrite electrode surface. The diffusion coefficient of butyl xanthate on pyrite electrode surface can be determined to be about 1.09×10?6 cm2/s. Using the galvanostatic technique, the kinetic parameters of oxidation of the butyl xanthate ion on the pyrite surface are calculated as Ja=200 μA/cm2, β= 0.203 and J0=27.1 μA/cm2 Key words: electrochemical reaction; pyrrhotite; xanthate 1 Introduction In the past decade, much progress has been made in understanding the reactions of sulfide mineral surfaces with xanthate reagents. It is widely recognized that the reactions in a flotation system involve electron transfer. Many electrochemical techniques have been employed to study the reaction mechanism of sulfide minerals (such as pyrite, galena and chalcopyrite) with xanthate reagents[1]. As well known, flotation of pyrite is an electrochemical process, and adsorption of collectors on the surface of mineral results from the electron transfer between mineral surface and oxidation-reduction composition in pulp. These investigations indicate that the oxidation of both the mineral and the collector plays an important role in the flotation process. It is generally believed that the reactions produce the hydrophobic particle surfaces required in flotation, and the dominant hydrophobic reactions are electr
