There was only one operating plant in the world that used Ammonium oleate as a pH regulator in treatment of a copper/zinc ore.

Most common metals are not affected by dry Ammonium oleate. However, when combined with water vapor, Ammonium oleate will attack copper, zinc, or alloys containing copper as a major alloying element. 
Therefore, these materials should not be used in contact with Ammonium oleate. 
Certain hightensile- strength steel have developed stresscorrosion cracking in Ammonium oleate service, but such cracking can be prevented by the use of 0.2 percent water by weight in the Ammonium oleate as an inhibitor.
