Sodium Ethyl Xanthate Applications
Sodium Ethyl Xanthate is the most selective collector in the xanthate series.
Sodium Ethyl Xanthate is widely used for the preferential flotation of easily floatable or complex non-ferrous metal sulfide ores.
Sodium Ethyl Xanthate can also be used in combination with a sulfiding agent for the flotation of copper and lead oxide ores.
Sodium Ethyl Xanthate is used as a precipitant in hydrometallurgy (e.g., for zinc electrolyte purification) and as a rubber vulcanization accelerator.
