Application

Sodium ethylxanthate is a light yellow powder with a distinct odor, known for its solubility in water and alcohol. Its primary purpose lies in the mining industry, where it is utilized for the preferential flotation of complex non-ferrous metal sulfide ores, including those containing metals like cobalt, copper, and nickel, due to its ability to form insoluble compounds with these metal ions. Additionally, sodium ethylxanthate is used alongside vulcanizing agents for the flotation of copper and lead oxide ores.
