Product overview
Sodium Ethyl Xanthate is a relatively selective short-chain xanthate collector used in sulfide-mineral flotation. Buyers should qualify xanthate purity, free alkali, moisture, pellet integrity, dissolution behavior and storage age against ore mineralogy, pH and flotation circuit conditions.
Function & Usage
- Select Mineral Flotation Collectors
Provides mineral-surface collection for sulfide, oxide or non-sulfide flotation according to collector chemistry, ore mineralogy, pH and circuit design. Typical uses: Selective flotation of lead, zinc and copper sulfide ores, Galena recovery and differential sulfide flotation, Collector selection where lower collecting strength and higher selectivity are preferred.
Product information
- Applications:
- Selective flotation of lead, zinc and copper sulfide ores, Galena recovery and differential sulfide flotation, Collector selection where lower collecting strength and higher selectivity are preferred
- Hazard / Transport:
- Flammable or self-heating flotation reagent that may be harmful if swallowed or inhaled and can cause serious eye or skin effects. Contact with acids, heat or moisture can accelerate decomposition and release toxic, highly flammable carbon disulfide. Commercial xanthates are commonly evaluated for UN 3342, Class 4.2 transport; confirm the exact grade-specific SDS, packing group and destination rules before shipment.
- Storage:
- Store in tightly closed, moisture-resistant original packaging in a cool, dry, shaded and well-ventilated dangerous-goods area. Keep away from acids, oxidizers, water, heat, sparks, flames and direct sunlight; control inventory age because xanthates decompose during prolonged or warm storage.
