Introduction | sodium ethyl xanthate (SEX) is an organic sulfur compound with the chemical formula CH3CH2OCS2Na. It is a pale yellow powder, usually in the form of a dihydrate. Sodium ethyl xanthate is used as a flotation agent in the mining industry. The corresponding potassium salt having the same anion as sodium ethyl xanthate: potassium ethyl xanthate (KEX), is usually prepared in the form of an anhydrous salt. |
Use | as a collector for non-ferrous metal ore flotation |
