Sodium Ethyl Xanthate (SEX) 90%

Chemical appearance:
sodium ethyl xanthate or SEx is typicaly a yelowish powder or pelet that is soluble in water. tis a xanthate based on the c2 alkl ethyl alcoholin the sodium sal
form.
chemical application and strengths:
Sodium ethyl xanthate or sEx is used in mining as a fotation agent it is used as a colector and xanthate used especially in copper mines.
It can be used for fotation ofvarious minerals that are activated or hydrophobic and foat easly such as lead, cobalt zinc and nickel.lt can form insoluble
compounds with these metallic ions.
sodlum ethy xanthate is especlaly important in in foth fotation.where it is used to separate hvdrophobic materals fom bvcdrophiic n mining this is an
Important operation to recoversultide ores For ores such as copper,this process lowers the costs otrecovering low grade ores and can save mining companles
processing costs
SEX is used a highly selective colector and is the strongest among the xanthates. it is favored for fotation of easly foatable or complex sulfide minerals it ls
used in such ores in conjunction with vulcanizing agents.
SEX is also used as precipitant in hvdrometalurgical processes such as the refining ofzinc electrolvte and as sulfidaion promoter of rubber
According to a study by Marce! Dekker, sEx wor’ks by foming a hidrophobic averwhen the polar part of xanthate molecule attaches to the ore particles wth
the non-polar hydrocarbon part.The particles then rise to the water surface due to air bubbles Typically on a very small amount ofsEx is neded for efficient
separation.
SEX is part of a famly of other Xanthates are used in the mining in the recovey of metal sulphides The eficiency of xanthates as mineral collectors increases
with the length of the carbon chain but this results in a decrease in the selectivity.
