Description
Potassium ethylxanthate is an organosulfur compound with the chemical formula CH₃CH₂OCS₂K. It appears as a pale yellow powder and is primarily used in the Mining Industry for the separation of ores. This compound is a potassium salt of ethyl xanthic acid and is known for its role as a flotation agent in the extraction of metals such as copper, nickel, and silver.
Application
Potassium ethyl xanthate, as the mining reagent, is the weakest xanthate , but PEX is very selective given the correct chemical conditions.
PEX is best for the recovery of sulfides that are relatively hydrophobic like galena.
Potassium ethyl xanthate (PEX)can recover all sulfides but because of its weak nature, the flotation kinetics are very slow.
