Sodium butyl xanthate: lt is used in the flotation treatment of sulfide and multi-metallic ores withgood selectivity and better collectivity. lt is also applicable as a vulcanization acceleratorfor rubber industry and the precipitant in wetting metallurgical industry.
Sodium ethyl xanthate: It is shortest carbon chain of the available xanthates.lt is most useful onsulphide ore and complex ore for maximum selectivity, and it is used as the vulcanizationaccelerator for rubber industry as well as precipitant in wetting metallur gical industry.
Sodium amyl xanthate: lt is the most powerfull collectivity xanthate used in the flotation treatment ofsulfide and metallic ores, specially a good collector for tre flotation of Cu/ Ni sulphide ore aswell as gold associated with pyrite.
