Usage

General Description

Zinc isopropylxanthate is a chemical compound that is commonly used as a flotation collector in the mining industry. It is a yellowish powder with a molecular formula of C4H7O2SSZn and a molecular weight of 213.7 g/mol. Zinc Isopropylxanthate is highly soluble in water and is often employed in the process of separating valuable minerals from their ore through flotation. Zinc isopropylxanthate is known for its ability to selectively bind to the surface of sulfide minerals, aiding in their separation from the gangue material. It is considered to be an effective and economical reagent for the recovery of various valuable metals from ores, including copper, lead, and zinc. However, it should be handled with caution, as it is toxic and can cause skin and eye irritation if proper safety measures are not followed.
