Chemical Appearance Sodium Amyl Xanthate (SAX) is a sightly yellow or grey yellow powder or pellet. It is soluble in water and decomposes easily in the presence of acid and heat. It has a very pungent odour. Chemical Applications and Strengths Sodium Amyl Xanthate (SAX) is an extremely efficient chemical compound and therefore, has many industrial applications. It is most widely used as a very strong collector in the mining industry. Its main applications and strengths are: It is used as a collector in the mining industry. Collectors are chemicals that selectively attach to the surface of the mineral, making the mineral hydrophobic. Hydrophobicity is necessary for air bubble attachment in the precious metal extraction processes. Sodium Amyl Xanthate is the most powerful collector among the xanthates. It is extensively used in the flotation process of sulfide ores.

Chemical appearance: Sodium ethyl xanthate or SEX is typically a yellowish powder or pellet that is soluble in water. It is a xanthate based on the C2 alkyl ethyl alcohol in the sodium salt form. Chemical application and strengths: Sodium ethyl xanthate or SEX is used in mining as a flotation agent. It is used as a collector and xanthate used especially in copper mines. It can be used for flotation of various minerals that are activated or hydrophobic and float easily such as lead, cobalt, zinc and nickel. It can form insoluble compounds with these metallic ions. Sodium ethyl xanthate is especially important in in froth flotation, where it is used to separate hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic. In mining this is an important operation to recover sulfide ores. For ores such as copper, this process lowers the costs of recovering low grade ores and can save mining companies processing costs. SEX is used a highly selective collector and is the strongest among the xanthates.

Chemical appearance: Potassium Amyl Xanthate (PAX) is available in the form of yellowish or pale-grey crystals or in the form of free-flowing powder in the purest state. PAX is also available in the form of a solution. PAX is highly water-soluble and emits a slightly unpleasant odor that is similar to that of carbon disulfide or that of decaying cabbage. Another property of PAX is the absorption of moisture from air i.e., hygroscopic nature. Chemical application and strengths: The properties of PAX as a Xanthate make it the ideal collector for various nonferrous metallic ores. Potassium Amyl Xanthate is the perfect choice for flotation processes of nonferrous metallic ores as a strong yet non-selective collector. PAX works effectively as a flotation reagent in the flotation of oxide minerals such as oxidized sulfide, lead, and copper ores. PAX is also a popular flotation collector for copper-nickel sulfide and auriferous pyrite
