Dixanthogen（Cat No.:I003773）is an organosulfur compound commonly used as a flotation agent in mineral processing. It is formed from xanthates under oxidizing conditions and plays a critical role in enhancing the hydrophobicity of sulfide ores, such as those containing copper, zinc, or lead, facilitating their separation from non-sulfide materials. Dixanthogen’s ability to adsorb onto mineral surfaces improves recovery rates and efficiency in flotation processes. Additionally, its reactivity and role in industrial applications make it a valuable compound in metallurgical research and the development of sustainable ore beneficiation techniques.
