Isopropyl Ethyl Thionocarbamate – High-Performance Chemical Reagent for Industrial Applications
Isopropyl Ethyl Thionocarbamate (IETC) is a widely used chemical reagent valued for its selectivity and efficiency in mineral processing, flotation, and separation processes. Known for its strong affinity toward sulfide ores, IETC has become a staple in the mining, metallurgical, and industrial chemical sectors. At City Chemicals Europe, we supply high-quality Isopropyl Ethyl Thionocarbamate tailored to meet global industrial standards, ensuring superior performance and customer satisfaction.
What is Isopropyl Ethyl Thionocarbamate?
Isopropyl Ethyl Thionocarbamate is an organosulfur compound belonging to the thionocarbamate family. It is typically applied as a flotation collector, enabling selective separation of valuable minerals such as copper, lead, and zinc from their ores. Due to its unique molecular structure, IETC exhibits strong collecting ability while maintaining controlled frothing properties, making it highly effective in large-scale industrial processing.
How It Works
IETC operates by adsorbing onto the surface of sulfide minerals, increasing their hydrophobicity and allowing them to separate efficiently during flotation. This targeted approach enhances yield, reduces impurities, and lowers overall processing costs. Compared to conventional collectors, IETC offers:
-
Superior selectivity – Ensures cleaner separation of minerals.
-
Improved recovery rates – Maximizes resource extraction.
-
Reduced consumption levels – Cost-effective due to higher efficiency.
Key Benefits
-
High selectivity for copper, zinc, and lead ores.
-
