Sodium Thioglycolate / Sodium Mercaptoacetate ≥ 20% Chemical appearance
Sodium Thioglycolate / Sodium Mercaptoacetate ≥ 20% has a light yellowish and sometimes dark color. It comes in a liquid form with a strong pungent odour and has a pH level between 7 to 11.
Chemical application and strength
Sodium Thioglycolate (Sodium Mercaptoacetate) is a mining flotation reagent that operators mainly use to separate copper and molybdenum from copper sulfide ores. It also acts as a galena inhibitor and serves as an effective depressant for copper sulfide minerals during the flotation separation process.
Sodium Thioglycolate can deliver effective results as a depressant and may provide an alternative to conventional reagents such as sodium cyanide or sodium sulfide, depending on the ore characteristics and flotation conditions.
Key Features and Applications
- Enhances the recovery of various valuable minerals and metals during flotation.
- Helps depress unwanted copper sulfide minerals during selective flotation.
- Contains carboxylic acid and thiol (mercaptan) functional groups.
- Requires storage in a dry environment away from water and moisture.
- Store it away from open flames, ignition sources, and high temperatures.
- Manufacturers and users also apply sodium thioglycolate in other chemical and industrial applications, including acidity indication and nail-softening formulations.
- Industrial users can also use it as a fallout remover to help remove iron oxide residues from steel surfaces and rims.
