Description

n-(Dithiocarboxy)Sarcosine, Diammonium Salt is a specialized organosulfur compound belonging to the dithiocarbamate class, valued for its metal-chelating and surface-active properties. This chemical is primarily utilized as an effective flotation collector and chelating agent in mineral processing and water treatment applications. It is essential for industries requiring selective metal ion recovery or separation, such as mining, metallurgy, and industrial wastewater management.

Application

• Mineral Flotation Collector: Used in the froth flotation process for the selective separation and recovery of sulfide minerals like copper, lead, and zinc.
• Metal Chelation: Acts as a chelating agent in processes for the extraction, purification, or removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions.
• Water Treatment: Employed in formulations for precipitating or sequestering heavy metals in industrial wastewater streams.
• Analytical Chemistry: Serves as a reagent in analytical methods for the determination or complexometric titration of specific metal cations.
• Corrosion Inhibition: Can be incorporated into formulations as a component for protecting metal surfaces in certain industrial systems.
• Agricultural Chemicals: May function as an intermediate or additive in the synthesis of certain pesticides or fungicides.
• Polymer Additive: Potential use as a stabilizer or modifier in specific polymer and rubber processing applications.

Quality Control

Our n-(Dithiocarboxy)Sarcosine, Diammonium Salt is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. Standard quality parameters include assay, moisture content, and heavy metal limits. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
