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.

Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate (SIPX) is available in the solid powder form or in the shape of pellets. SIPX has the appearance of white to yellowish deliquescent solid in the powder form. The color of the SIPX pellets varies from yellow to green. In the solid powder form, SIPX emits a slightly pungent odour. In the pellet form, SIPX emits a sulphur like odour.

Sodium Isobutyl Xanthate (SIBX) is available in the form of pale-yellow crystals or powdered form in the pure state. It is also available in the form of a solution. In the solid form, SIBX absorbs moisture from the air, and so, it is known as a hygroscopic substance. SIBX emits the odor of carbon disulfide that is somewhat the same as that of decaying cabbage. In some cases, SIBX can emit a very faint unpleasant, or sulfurousodor. SIBX is readily soluble in water and could form insoluble compounds with different metallic ions.
