Sodium metabisulfite is a chemical compound that is commonly used in various industries. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a strong odor of sulfur dioxide. It is widely used in copper and gold mines as a flotation agent.
In copper mines, sodium metabisulfite it is added to the mineral slurry to create a froth that separates copper minerals from unwanted ones. The froth is then collected and further processed to extract copper. In gold mines, it is used in a similar way to separate gold minerals from other minerals. It reacts with the surface of the gold minerals, creating a hydrophobic layer that causes them to float to the surface of the slurry.
Sodium metabisulfite is also used as a reducing agent in copper and gold mines. It helps to reduce the levels of impurities in ores and prevents oxidation of certain minerals. This helps to improve the quality of the final product and increase its value.
