Description

Chemical appearance: The appearance of Sodium metabisulfite is either in the form of white crystals or as a powdered solid with a slight odor of sulfur. Inhalation could lead to toxic results and can cause serious damages to skin and tissue. Sodium metabisulfite is clearly soluble in water and forms a clear and colorless solution. Chemical application and strengths: The primary applications of Sodium metabisulfite are evident in the mining industry. It is used for controlling the depression of pyrites and sphalerite minerals. MBS is ideal for pH control for the froth flotation process, where it could control pyrite depression. Sodium Metabisulfite is also helpful in preventing flotation of sphalerite through copper activation with the availability of Tennantite/Covellite in the ore. In the case of pyrite flotation, the maximum iron/pyrite depression with the use of Sodium Metabisulfite is possible somewhere around the pH of 6.
