| After the alkali cellulose has aged, carbon disulfide is added to form cellulose xanthate, which is dissolved in sodium hydroxide. |
| The alkali cellulose is next converted to cellulose xanthate crumb by reaction with carbon disulfide. |
| Cellulose xanthate is produced from wood cellulose in reaction with sodium hydroxide and carbon disulfide. |
| The solution may be regarded as containing the ammonium cellulose xanthate. |
| Cellulose xanthate has numerous applications in various industries, among which mention can be made of its application in floating metals in the extracted mineral rocks. |
| Xanthate anions and protonated xanthic acid contain a free thiol moiety and are highly reductive. |
