  • Patent number: 11970441
    Abstract: The invention belongs to the field of mineral flotation collector materials, and particularly discloses a method for preparing thionocarbamate. In the preparation process, xanthate and 2-haloethanol are esterified to obtain O-alkyl-S-hydroxyethyl xanthate, and then O-alkyl-S-hydroxyethyl xanthate and fatty amine are reacted to obtain a mixture of thionocarbamate and 2-mercaptoethanol. The mixture of thionocarbamate and 2-mercaptoethanol is washed with alkali, and the oil phase and water phase are separated. The oil phase and water phase are thionocarbamate and 2-hydroxyethylthiolate, respectively, and 2-mercaptoethanol is obtained by washing with an acid. 2-alkylthioethanol is obtained by reacting 2-hydroxyethanethiolate with alkyl halide, and then with carbon disulfide and alkali to prepare O-alkylthioethyl xanthate. Thionocarbamate, 2-mercaptoethanol and O-alkylthioethyl xanthate prepared by this method possess high yield and high purity.
