Description and Uses
                                            Potassium ethyl xanthogenate (ethyl potassium xanthogenate) has been used:
- in synthesis of unsymmetrical sulfides via cross-coupling reaction, using recyclable CuO nanoparticles under ligand-free conditions
 - as surfactant to investigate the adsorption of colloidal dye Disperse Blue 3 onto pretreated polyester fabric
 - in determination of microgram amounts of cadmium in water samples by substoichiometric radiochemical method
