Diisoamyl Sulfide CAS 544-02-5

Product Overview

DIAS is a branched sulfur-containing liquid used mainly in precious-metal refining. Diluted with kerosene, it picks palladium and gold out of acid leach solutions, leaving base metals and platinum behind, so it is a standard tool for separating and recovering these metals. The same material serves as a sulfur source in organic synthesis and, at trace levels, gives roasted, meaty and onion-like notes in processed flavours.

Applications

• Palladium and gold extraction. The main use is selective recovery of Pd and Au from leach liquors in PGM refining and precious-metal recycling.
• Synthesis intermediate. A convenient sulfur source for making sulfur-containing compounds and fine chemicals.
• Flavour chemistry. Adds roasted, meaty and onion-like character to savoury flavour systems at trace levels.
