Antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) is found in nature as the crystalline mineral stibnite and the amorphous red mineral (actually a mineraloid) metastibnite.It is manufactured for use in safety matches, military ammunition, explosives and fireworks.It also is used in the production of ruby-colored glass and in plastics as a flame retardant. Historically the …
Antimony was (Sb) not known when antimony was first discovered, although it was known to exist in compounds by ancient civilisations. It was known to exist is metallic form in the 17 th century and possibly even earlier. Antimony and several of its compounds are known to be toxic. Occurrence
There are two main types of modern antimony production methods—pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy [1,2,3].At present, the former is the main.

Although these methods can extract antimony effectively, these problems such as high failure rate of device, poor operating environment and high production cost are inevitable. Moreover, Fe and As also are dissolved into solution, causing a high burden for following purification and electro-winning process.
Antimony is often used as a hardener for alloys. There are few studies on the preparation of antimony from Sb2O3 by microwave carbothermal reduction. In this study, Sb2O3 was used as the raw material, and the resonant cavity perturbation method was used to select anthracite as the reducing agent according to the microwave …

Antimony is chalcophile, occurring with sulfur and the heavy metals, lead, copper, and silver. Over a hundred minerals of antimony are found in nature. Stibnite (Sb 2 S 3) is the predominant ore mineral of antimony. The most important use of antimony metal is as a hardener in lead for storage batteries.
Antimony has a range of industrial uses in batteries, chemicals, ceramics and glass but by far the most important is in fire retardants.
