The antimony diversity of supply of both mining and refining is low. • Almost 70% of Sb is mined as by- or co-product. • Companion metals can both have higher and lower resilience. • An additional 25% of Sb production comes from post-consumer recycling. • Stockpiling has played a role in dampening and exacerbating supply disruptions.
During zone refining process, As concentration in the whole bar was considerably reduced from 456 ppm to below 150 ppm (and as low as 50 ppm at the end of the bar) after only one zone pass by adding 0.1 wt.% Al into the Sb, which is contributed to the floating of formed AlAs intermetallic. ...

A new clean process for preparing high purity antimony trisulfide directly from antimony ore by a two-step vacuum distillation method at low temperature was proposed in this study. Impurity arsenic was volatilized into the gas phase, and antimony and other impurities were retained in the residue in the first step at 773 K and 5 Pa for …
Note: Total caustic added was 2.5 lbs. Total refining dross skimmed was 28.3 lbs. From this example, the following observations were made: (a) As seen in Table 2, the first sodium addition results in a low ratio of antimony removal for a pound of sodium added since most of the sodium added in this step goes into solution in the bullion and thus is not available …

MRT™ systems offer copper purification processes worldwide through effective bismuth and antimony removal from copper tank house electrolytes.
Bottom-up process design is performed for a new antimony white fuming approach from antimony-rich lead refining residues. Thermochemical modelling is used to evaluate process boundaries regarding temperature and slag composition allowing the fuming of qualified antimony white from mentioned residues.
Antimony has become an increasingly critical element in recent years, due to a surge in industrial demand and the Chinese domination of primary production. Antimony is produced from stibnite ore (Sb2O3) which is processed into antimony metal and antimony oxide (Sb2O3). The industrial importance of antimony is mainly derived from …

Antimony metallurgy is the technology that extracts antimony metal from antimony ores or produces antimony compounds. Antimony was discovered in the ancient time, and its name was derived from antimonite. In 1604, a process was invented to extract antimony and antimony sulfide as described by B. Valentine of Germany.
After the smelting process, the melt was allowed to cool to room temperature. The slag was then mechanically separated from the antimony. The metallic antimony obtained had a mass of 73.98 g, while the slag weighed 86.62 g. The detailed results of the antimony refining process are presented in Table 5.
In line 1 of antimony oxide production shown in Fig. 1, the operating temperature is 1000 (^circ {text{C}}) for the removal of sulfur and obtaining the volatile "crude oxide" from a concentrate with an average grade of 55% Sb that avoids a higher frequency of slag bleeding. Line 2, is called the refining line, is intended for the …

In addition to oil field services, our antimony based metal passivator can be used in the refining process. The cracking process produces coke deposits on the catalyst which include nickel and vanadium. The metal passivator is added to the feed stream to regenerate the catalyst and increase production and catalyst life.
The general rule is as follows: when the content of arsenic and antimony is high, arsenic and antimony must be first removed by oxidation refining; when the content of tellurium and silver is high, priority should be given to enrichment for recovery; when the content of arsenic, antimony, and tellurium is low, the oxidation refining and ...
