· Electrolysis is much more efficient than traditional heat-based smelting methods, because it is a single-step continuous process, Sadoway explains. The discovery of that process is what transformed aluminum, more than a century ago, from a precious metal more valuable than silver into a widely used inexpensive commodity.

Secondary smelters can either produce a copper matte (for example Umicore [1,5]), or black copper from metallic and oxidic raw materials, such as electronic scrap [6,7,8].The present study focuses on the different stages of the latter process and illustrates experimental observations on how tin and antimony as trace elements behave in black copper smelting conditions with alumina and potassium ...
antimony is stibnite (Sb 2 S 3) and jamesonite (Pb 4 FeSb 6 S 14) [3-5]. The traditional method for the production of antimony is volatilization smelting followed by reduction smelting [6-7], which consists of two steps: oxidative volatilization of Sb 2 S 3 and reducing smelting of Sb 2 O 3 [8-9]. The reduction smelting is relatively mature and ...
· Antimony Smelting. China now leads the world in antimony production, having contributed during recent years something over 60 per cent, of the world''s production. The history of the antimony industry of China dates back to 1897 when the Tai Shing Co. was formed, under contract with the Hunan Bureau of Mines, for the smelting of the ore to ...
The smelting method of the sulphide ore is the iron precipitation method and oxide ore or poor ore may also be treated by the other methods. High purity antimony (99.98% Sb) is made by electrolysis. Reverberatory furnace is used for the iron precipitation method and cottrell electric apparatus was set to catch the flue dust.

· At present, the method of removing arsenic in the process of smelting antimony is mainly an alkaline air oxidation at high temperature. The addition of soda ash (Na 2 CO 3) and introducing air during crude antimony smelting allow arsenic to oxidize, which is separated from antimony to produce sodium arsenate. Thus the composition of antimony ...

2 of 25 T-ID121-FV-02-0202-M 1. Introduction This method can determine the amount of specific metal and metalloid particulates in the workplace atmosphere. The airborne particulates are collected on filters using calibrated sampling pumps.
Antimonial dust is a by-product of lead smelting and an important material for extracting antimony. A new pyrometallurgical process for producing antimony white from the antimonial dust is reported. The process mainly consists of three steps, which are reduction smelting, alkaline refining, and blowing oxidation. First, the reduction smelting of antimonial dust is carried out in an oxygen-rich ...
A new process for one-step extraction of antimony in low temperature from stibnite concentrate by reductive sulfur-fixation smelting in sodium molten salt, using iron oxide as sulfur-fixing agent, was presented. The influences of molten salt addition and composition, ferric oxide dosage, smelting temperature and duration on extraction efficiency of antimony were investigated in details ...

The discovery of antimony was about little antimony bar in Triassic period,but people didn''t realize this metal for a long time.The Jurassic when antimony metallurgy scholar Wang Haibing in his book describes the method of production of antimony sulfide ore smelting, but will mistakenly believe that the antimony antimony.
· Antimony is used in lead bullet alloys - IIRC, linotype is about 84% lead, 12% antimony and the balance is tin. One issue with melting and casting is that when the metal does finally melt, it does so immediately and you can have a potentially dangerous situation if you aren''t prepared for that event.
METALLURGY. LIQUATION: Liquation is the melting of stibnite into "crudum" or "needle antimony". It is carried out between 550 and 600 degrees C. If the temperature is lower, the recovery is poor. If the temperature is any higher, the stibnite volatilizes into oxide. This method …
Extraction of Antimony. Antimony is extracted mainly from ores containing antimony trisulphide in the form of stibnite. Rich ores are first subjected to liquation, whereby the fusible sulphide is removed from the gangue and concentrated. The concentrate is then reduced to metal by smelting with wrought iron in pots, in reverberatory furnaces or ...
· Antimony Smelter. The largest antimony smelter in the world in 1945 was just north of Laredo in Webb County. Initially it had been at San Luis Potosí, Mexico, operated by a British firm owned by the Cookson family and founded in 1704. The duty placed on foreign antimony in the 1920s had encouraged domestic production to free the United States ...
