Antimony (Sb) is a silver-white brittle solid or a dark-gray, lustrous powder. It can be harmful to the eyes and skin. Antimony can also cause problems with the lungs, heart, and stomach. Workers may be harmed from exposure to …

The antimony is extracted during the lead refining process in the form of sodium antimonate. Properties Antimony is a very hard, brittle and bluish-white metal with a highly distinct crystalline texture. Antimony is not an abundant element but is found in …
The antimony-containing leach liquor from the leaching step is separated from the insoluble residue by filtration, and the antimony compounds in the separated leach liquor are crystallized to separate the antimony compounds from impurities which are …
As a result three consecutive extractions for a total time of 45 min at 80 ˚C was the most efficient condition for Sb extraction. Using these extraction conditions 61%, 3.7% RSD and 42%, 2.2%...
Abstract The extraction of pentavalent antimony from nitric acid solutions using tributyl phosphate has been investigated. A possible mechanism for the extraction of antimony (V) has been determined and the (pre)concentration constant for the process has been calculated. The composition of the extracted antimony (V) complex has been deduced.
Antimony removal Listen Stock solutions of Sb (III) and Sb (V) (100 mg L −1) in chloride and sulfate media (1 M) were prepared by dissolving Sb 2 O 3 and Sb 2 O 5 in the respective acids and being made up with ultra-pure water. A 1 M iron stock solution was made by the dissolving FeCl 3 (67.5 g) into 250 mL ultra-pure water.
extraction of antimony with basic extractants from sulfate media is also less efficient than from chloride media. 51,52 antimony forms strong chloride complexes and can therefore be extracted as tetrachloroantimonate ( iii) complex sbcl 4−. 52,53 no waste residue is created with the hcl route, since neutralization of the hcl leachate with naoh …

The alchemist Basil Valentine is sometimes credited with "discovering" the element; he described the extraction of metallic antimony from stibnite in his treatise "The Triumphal Chariot of Antimony," published sometime between 1350 and 1600.
Then tin is complexed with hydrofluoric acid, and antimony is separated from iron, tin, lead and other co-precipitated elements, including lanthanum, by chloroform extraction of its xanthate. It is then determined spectrophotometrically, at 331 or 425 nm as the iodide.

Xinhai's gravity separation-flotation process is applied to all kinds of antimony ore. Solution Cases. In one of Xinhai's project, antimony content is 3.19%, among which the share of antimony sulfide is about 95.30%, and a small amount of antimony is existed in valentinite or antimonite, about 4.70%.
Antimony is a silverly, lustrous grey metal that exhibits poor heat and electrical conductivity. It is relatively soft, measuring only 3.25 on Moh's scale of mineral hardness. Known as "stibium" in classical Latin, antimony is represented by the chemical symbol Sb.
Antimony extraction from e-waste plastics was more challenging: aqua regia was inefficient for poly (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) (ABS) samples (extraction yield was about 20% only), while on a mixture of ABS and polycarbonate (PC), aqua regia, H 2 SO 4 and HCl exhibited equivalent performances (~21%).
As shown in Fig. 10, the trend analysis of the antimony element in the smelting process showed that, in the condition of blowing oxygen and not blowing oxygen, the …
The experimental results obtained show that 92.6% of antimony was extracted and enriched into crude antimony bullion as primary product at the conversion …
Removal of arsenic, antimony and bismuth from copper may take place in the smelting operations by scorification, volatilization, or, under special treatment, by processes of concentration. Owing to the great variety of materials that are treated in economical metallurgy, it is rarely possible to obtain exact weights from any particular operation.
An improvement in the method of extracting antimony by oxidation of an aqueous mixture of the solids in an acid or by oxidation of a leaching liquor obtained by leaching the antimony …
An increase in temperature from 30 to 50 °C resulted in a sharp increase in antimony extraction. However, beyond 50 °C, the extraction of antimony did not prominent …
Antimony is a lustrous silvery bluish white solid that is very brittle and has a flaky texture. It occurs chiefly as the gray sulfide mineral stibnite (Sb 2 S 3 ). History The ancients were familiar with antimony both as a metal and in its sulfide form. Fragments of a Chaldean vase made of antimony have been estimated to date to about 4000 bce.
Under this methodology, two valuable products from the e-waste were recovered: a 96 wt % pure copper deposit and 81 wt % pure antimony precipitate. The strategy for recovery of other metal ions, such as lead, present in the e-waste at high concentrations will be reported in further works. 1. Introduction ARTICLE SECTIONS Jump To
Description A native element, antimony metal is extracted primarily from stibnite, which contains 72 percent antimony and 28 percent sulfur. Stibnite is mined in only a few countries, with China being its largest producer. Antimony is used for many technological and industrial purposes.
Antimony extraction It is recommended that the eompound be fused with a mixture of sodium carbonate (2 parts) and sodium peroxide (1 part) as in the test for Plvoaphoms. Extract the fused mass with water, filter, and acidify with dilute hydrochloric acid.Pass hydrogen sulphide through the hot solution arsenic is precipitated as yellow arsenic sulphide. If antimony is present, it will …
The clean production process for extracting antimony from refractory gold ore involves sodium sulfide leaching, pressure oxidation, concentration, and crystallization …
This method separates antimony effectively from matrices and then mixes it with the Sb standard. As Te does not affect the accuracy of antimony measurement when the Te/Sb ratio is low, we can obtain an accurate Sb isotope composition of the mixture. Then, we can calculate the antimony isotope composition of natural samples.
A significant amount of antimony (Sb) enters into the environment every year because of the wide use of Sb compounds in industry and agriculture. The exposure to Sb, …
