Processing Of Antimony Minerals By Oxidizing And Reducing

The key antimony minerals of commercial interest to remove are stibnite, tetrahedrite, and jamesonite, while the main bismuth mineral is bismuthinite. The most promising methods for separating antimony and bismuth minerals from sulphide ores are based on pH and/or pulp potential adjustments or the use of starvation levels of collector.

Antimony is naturally mobilized into the environment from mineral deposits and the release is predominantly from sulfur bearing minerals, particularly Sb 2 S 3 (Ashley et al., 2003; Craw et al., 2004). Therefore, microorganisms can oxidize mineral-bound sulfide and Sb may play an important role in the mobilization of stibnite-bound antimony in ...

antimony sulfide concentrates to obtain metallic antimony and antimony xide are discussed, and methods of refining antimony from impurities are also analyzed. Keywords: antimony, compounds, minerals, raw materials, alloys.

Antimony is a dissolved state in water that has a strong migration ability, and when antimony is adsorbed to particles or sediments in water, its migration ability will be reduced. The reduction process can release antimony from sediments into the water environment. The transformation process of antimony is Sb(III) → Sb(V) → Sb(OH) 6 − ...

The leading antimony mineral is stibnite. In smelting stibnite ore two processes are available, precipitation and roasting-reduction. The former is suited, only for high-grade ores. As low-grade ores are more common than high-grade, roasting-reduction is of greater importance than precipitation.

The biological reduction of Sb(V) under anaerobic conditions is affected by the type of electron donor, pH, and the presence of sulfate, which alter the antimony species and could lead to its precipitation as Sb 2 S 3 over a pH range of 5–8. 17 Sb(V) is chemically reduced to Sb(III) by the H 2 S formed during the sulfate-reducing process ...

Like most mineral processing, antimony ore processing consists of ore crushing, grinding, classification (gravity separation and cyclones) and flotation. ...

Antimony can exist in several oxidation states (-III, 0, III, and V), however, Sb(III) and Sb(V) are the most common in surface and near-surface environments. Sb is a chalcophile element and the mineral stibnite is the most common Sb ore mineral (Schulz et al., 2018).
