The Miller chlorination process is well know and has been practised for a long time in the gold refining industry. The process consists of chlorine addition into the molten Dore …

Currently, the electro-refining process of crude lead employs fluosilicic acid (H 2 SiF 6) [10], fluoboric acid [11], perchloric acid [12] and alkaline system [13] — among which the H 2 SiF 6 system (Betts method) is the most mature and widely deployed [10].But the H 2 SiF 6-based lead electro-refining is suffering environmental burden.This is attributed to the high volatility of …

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. ... Method for removal of lead and arsenic in crude ...

Separation of lead from crude antimony by pyro-refining process with NaPO 3 addition JOM, 68 ( 2016 ), pp. 1541 - 1546, 10.1007/s11837-016-1921-2 View in Scopus Google Scholar

Belonging to the technical field of non-ferrous metal smelting, the invention relates to a method for removal of lead and arsenic in a crude antimony vacuum refining process. The method includes: first of all, adding a metal additive accounting for 1%-5% of the mass of crude antimony to obtain a mixed material, with the metal additive being metal manganese, metal aluminum or a …

The blast furnace smelting-reverberatory furnace refining is widely used in domestic antimony smelters, such as Hsikwang Shan Twinkling star and Chenzhou Mining ...

In the process of electrolytic refining, the required antimony content of lead anode plate is approximately 0.4–0.7 wt%. When antimony content of lead anode plate is more than 1.2 wt%, antimony firmly adheres to the residual lead anode plate during the refining process, which leads to difficulty in cleaning.
