Antimony (Sb), a silvery metalloid,1 is isolated and processed from the mineral stibnite (Sb2S3) for commercial use in a variety of downstream products and industries; its key properties are …
Antimony is typically extracted from the sulfide mineral stibnite, with lower grades concentrated by froth flotation and higher grades smelted. After falling slightly in 2023, the antimony price has risen in 2024 to reach US$15,500 per metric ton in mid-May. The metal's price is up significantly since 2020, when it averaged about US$7,000.
Yang and Wu developed a new hydrometallurgical process to recover antimony from complex stibnite concentrate. They dissolved antimony using a chlorination–oxidation procedure to obtain an SbCl 3 solution.
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.
On the other hand, the main primary antimony production starts with the processing of mineral Stibnite (Sb 2 S 3 ) which is an abundant antimony bearing mineral, and thus it is the main source for ...

Here are some of the key application areas and uses of stibnite and antimony: Fire Retardants: Antimony compounds, particularly antimony xide (Sb2O3), are widely used as flame retardants in plastics, textiles, and other materials. ...
The problem discussed in this antimony process study is limited to a concentrator capable of beneficiating 150 tons per day of antimony ore.The antimony in this study occurs as the mineral stibnite (Sb2S3) in association with small amounts of pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena and lead sulfantimonides. The gangue is composed largely of quartz but contains, in addition, a …
Antimony is a metallic element (chemical symbol 'Sb') that occurs primarily as the sulphide mineral stibnite, which is the principal ore for antimony mining operations worldwide. The extraction of antimony involves both underground and surface mining methods, depending on the ore deposit's characteristics.
Recovery of gold from refractory ores requires a pretreatment to liberate the gold particles from the host mineral. In particular, in the case of stibnite (Sb 2 S 3), the antimony …
The application of slurry electrolysis for high-arsenic antimony–gold concen-trate treatment provides several benefits, including a short treatment process, complete separation of antimony and gold, and low environmental impact. A key process in slurry electrolysis is the anodic reaction. In this study, pure
Antimony is rarely found in its pure state and most commonly occurs in nature as the sulphide mineral stibnite (Sb 2 S 3). It also occurs in more than 100 other minerals, usually as oxide, e.g., valentinite (Sb 2 O 3 ), and as antimonies of heavy metal sulphides such as tetrahedrite ((Cu,Fe,Zn,Ag) 12 Sb 4 S 13 ), livingstonite (HgSb 4 S 7 ) and ...
Several minerals of antimony exist; nevertheless, stibnite (Sb 2 S 3) is the primary mineral. Extractive metallurgical routes such as pyro and hydro-metallurgy have found industrial applications for stibnite processing; however, bio-hydrometallurgy is slowly gaining momentum.
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.
Friday's draft decision signals the possible end to a long and complex process of securing local, state, and federal permits required for Perpetua to restart operations at Stibnite, which first ...
US Antimony, which received a $510,500 grant from the US Department of Defense, has the only primary antimony processing facilities in North America and the Stibnite Gold project is poised to be ...
The conventional extraction of antimony from stibnite and jamesonite involves a two-step pyrometallurgical process comprising volatilization roasting and carbothermal …
produce antimony in the United States was the Stibnite Gold mine in the panhandle of Idaho, which ceased production in the mid-1990s. With ongoing environmental concerns, particularly the potential for mine runoff to ... Heavy concentration of antimony processing in China ensures that a large share (14,000 MT, 79 percent) of U.S.
Recovery of gold from refractory ores requires a pretreatment to liberate the gold particles from the host mineral. In particular, in the case of stibnite (Sb 2 S 3), the antimony (Sb) forms stable compounds with sodium cyanide (NaCN) during the cyanidation process; as a consequence, cyanide consumption increases.Pretreatment is usually an oxidation step.
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 exploitation and processing of stibnite-bearing ores involve the use of conventional stages of mining (open-pit or underground ... (2006) with a tailings sample containing stibnite and other antimony minerals showed a performance somewhat higher in terms of antimony recovery and grade in the concentrate when using lead nitrate instead of ...
In the meantime, stibnite often uses lead salts as activators first, and also uses copper salts or both lead salts and copper salts, and then uses collectors for flotation. ... The types of ores used for processing are: mono-antimony sulfide ore, sulfide-oxidized mixed antimony ore, tungsten antimony gold polymetallic sulfide ore, antimony ...
The majority of antimony is extracted from its ores, mainly stibnite (Sb₂S₃), which contains up to 71% antimony. Mining and Extraction: The first step involves mining stibnite ore, which is then subjected to a flotation process.

Because of physical and thermal stresses incurred during the growth process, this plane frequently displaces, or "glides", causing subsequent crystal growth to proceed along new axes. ...
Electrodeposited antimony can be treated with sulfuration–volatilization technology, which causes antimony to volatilize in the form of antimony sulfide. During this process, gold is enriched in the residue, thereby realizing the value-added use of antimony and the recovery of gold. In this study, the thermodynamic conditions of antimony sulfide were …
