Antimony Metal Introduction

Antimony ,silver white metal ,acid-resistant material under normal temperature,
specific gravity:6.68 ,melting point :630.5℃ ,boiling point :1590℃,crisp
and anti-corrupt character .
Antimony have been the important material for alloy which will increase rigidity so
it is also called hardener for both metal and alloy.In the beginning
antimony and antimony related material can be used as wearable alloy ,press letter alloy and ammunition industry .With technical development it is widely used as flame retardant which applied inporcelaine namel ,glass ,rubber ,dope ,pigment ,chinaware,plastic ,
semiconductor component ,firecracker,medication and chemcial products .
Main raw materials for antimony mineral smelting ,they are zinkenite,square antimony mine,

antimonide and 10 kinds of antimony mineral materials. With abundant resource ,reserves ,
output (antimony refined ore and antimony metal ) export quantity ,China have played an
importat role in the world.


Antimony mineral material character

The average content of antimony is 0.5x10-6 or 0.2x10-6 in the lithosphere (Thaler ,1964)
0.62x10-6 (Litong ,1976).Antimony content is less than carat gram value in magma rock,
nearly to carat gram value in acidity rock;antimony assemble to mud rock in sediment rock ,
adhere in aluminium dust mine (1.9x10-6～2.3x10-6),phosphor ash rock (1.2x10-6),
black shale (300x10-6),coal (30x10-16) and coal ash (200x10-6).

There are more than 120 kinds of antimony mineral and related concentrated material in the
nature ,ther are 4 main forms ,viz,(1) Natural compound and metal interchanged material such as
natural antimony ,arsenic antimony mine.(2)sulphide and vitriol ,such as zinkenite,sulfur-copper-
antimony mine ,sulphur-antimony-iron ore ,zinkenite mine ,black-copper mine .cartwheel mine,boulangerite ,
crisp boulangerite,inclined boulangerite ,sulphur-antimony-silver mine ,argentite antimony mine ,
argentite antimony -lead mine ,sulfur-Hg-silver antimony mine ,sulpur-oxiden antimony mine (3)halide or
related halide materials such as :chlorine-oxiden-lead antimony mine (4)oxide ,such as antimonide,
yellow antimoide ,antimony ochre,antimony autunite ,water antimony autunite .square antimony mine .

Main Types of Antimony Ore

Although ,there have been more than 120 kinds of antimony mineral material and related concentrated material
on the earth's crust at present ,so far there are only rare 10 kinds of them with industrial application
value ,Sb 20% min,viz : zinkenite mine (Sb 71.4% ),square antimony mine (Sb 83.3% ),antimonide (Sb 83.3% ),
antimony ochre (Sb 74%-79% ) ,yellow antimonide (Sb 74.5% ) ,sulphide oxiden mine ( Sb 75.2% ) ,natural antimony(Sb 100%),
sulphide Hg antimony mine (Sb 51.6% ) ,fragile sulphide antimony ,lead mine ( Sb 35.5% ),black copper mine (Sb 25%) .

Thereinto ,zinkenite mine is the most important mineral raw material.

Antimony Ore Classification : They should be classified as natural and industrial ore in the process of
geology reconnaissance.Natural antimony ore can be classified 3 kinds ,they are oxiden antimony ore ,
mixed antimony ore and original antimony ore .Accoridng to oxidation rate they should be classfied as :
oxiden ore >50%, mixed ore 30% -50% ,original ore <30% .

Indutrial Type of antimony ore

According to the ingredient property some of the antimony is single mineral bed ,the other more are more groups
living mineral bed , antimony and gold ,hydrargyrum and tungsten together.

Therefore industrial type antimony ore should be :single antimony ,antimony gold ,antimony gold-tungsten and antimony
tungsten.
