Of the more than 100 minerals of antimony that are found in nature, the predominant one is stibnite (Sb 2 S 3). The principal world resources of antimony are Bolivia, China, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, and Tajikstan. The global mine production of antimony in 2013 was 163,600 metric tons (USGS, 2014).

1. Introduction Antimony (Sb) is a redox-sensitive and chalcophile element that dominantly occurs in nature as Sb(III) and Sb(V). 1 The element is commercially important for the production of glass, ceramics, metals, and rubber products and for the synthesis of flame retardant materials.Because of its assumed high toxicity, 2,3 antimony and its …

Antimony and arsenic are impurities in copper concentrates found normally as stibnite (Sb 2 S 3), tetrahedrite (Cu 12 Sb 4 S 13) and enargite (Cu 3 AsS 4). When copper concentrates contain appreciable amounts of As and Sb, they must be removed before smelting to avoid environmental pollution. Oxidizing volatilization roasting at 500–700 °C ...

The minerals stibnite (Sb 2 S 3) and stibine (SbH 3) are two of more than one hundred mineral species, ... (Sb 2 S 3) and valentinite (Sb 2 O 3). Nicolas Lémery, a French chemist, was the first person to scientifically study antimony and its compounds. He published his findings in 1707. Antimony makes up about 0.00002% of the earth's crust.

Stibnite (Sb 2 S 3) forms in the heat-exchanger units of several New Zealand binary geothermal power stations. By analysing aqueous samples collected from two representative plants, it was determined that stibnite forms at a rate of 8.7 and 15.8 kg/day at the Rotokawa and Ngawha power stations, respectively. These results were compared …

The XRD patterns of annealed Sb 2 S 3 show several sharp peaks in addition to the existing FTO and TiO 2 peaks, which correspond to the orthorhombic stibnite Sb 2 S 3 phase (ICDD PDF 01-075-4013). On a similar note, the Raman spectra of annealed Sb 2 S 3 show sharp peaks characteristic of Sb 2 S 3 thereby corroborating the XRD analysis and ...

Abstract. The application of Sb 2 S 3 with marvelous theoretical capacity for alkali metal-ion batteries is seriously limited by its poor electrical conductivity and low initial coulombic efficiency (ICE).
