Antimony Smelting Metallurgist Mineral Processing The history of the antimony industry of China dates back to 1897 when the Tai Shing Co was formed, under contract with the Hunan Bureau of Mines, for the smelting of the ore to crude; and in 1908 the Wah Chang Mining Smelting Co was formed for the smelting and refining of the ore and crude to regulus
Antimony trioxide is separated from any arsenic trioxide (As 2 O 3) that may be present as an impurity by volatilization, as the latter is much more volatile than the former. It may be also prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of antimony trichloride and subsequent dehydration of hydrous oxide under controlled heating (rapid or vigorous heating may ...
To determine if this selective volatilization process is possible, a study was made of the vapor pressures of artificial lead oxide - antimony trioxide mixtures. The antimony trioxide is the only highly volatile phase present in these mixtures, so the vapor pressure is due almost entirely to the antimony trioxide.
