The production process of antimony produces a large amount of solid waste, such as waste rock in mining, tailings in the beneficiation, metallurgical slag in the smelting, and so on. At present, most of these solid wastes are currently in storage, and the storage of a large amount of solid wastes is not only harmful to the local ecological …
Antimony speciation and contamination of waters in the
The Sb mining history in Xikuangshan dates back to the nineteenth century with the first antimony smelter being constructed in 1897 (CMA 2006).Due to the rising demand for antimony in ammunition applications during the World War I, the Sb mining and smelting industry boomed in Xikuangshan with more than 160 family-style plants …
A Review on Pyrometallurgical Extraction of Antimony from …
Antimony is classified as a critical/strategic metal. Its primary production is predominated by China via pyrometallurgical routes such as volatilization …
Antimony isotope fractionation and the key controls in the …
The controlling factors of antimony migration and transformation in soil profiles are still unclear. Antimony isotopes might be a useful tool to trace it. In this paper, antimony isotopic compositions of plant and smelter-derived samples, and two soil profiles were measured for the first time.
