Antimony and bismuth are two of the most problematic impurities in copper electrorefining. As a result, much research has been done investigating the ways to remove them. Processes that are currently being used industrially include anode additions, liberators, ion exchange (IX), and solvent extraction (SX). Of these, liberators and anode additions are the …
Under these conditions, the antimony content in the oxidized solution is reduced to 0.092 g/L, and the antimony precipitation ratio is over 99.80%. Compared with the traditional air oxidation process (Yang et al., 2002), this antimony precipitation process is improved significantly.
In this work, a two-step vacuum metallurgy method was proposed to produce Sb2S3 from complex lead-antimony sulfide ore. As revealed from the experimental results, jamesonite (Pb4FeSb6S14) is ...
Antimony is one of China's four strategic resources, mainly used in flame retardant, alloy, medicine, electronic materials and other fields (Yang and Wu, 2014; Guo et al., 2017).The United States Geological Survey (USGS) shows the world antimony output will reach 110,000 tonnes, of which China will account for 60,000 tonnes in 2022 and be 55% of global …
Results of electrolysis of antimony (99.56% Sb) in a sulfate-fluoride electrolyte are provided. Electrolysis parameters and distribution of 20 associated elements between the cathode metal, sludge ...
The compounds float upward with the sawdust and become slag, so as to remove the arsenic and antimony. Besides, China has developed the pyrometallurgical refining process dominated by vacuum distillation, which has increased refining efficiency and reduced environmental pollution.
lighted antimony in its critical raw materials report, as the element with the largest expected supply–demand gap over the period 2015–2020. This has sparked efforts to find secondary sources of antimony either through the recycling of end-of-life products or by recovering antimony from industrial process residues. Valuable residues are ...
Spent lead–acid batteries have become the primary raw material for global lead production. In the current lead refining process, the tin oxidizes to slag, making its recovery problematic and expensive. This paper aims to present an innovative method for the fire refining of lead, which enables the retention of tin contained in lead from recycled lead–acid batteries. …
The FCC unit is regarded as the most important conversion unit and the cash cow of the refinery because the fuel produced from this unit alone accounts for 35 to 50% of the total gasoline produced globally in the petroleum industry [3], [4], [5], [6].However, the world crude oil supply changes towards heavier crudes, coupled with the quest by refiners to process cheaper …
