Leaching of Antimony from Stibnite Ore in KOH Solution …
This work aims to shed light on the leaching kinetics of antimony from stibnite ore in potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution. Response surface methodology based on central composite design was used to investigate the effect of time, temperature, solid to liquid ratio (S/L), and KOH concentration as independent parameters on the leaching …

Antimony Trisulfide
Stibnite has a low melting point, and it can be extracted by melting if the ore contains 45-60% antimony and is free of lead and arsenic. This technique is called liquation. Sulfide ores with antimony contents between 5 and 25% are roasted to give volatile Sb. 2. O. 3. which is reduced directly to the metal. Low-grade and complex ores or ores in

Antimony Mining
Many minerals contain antimony; however, stibnite and antimonial lead ores are the main sources of the metal. Stibnite (Sb2S3) and its alteration oxide, stibiconite (Sb 3+ Sb 2 5+ O 6 (OH)), were the only minerals mined in Arkansas for this metal. Stibnite is steel-gray, has a relatively high specific gravity (4.6), and has a metallic luster.
