Antimony is a dissolved state in water that has a strong migration ability, and when antimony is adsorbed to particles or sediments in water, its migration ability will be reduced. The reduction process can release antimony from sediments into the water environment. The transformation process of antimony is Sb(III) → Sb(V) → Sb(OH) 6 − ...

Abstract: This paper mainly investigated the antimony recovery from antimony-bearing dusts through reduction roasting process after the dust firstly oxidation roasted. CO–CO2 mixture gas was used as reducing agent, and the antimony-containing phase was reduced into Sb4O6, volatilized into smoke, and finally recovered through the cooling cylinder.

Under weathering conditions, antimony sulfide or stibnite (Sb 2 S 3), a sulfide mineral of antimony, will be rapidly oxidized and dissolved (Klimko et al., 2011; Maruška et al., 2000). Therefore, Sb 2 S 3 formed by the bioprecipitation (Wang et al., 2013) can be oxidatively dissolved by exposure to air during transportation.
In nature, there is a small amount of the simple substance of bismuth. The most common bismuth minerals include bismuthinite (Bi 2 S 3), bismutite (Bi 2 O 3 or bismite), copper bismuthinite (3Cu2S·4Bi2S3), plumbum bismuthinite (2PbS·Bi 2 S 3), and so on, among which Bi 2 S 3 and Bi2O3 are of the highest value. The bismuth minerals …

It can be seen from Eq. () that Sb 2 S 3 is deposited on the surface of gold particles, forming a dense product layer and hindering the diffusion of CN − and O 2 to the gold particles, leading to low leaching ratio [3, 4].Effect of Antimony on Pretreatment Process.

An ecologically acceptable and yet economic alternative for processing of sulfidic low-grade ores, where metal sulfides cannot be concentrated economically by flotation, is the extraction of metals by means of microorganisms. This procedure is called biomining [ 18, 20 – 22, 38, 40, 124 – 127, 144, 150, 158, 179 ].
