Stibnite, antimony sulfide (Sb2S3), the principal ore of antimony. This mineral has a brilliant metallic lustre, is lead- to steel-gray in colour, and fuses readily in a candle flame (at about 525° C [977° F]). It often possesses a bladed habit, is striated, and has one perfect cleavage. StibniteWeb
Evidence for the occurrence of antimony can be traced back to antiquity. 1 The name comes from the Greek, anti and monos, meaning 'metal not found alone'. 2 Indeed, antimony is usually found as the sulfide ore, stibnite, Sb 2 S 3, the black form of which was used by ancient Egyptian women as a cosmetic for darkening their eyebrows …Web

A wet chemical process was developed for the separation of gold from gold-bearing antimony sulphide ores. The ore sample was taken from the mine Urquidi from Oruro in Bolivia. It contained roughly 33% Sb in the form of antimonite. 24% Si in the form of quartz, small quantities of Pb, Fe, Cu, and Ni as well as 63 g/t gold, 60% of it as visible gold.Web
Antimony has a negative effect on the gold extraction from antimony–gold concentrate, and it is necessary to remove antimony in advance. For a high calcium low antimony–gold concentrate (Ca–Sb–Au ore), this study proposed to pre-remove antimony using slurry electrolysis in HCl–CaCl 2 system. The results indicated that the optimal …Web
Alkaline sodium sulfide is widely used in the removal of antimony bearing ore/concentrate (Awe et al., 2013). The decomposition of antimony sulfide can be carried out by the following reactions as Eqs. (1) and (2) (Smincáková and Raschman, 2011): Sb 2 S 3 + 2S 2− → Sb 2 S 5 4− Sb 2 S 2− + S 2− → SbS 3 3−Web
Antimony sulfide mineralization is encased within quartz veins and was formed under relatively low temperature conditions for vein mineralization. Ore-bearing quartz veins cut steeply dipped, folded, and faulted beds of the Stanley Shale (Mississippian). The veins strike generally east-west. Sulfides of copper, zinc, iron, and …Web
Antimony sulfide (stibnite) We begin with what some might consider to be the very first chemical equation in the very first chemistry textbook.
