Overall reaction: HCl(aq) + NH 3(aq) NH + 4 (aq) + Cl − (aq) Then 5 drops more of 6M NH 3 are added after the HCl has been neutralized to make a mixture of NH 3 and NH + 4 that maintains pH ~9 and OH - at around 1 x 10 -5 M. The group III cations precipitate at this stage as hydroxides, as shown in Figure 5.1.1, except Ni2 +:
Stibnites from a large hydrothermal system reveal a large δ 123 Sb range of −0.27 to +0.86‰.. Sulfide separation from the fluid causes significant Sb isotope fractionation, and the best estimated Sb isotope fractionation factor (α fluid-stibnite) is ~0.9994.Estimated initial Sb isotope composition may constrain potential metal sources.
Antimony ore can be divided into antimonite, cubismite, antimony ochre, etc. Due to the difference in the nature of the ore, the process used is also different. Commonly used beneficiation processes include manual separation, gravity separation and flotation . This article briefly introduces these three commonly used antimony ore …

Thus, tin and copper are recovered in the form of concentrate through a simple physical separation process. With the flotation method, the direct yield of tin is only 80–85% [ 16 ]. In the oxidation roasting-acid leaching method, the sulfur slag is roasted under aerobic conditions, and then copper is separated from the tin through sulfuric ...
1. Introduction. Antimony (Sb) is a troublesome impurity in the tin (Sn) smelting process. Generally, the Sb content in a Sn concentrate is 0.01–0.5%, and approximately 95% Sb is mixed with crude Sn after reduction and smelting [1, 2].During crude Sn pyrorefining, Sb and aluminum (Al) are used to generate high melting point …
Along with antimony, the process results in separation and isolation of the other metals with which it is bound, yielding additional marketable compounds. More profit with lower environmental impact. According to project coordinator Christian Thomas, "It is currently quite difficult to separate antimony, arsenic, tin and lead. The existing ...

The dissolved antimony can be directly electrodeposited on the cathode to produce metallic antimony, the sulfur present in stibnite was transformed into elemental sulfur remaining in the residue, and the leaching residue can be used as raw material for further gold extraction. Thus, the separation of antimony and gold was achieved. …
The antimony-containing leach liquor from the leaching step is separated from the insoluble residue by filtration, and the antimony compounds in the separated leach liquor are crystallized to separate the antimony compounds from impurities which are left in solution in the leach liquor.
The high density of antimony minerals and their tendency to grind to slime (hardness of 2.5 on Mohs' scale) make gravity separation in the mill circuit an interesting possibility for the first step in the process.
Copper electro-refining (Cu-ER) is the principal method for producing >70% of high or 99.97% pure copper cathodes from 97-99% pure blister/fire refined-scrap copper anodes. While the inert and most of less soluble impurities settle as anode slime/sludge, other soluble impurities, particularly the metalloids (group VA/15 elements or Q: As, Sb and Bi) …
The electrochemical separation process was performed in molten NaCl-CaCl2. The content of Sb (atomic percent) in the Pb-Sb alloy was reduced from 1% to less than 0.01% (atomic ratio). The recovery principle lies in the different alloying potentials between Ca-Sb and Ca-Pb. Hence, molten salt electrolysis is a promising separation …
