However, stibnite and antimonial lead ores are the main sources of the metal. Stibnite (Sb2S3) and stibiconite (Sb3+Sb25+O6(OH)) were the only minerals mined in Arkansas for this metal. ... Antimony compounds are used in medicines, the rubber and patent-leather industries, paint pigments, enamelware glazes, and as fire-proof coatings on ...
In particular, in the case of stibnite (Sb2S3), the antimony (Sb) forms stable compounds with sodium cyanide (NaCN) during the cyanidation process; as a consequence, cyanide consumption...
Abstract. A new crystal structure is found to exist for stibnite which is orthorhombic, Pmmm. In this structure all the antimony and sulphur atoms have only one type of coordination, namely, trivalent and diavalent, respectively. They form a honey-comb-like planar network which is parallel to the xz -plane and stacked along the y -axis with the ...
A rapid and simple process has been developed for the recovery of antimony metal from stibnite ore of Kharan area (Balochistan) of Pakistan. The ore was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and found to contain 66% stibnite i.e. antimony sulfide (Sb2S3). The process parameters for the extraction of antimony were optimized on laboratory scale by varying reaction temperature from ...
Stibnite (Sb2S3) semiconducting material was successfully synthesized by a rapid and facile microwave route using antimony chloride (SbCl3) and sodiumthios ... 949, and 599 cm −1 correspond to the bonds of metallic compounds and M–OH modes of product [43,44,45]. The absorption peaks around 3400 and 1600 cm −1 related to the stretching and ...
Close comparison between Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3 up to 10 GPa reveals a slightly diverse structural behavior for these two compounds after the isostructural transition pressure. ... W. Refinement of the ...
Antimony sulfide sputtering target is a type of sulfide ceramic sputtering target composed of antimony and sulfur. Antimony is a lustrous gray metalloid, and it is found in nature mainly as the sulfide mineral stibnite (Sb2S3). Antimony compounds have been known since ancient times and were powdered for use as medicine and cosmetics, often ...

Antimony is a chemical element with the symbol Sb (from Latin: stibium) and atomic number 51. A lustrous gray metalloid, it is found in nature mainly as the sulfide mineral stibnite (Sb2S3). Antimony compounds have been known since ancient times and were powdered for use as medicine and cosmetics, often known by the Arabic name kohl.[5] The earliest known description of the metal in the West ...

The most common source of antimony is the sulfide mineral known as stibnite (Sb 2 S 3 ), although it sometimes occurs natively as well. Antimony has numerous applications, most commonly in flame-retardant materials.
In this research, ultra-fine Sb 2 S 3 nanoparticles encapsulated in activated carbon (Sb 2 S 3 [email protected]) were synthesized by a simple high-temperature melting method. Especially, natural stibnite (95 wt% Sb 2 S 3) was directly used as the Sb 2 S 3 source without other synthetic or purification processes.
Several minerals of antimony exist; nevertheless, stibnite (Sb2S3) is the primary mineral. Extractive metallurgical routes such as pyro and hydro-metallurgy have found industrial applications...
Antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) is found in nature as the crystalline mineral stibnite and the amorphous red mineral metastibnite. It is manufactured to use in safety matches, military ammunition, explosives, and fireworks. It is also used in the production of ruby-colored glass and plastics as a flame retardant.
Co–Sb intermetallic compounds (CoSb, CoSb2, and CoSb3) were simply synthesized by solid-state synthesis routes and their potential as anode materials for Li-ion batteries was investigated. The CoSb3… Expand 24 Plasma milling modified Sb2S3-graphite nanocomposite as a highly reversible alloying-conversion anode material for lithium storage
