ROASTING OF SULFIDE MINERALS In addition to common metals like copper, lead, zinc, and nickel a number of other metals such as antimony, bismuth, cadmium, cobalt, mercury, and molybdenum occur as sulfide minerals. Sulfides are not reduced with the most widely used redu-cing agents, carbon and hydrogen, because the free energy change for the ...

These air bubbles then rise to the surface, where they are collected and separated from the rest of the ore. Roasting: The collected antimony concentrate is then roasted at high temperatures. This process helps to remove impurities and convert the antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) into antimony oxide (Sb2O3).

Metallurgical extraction of antimony (Sb) currently has the limitations of high energy consumption and adverse environmental impact. In this study, we proposed a cleaning process to extract Sb by metallurgy and beneficiation based on S-fixing and reduction roasting of Sb2S3. Metallic Sb can be obtained directly by using zinc oxide …

Morphology and EDS of roasted gold ore (wet pellet, water 180 kg/ton ore, without NaClO 3, microwave power 700 W and roasting time 30 min). ... It is used to remove materials such as sulphur ore ...

Feedstocks containing 5–25% antimony are volatized by roasting at ~ 1000 °C; this treatment removes sulfur as SO 2 off-gas and antimony trioxide, Sb 2 O 3, is retrieved as flue dust which can then be reduced to antimony metal in reverberatory furnaces using carbon as the reductant (Hua et al., 2003, Anderson, 2012, Qin et al., …

In 1884, A. Bobierre and others proposed for the first time the volatilization roasting method for antimony regulus extraction. In 1896, electrolytic antimony was …

Roasting in Metallurgy. In metallurgy, the operation of roasting, as a preliminary to chlorination, has for its object the expulsion of the sulphur, arsenic, antimony and other volatile substances existing in …

The removal of the excess sulphur contained in sulphide ores by heating in an excess of air is called roasting. The concentrated sulphide ore is heated in reverberatory furnace, below its melting point or fusion temperature in the presence of an excess of air with or without the addition of an external substance.

Roasting of refractory gold ore with a composition of 180 kg NaClO 3 and 180 kg water/ton ore reached a temperature of 470 °C at a microwave power of 400 watts for 30 minutes. Total oxidized sulfur reached 90.6%, while only 10.4 % of the sulfur was released, and chlorine release was 49.5%.

The mechanism of roasting antimony sulfide ore via microwave oxidation was analyzed, which provided a theoretical basis for the clean utilization of antimony sulfide ore under microwaves. 2. Experimental2.1. Materials. The antimony sulfide ore used in this study was obtained from Hunan province (China) after passing through a 100 …

Thus, about 94 percent of the mercury was recovered by the combined flotation-roasting treatment of cinnabar- stibnite ore. Studies to develop a process for obtaining a marketable antimony by- product from the fluidized-bed calcine is the second phase of this investigation and will be the subject of another paper.

ore, is also volatile at high temperature causing environment hazardous. Hydrometallurgical process, including the acidity and alkaline methods and consisting of a two steps of leaching and electrodeposition, can be used for both simple and complex antimony ore. In practice, NaOH-Na 2 S [10] and FeCl 3 /SbCl 5-HCl [11] were the main

There are many varieties of antimony ore, including antimonite, antimonite, antimony, antimony ochre, etc. Depending on the properties of the ore, the optional beneficiation processes include manual selection, gravity separation and flotation. The density, color and metallic luster of stibnite are significantly different from those of …

Antimony has become an increasingly critical element in recent years, due to a surge in industrial demand and the Chinese domination of primary production. Antimony is produced from stibnite ore (Sb2O3) which is processed into antimony metal and antimony oxide (Sb2O3). The industrial importance of antimony is mainly derived from …

Antimony is classified as a critical/strategic metal. Its primary production is predominated by China via pyrometallurgical routes such as volatilization roasting—reduction smelting or direct reduction …

Furthermore, unless temperature control is very exact, the ore being roasted is liable to be fused into a solid mass, entirely hopeless as regards subsequent roasting or treatment. Provided the roasting is …

The antimony content is quite high, up to seven percent, under the form of various antimony oxides and native antimony. In the Brioude-Massiac area, France, antimony has been heavily mined at the end of the nineteenth century, giving rise to the generation of large amounts of wastes from the metallurgy of the ores.
