stibnite, antimony sulfide (Sb 2 S 3 ), 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. Stibnite occurs in massive forms in gneiss and granite.

 · Today, antimony is used in a wide variety of products and processes. It is mainly produced from stibnite ore (Sb 2 S 3 ), but also occurs as oxide (Sb 2 O 3 ), and as antimonides and sulphoantimonides of metals like lead, copper, zinc, silver, and gold [ 3 ].

What is Stibnite? Stibnite is a chief ore of antimony, which is a crucial mineral with industrial and medical uses. It is a sulfate mineral often found in hydrothermal veins. In the initial stages, stibnite is lustrous gray, black, and silver, and when fully formed, it exhibits an iridescent quality that is muchly prized and collected.

 · A procedure for the separation and recovery of antimony from this stibnite concentrate by electrowinning was studied (Figure 1 ). The process for the recovery of antimony from this concentrate was carried out in the following three main stages: antimony pentachloride circular leaching, purification, and membrane electrowinning.

Antimony sulfide contained in an antimony sulfide bearing ore, such as stibnite, is converted to high purity antimony trichloride by reacting the antimony sulfide bearing ore with a source of chlorine to form high purity antimony trichloride and sulfur or hydrogen sulfide as separable by-products. The high purity antimony trichloride may be hydrolyzed to form …

 · Although this process with short flow could eliminate the low-concentration SO 2 pollution, the antimony recovery rate and the antimony content in crude antimony were low. In the treatment of high arsenic and gold-containing stibnite concentrate, the problem of arsenic alkali residue is still prominent, and the loss by gold dispersion is high.

 · Antimony tends to concentrate in sulfide ores along with copper, lead and silver. It occurs sparingly as a free element, but when it does it is usually in association with arsenic, bismuth or silver. The principal ore minerals of antimony are stibnite and jamesonite, but it can also be a byproduct of certain other minerals.
