Antimony Ore Processing

Gravity separation is mainly suitable for the antimony oxide ore and coarse-grained stibnite processing, and can also be used for pre-selection and enrichment of antimony sulfide ore before flotation. The common stibnite, yellow antimony, red antimony and antimony are minerals with high density and coarse particle size separated from gangue by ...

Antimony Mobilization through Two Contrasting Gold Ore Processing

Antimony, a toxic metalloid similar to arsenic, is present at variable levels in most gold-bearing rocks. Antimony is soluble in the surface environment, so antimony (Sb) mobilization in mine waters is an environmental issue around gold mines. The Reefton gold mine was originally developed in gold-bearing quartz veins; Sb concentrations were low (<100 mg/kg) …

Beneficiation of antimony oxide ore: A review

Their concentrate recovery rate was 89.06%, reflecting the effective recycling of hard to process antimony oxide ore. This not only fully uses this valuable resource, but also increases the economic efficiency of such enterprises. A flotation-gravity concentration-reflotation process for antimony oxide ore from Iran was adopted by Chen D.X. [36].

Beneficiation of Antimony Oxide Ore: A Review

In contrast, gravity separation of antimony oxide ores is difficult. The main difficulty is that the hard-ness of antimony oxide ore is lower than other metal ores, and it is easily overcrushed. In addition, gravity has a limited effect on the selection of fine-grained antimony oxide ore. During flotation of antimony oxide ore, the main
