The process of the stibnite decomposition in an airtight vessel was patented in 1932 for direct production of antimony (but there is no information about its industrial implementation). When stibnite is heated to 1500 °C in absence of oxygen, it will undergo the reactions shown in Equations (21) and (22), producing metallic antimony [ 2 ].

Antimony has been produced from ores in over 15 countries. As shown in Table 2 (Carlin, 2012), world reserves of antimony are estimated to about 1.8 million metric tonnes.As China, the leading producer, accounts for about 90% of the world's mined production and the vast majority of the reserve base (i.e. reserves consist of …
During WWII and the Korean War, the U.S. Government commissioned antimony and tungsten production from Stibnite under the authority of the Strategic Metals Act of 1939. The site produced over 90% of the antimony used by the U.S. during WWII and was influential in establishing Mil-Spec for antimony trisulfide.
Production of antimony became critical during World War II, when it was used for batteries, flame retardant and weapons. "It was a huge boon to the World War II efforts," said ia Gillerman, a research …
Source: p.402,405-407. Summary: Mining at the Stibnite Gold Project would be accomplished using conventional open pit hard rock mining methods. Mining is planned to deliver 8.05 Mst of ore to the crusher per year (22,050 st/d), with stockpiling by ore type (low antimony sulfide, high antimony sulfide and oxide).
However, China continued to be the leading global antimony producer in 202 3 and accounted for 48% of global antimony mine production. The world's leading antimony-producing mine was a gold-antimony mine with 23,000-ton-per-year capacity in Russia. The mine had significantly reduced antimony production in 2021 through 2023 because
Amongst these, stibnite as a predominant ore alongside cervanite contributes the major portion of the global antimony supply.3. Traditionally, pyrometallurgical methods have been commercialized for the extraction of Sb from stibnite. This method involves a roasting–volatilization process in a blast furnace …

The latter condenses as a white sublimate. Soluble in HCl. Decomposed in nitric acid, with separation of antimony pentoxide. Stibnite is a very soft delicate mineral and should be kept in a container with a very soft cushion like cotton and not allowed to rub up against the sides of the box.

The good news is, through the Stibnite Gold Project we have the opportunity to secure America's supply of antimony. Located in Idaho, the Stibnite Gold Project has one of the largest economic reserves of antimony and could supply approximately 35% of U.S. demand in the first six years of production (USGS 2023, Stibnite Gold Project …
These results proved the above thermodynamic analysis and reaction mechanism investigations. Antimony can be extracted from stibnite as crude antimony bullion by co-treating with a goethite residue without Na 2 CO 3 addition (Li et al., 2020). At the same time, sulfur in stibnite and iron as well as zinc contained in the goethite …

With technological advances, recent trends indicate a growing demand for this metal; however, with the on-going production rate, antimony is anticipated to become one of the scarcest metals by 2050. Several minerals of antimony exist; nevertheless, stibnite (Sb 2 S 3) is the primary mineral. Extractive metallurgical routes such as pyro and ...
Ye et al. (2015) have studied the production of metallic antimony from low-grade stibnite mineral using Na 2 CO 3-NaCl as the reaction medium. Likewise, Ouyang et al. (2019) have also performed a Sb 2 S 3-ZnO-C system to obtain metallic antimony directly and eliminate SO 2 emissions.

Historically, antimony sulfide carried several Greek and Latin names (anthemon, stibi, stimmi ) until 1430, when Basil Velentine identified the presence of sulfur and renamed it spiessglas. Francois Sulpice Beaudant formally assigned the name stibnite in 1832. The molecular weight of stibnite is dominated by antimony's 71.68% to sulfur's …
3.2 Production. Antimony is most commonly found in sulfides and sulfosalts such as boulangerite, jamesonite, stibnite, and tetrahedrite, as well as in some oxides such as semarmontite, stibiconite, and valentinite. Of the more than 100 minerals of antimony that are found in nature, the predominant one is stibnite (Sb 2 S 3). The principal world ...
