Due to the large amount of antimony ore waste rock produced by perennial mining, the antimony ore waste rock is deposited in the open air and need high treatment cost. The goal of this study is to provide a possibility to utilize the antimony waste rock as a complete replacement for coarse aggregate in high strength concrete.
Antimony. A native element, antimony metal is extracted primarily from stibnite, which contains 72 percent antimony and 28 percent sulfur. Stibnite is mined in only a few countries, with China being its largest producer. …
One company began mining stibnite ore for upgrade and sale at a restarted antimony mine in Nevada, and was in the process of acquiring a mill to process the ore and produce marketable antimony concentrate. There was also interest in exploring and mining the historic Yellow Pine Mine, a gold-antimony deposit in central Idaho, that produced ...
This study investigated soil microbial community in a typical gathering area of antimony mining and smelting in South China. The physical and chemical properties of different soils (mining waste dumps, flotation tailings, and smelting slag) and depths (0–20 cm, 40–60 cm, and 80–100 cm) were compared. The results showed that antimony (Sb) …
Introduction. Exploration, exploitation, and utilization of mineral resources have driven China's rapid economic growth in recent decades [Citation 1].Although mining has been advantaged for economic development, this industrial activity has caused severe environmental pollution, especially in terms of heavy metals [Citation 2–4].Heavy metals …
Much attention has been paid to improving the mineral processing technology of antimony oxide based on such experiments. This work presents the latest research …
Antimony Mining. Antimony is primarily mined as stibnite ore (Sb2S3), which is a sulfide mineral. The ore is typically extracted through underground mining methods. Once the ore is mined, it is then processed to separate the antimony from other minerals and impurities.
Antimony resources are dominated by antimony sulfide ore, accounting for 85% of the total antimony resources. The main minerals of antimony sulfide ore are stibnite (Sb 2 S 3) and lead antimony sulfide ore (Pb 4 FeSb 6 S 16). Antimony oxide ores are mainly senarmontite and valentinite (Sb 2 O 3) . In the process of beneficiation, to …
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).
Antimony (Sb) is a valuable mined commodity, used mostly in fire retardants, and considered a critical element. It is also a potential environment hazard classed as a carcinogen. Antimony is concentrated in tailings and waste rock from Sb mines as well as other locations, such as precious metal deposits, where Sb is present in …
Project objectives are to document the origin of the Yellow Pine gold-antimony deposit and, by extension, the origin of this deposit type. Our goal is to understand the structural, tectonic, and magmatic setting of the deposit, the character of the ore-transporting fluids, the conditions of ore deposition, and the regional stratigraphic …
Moreover, China's antimony ore mining accounted for 52% of the world's antimony mining in 2020, with extraction of antimony ores also ranking first in ... The traditional treatment method of antimony minerals is the smoke method [8,9]; this is because antimony–gold ore contains gold and other minerals, and gold is often …
