Antimony ingot refers to the antimony metal block obtained after refining and refining. It is a form of antimony element.
Chemical Symbol: Sb(Antimony metal)
Atomic Number: 51
Appearance: Metallic silver or gray, with a crystalline structure
Melting Point: 631°C (1168°F)
Density: 6.697 g/cm³
Hardness: Antimony metal is brittle and can break under high pressure despite being in ingot form.
Toxicity: Similar to other forms of antimony, it can be hazardous if handled improperly.
Antimony metal ingots are prepared by the beneficiation, smelting and refining process of antimony ore. The beneficiation process mainly separates and purifies antimony ore from other impurity ores by physical methods.
Common beneficiation methods include gravity separation, flotation, magnetic separation, etc.
The smelting process is to use high-temperature reduction and oxidation reactions to decompose and reduce antimony trisulfide, the main component of antimony ore, to obtain metallic antimony.
In the process of antimony refining, some commonly used separation and purification technologies are also used, such as distillation, solvent extraction, ion exchange, etc. After these process steps, the final product is antimony ingot.
Electronic and electrical materials: it can be used to prepare semiconductor materials, electrode materials, and transmission lines.
The chemical industry: Antimony compounds can be used to prepare catalysts, flame retardants, heat stabilizers, etc., to improve the performance of materials such as plastics and rubber.
Antimony compounds can also be used to prepare pigments, rubbers, dyes, coatings, etc. Antimony ingots can also be used to prepare some special alloys, such as alloys for preparing lead-acid batteries, alloys for preparing special steels, etc.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
