Hydrometallurgical applications in the recycling of secondary materials containing antimony

摘要

In many instances, production of by-products or wastes containing antimony is a natural metallurgical process consequence. These materials pose environmental, recycle and marketing challenges. One possible remedy to this worldwide situation is through the use of antimony hydrometallurgical leaching principles and technologies. This paper outlines thee techniques and offers examples of applications to typical antimony containing wastes and by-products.
