pH-dependent phases of electrolytic antimony trioxide

摘要

Antimony trioxide (Sb_2O_3) has been employed in numerous applications, such as flame retardant in rubber, textiles, paper, plastics and paints, as a stabilizer in plastics, and as a catalyst/opacifier in glass, ceramics and vitreous enamels [1-3]. Antimony trioxide is conventionally produced by high temperature oxidation of antimony or antimony sulphide [1].
