The use of antimony ore has attracted people's attention with the wide application of antimony ore in people's daily life and industry. Understanding the use of antimony ore is of great significance to better grasp the causes of antimony ore.

The raw materials for smelting antimony metal minerals mainly include 10 kinds of antimony minerals such as antimonite, squardite, and antimony bloom. There are more than 120 kinds of antimony minerals in nature. Among them, antimony minerals, such as antimony ore, skewardite, and antimony ocher, are rich in Chinese antimony mineral resources. The reserves, output (antimony concentrate, antimony metal), export volume, etc. Both occupy an important position in the world.

Antimony ore is a mineral containing metallic antimony. The use of antimony ore is mainly used to produce antimony products. Antimony is mostly used as a component of other alloys to increase its hardness and strength. Such as battery plates, bearing alloys, printing alloys (types), solders, cable sheaths and bullets all contain antimony. Lead-tin-antimony alloy can be used as a stamping die for thin plates. High-purity antimony is a doping element of semiconductor silicon and germanium. Antimony white (antimony trioxide) is one of the main uses of antimony. Antimony white is an important raw material for white pigments and flame retardants for enamels and paints. Antimony sulfide (antimony pentasulfide) is the red pigment of rubber. Raw antimony (antimony trisulfide) is used in the production of matches and smoke.

The use of antimony ore is related to the classification of antimony ore types. Classification of antimony ore types: In the process of geological exploration, ore should be divided into natural and industrial types. The natural types of antimony ore can be divided into three types: oxidized ore, mixed ore, and primary ore. The standard is classified according to the antimony oxidation rate (%): oxidized ore>50%, mixed ore 30%-50%, primary ore<30% . The industrial types of antimony ore are based on the material composition characteristics of antimony deposits in China. Some are single deposits dominated by antimony, and more are multi-component co-associated deposits. Some antimony co-exists with gold, mercury, and tungsten. Therefore, the types of antimony ore industry include: single antimony, antimony gold, antimony mercury, antimony gold tungsten, antimony tungsten and other types.
