Description
This dataset is a market dataset, representing the consumption market of the region; the dataset includes the transport of the product from the gate to the consumer end, and the transport service is calculated according to the transport situation of this product in this region. This dataset represents the production of 1 t of antimony concentrate. It assesses the resource consumption and environmental load of the antimony ore beneficiation process.
Activity Description
The entire production process includes the antimony ore beneficiation process, covering the entire process from antimony ore to antimony concentrate.
Process Description
Antimony concentrate is an enriched product obtained from antimony ore through crushing, grinding, flotation and other beneficiation processes. Antimony concentrate is in powder or granular form, with relatively low impurity content, but is still accompanied by small amounts of arsenic, lead, iron and other elements. As the main raw material for smelting antimony metal and its compounds, antimony concentrate has high utilization value and good smelting adaptability, and is an important intermediate product in the industrial production of antimony.

Technology comment
The mineral processing process adopts flotation and gravity separation. In the flotation process of antimony raw ore, lead nitrate is used as the antimony activator, butyl xanthate is used as the collector, No. 2 oil (also called No. 2 oil or pine oil) is used as the foaming agent, and concentrated sulfuric acid is used to adjust the pH value and clean the surface of the ore particles.
