In the blast furnace volatile smelting process, the evaporation rate of antimony is up to 90%, and the rate of loss of metallic antimony in slag only is 1~2%, thereby this method is widely adopted in China's antimony regulus industry.The shortcoming of this method is: (1) owing to adopt the surface cool method in technology, and ANTIMONY ...
In the ore beneficiation and smelting processes, substances containing antimony and other heavy metal components are commonly used, such as blast furnace slag, mine waste rock, and tailings. These materials can contribute to the generation of wastewater containing antimony compounds and other heavy metals ( Ren et al., 2016 ).
Using of copper-zinc concentrates in the blast furnace process for recycling lead-containing materials achieves: (1) high copper extraction to matte; (2) high lead extraction to lead bullion; and (3) high zinc extraction to slag, while at the same time producing a more efficient volatilization of As and Sb.
The blast furnace process rate is controlled by the proportion of coke in the charge and by the air flow through the tuyeres in the floor of the furnace. The charge descends through the furnace shaft into the smelting zone, where it becomes molten, and is tapped into a series of settlers that allow the separation of lead from slag.
Smelting in a blast furnace is applied for intermediate grade ores and all other materials containing antimony (25–40% antimony). Rich ores (with 45–60% …
Guo et al. characterized the process residues (e.g., slags, flue dusts) from an antimony smelting plant in Xikuangshan area in China (the "antimony capital"). They found large amounts of antimony in the flue dust of the blast furnace (23.4 wt%) and in the residue from the arsenic removal process (37.8 wt%).

Volatilization of impurities such as As and Sb should occur as early as possible in the process, and preferably within the smelting furnace, so that they do not …
The invention discloses a method for collecting gold by smelting low gold antimony ores in a blast furnace. The method comprises the following steps: putting 50-280 parts by weight of lump ores, 120-350 parts by weight of pellets, 100-120 parts by weight of coke, 100-108 parts by weight of iron ores and 15-48 parts by weight of limestones to an external …
Xikuangshan Flash-Antimony Industry Limited Liability Company is a smelting plant in the Xikuangshan area with an annual production of 4 × 10 4 tons of antimony. The wastes produced in the smelting processes in the Xikuangshan area mainly include water-quenched slag (WQS), desulfurized slag (DS), arsenic-alkali residue (AAR) …
A large amount of solid waste has been produced by the antimony smelting process in the "World Capital of Antimony", Xikuangshan area in China. ... desulfurized slag and blast furnace dust. These four types of waste were enriched in a variety of heavy metals and metalloids and more specifically with As and Sb levels up to 8.6 × 10⁴ and 3.16 ...

A blast furnace is a block that smelts ores, raw metals and metal armor and tools twice as quickly as a furnace but cannot smelt anything else. It also serves as an armorer's job site block. A blast furnace can be picked up using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it does not drop. Blast furnaces drop their contents when broken. Blast furnaces can …
