purpose | mainly used in the production of safety matches, arms and in the rubber industry as hardener or pigment mainly used in the manufacture of matches and pyrotechnic, various antimony salts and colored glass. Rubber industry used as vulcanizing agent and military use. used as analytical reagent and rubber vulcanizing agent, also used in the preparation of fireworks and explosives rubber vulcanizing agent. The manufacture of fireworks, glass, explosives, paints and pigments. |
production method | There are three kinds of preparation methods: natural processing method, antimony White conversion method and direct method. Natural ore processing method. Natural stibnite by screening, grinding and other processing to produce antimony sulfide products. Antimony White conversion method. Reaction equation: Sb2O3 + 4Na2S + Ca(OH)2 + 3H2O → Sb2S3 + 8NaOH + CaS operation method: Sb2O3 1.80, Ca(OH)2 0.6, 6kg of H2O were mixed and heated at 80 °c for 1H. A Na2S solution was prepared by dissolving 2.41kg of 60% Na2S in 3L of water, and this Na2S solution was added to the above mixture over 30min at 80 ° C. With stirring, and the stirring was maintained for 30min. It was then acidified to pH 30% with 0.4 HCl in 3H. The temperature was raised to 95 ° C., stirred for 3H, cooled, filtered, washed and dried to obtain Sb2S3 pigment. Direct legal. Reaction equation: 3S + 2Sb → Sb2S3 operation method: after metal antimony is melted at high temperature, sulfur vapor is introduced into it, and antimony trisulfide is directly synthesized. The amount of sulfur is 103% to 115% of the stoichiometric amount, the reaction is stirred for 0.3 to 1H, and the reaction temperature is maintained at 650 to 850 °c. |
