Antimony is concentrated in tailings and waste rock from Sb mines as well as other locations, such as precious metal deposits, where Sb is present in the ore but not recovered. This review covers the aqueous geochemistry, isotope chemistry, mineralogy, and microbiology of Sb in the context of mine waste.
Antimony mining areas generate a large amount of wastewater containing complex heavy metals, which poses a threat to the health of residents and surrounding flora and fauna, and disrupts the ecological balance. Therefore, it is necessary to find more effective means of treatment. By reviewing the formation, risks, and treatment methods …
China is a net importer of antimony metal. Currently, 86% of Australia's antimony exports are sent to China for processing. Investing in processing capacity and infrastructure for lower-grade antimony products may offer limited strategic value for the United States, as these products will still be available under China's restrictions.
