Antimony Uses
Antimony (CAS NO.7440-36-0) can be used in the manufacture Ⅲ ~ V family compound semiconductor, high purity alloys, antimony sulfide and used for cooling components and silicon, germanium crystals doped with agents.
Additionally,it is used as analytical reagent, but also for the preparation of alloys and salt ,but also for high-purity reagents and raw materials for the semiconductor
Antimony Production
Industrial production of Antimony (CAS NO.7440-36-0) has distillation and zone melting method.
Distillation of antimony block by adding the reactor, which leads to chlorine chlorination reaction of antimony trichloride. Crude antimony trichloride will join the distiller, by adding a small amount of scrap metal antimony by vacuum distillation to remove its impurities antimony pentachloride, and then distilled under atmospheric pressure. To take 221 ~ 225 ℃ of the fractions by cooling crystallization obtained antimony trichloride, after reduction, the obtained purity metal antimony ≥ 99.999%. And then this metal antimony as raw material, purified by double distillation, the purity of obtained high-purity antimony ≥ 99.9999%.
