Conclusions
-
1.
The reduction ofβ-Sb2O3 occurs through a diffusion mechanism at temperatures of up to 575°C and through a diffusion-kinetic mechanism at higher temperatures.
-
2.
Antimony in powder form can be conveniently produced by the reduction ofβSb2O3 with a molecular and atomic hydrogen mixture.
