Abstract

The article presents results of hydrometallurgical and bio-treatment of antimony ores and recommend new dissolvents for antimony sulfides. The authors introduce a processing plant which is a single operating processor of antimonic gold-bearing alloys with the successful electrolytic refining of anodes and production of cathode antimony and noble metal slurry in Russian Federation.
