Abstract:China has the largest antimony reserves of world, but its main export product is still crude antimony. After deep processing abroad, it is resold back into the domestic market, causing a huge trade deficit. In addition, high-purity antimony has high added value and is an essential raw material for the antimony-based semiconductor industry. It has been applied in many key fields such as thermoelectric materials, infrared imaging, and high-purity alloys. However, the substitution rate of domestically produced high-purity antimony raw materials is seriously insufficient, leading to the bottleneck problem in related industries. Therefore, the research and development of high-purity antimony metal is urgent. In order to accelerate the independent innovation of high-purity antimony metal technology, broaden the antimony product industry chain and its added value applications, this article summarizes the properties and uses of high-purity antimony metal, as well as the research results of high-purity antimony purification technology. It provides a detailed introduction to industrial production technologies such as vacuum distillation, chlorination distillation, and electrolysis of high-purity antimony metal, and looks forward to the current problems and future directions of high-purity antimony metal purification technology.
