Alternative Fluxes for Lead Bullion Refining | SpringerLink
The Harris process for lead softening uses sodium hydroxide and sodium nitrate to remove arsenic, tin, and antimony from molten lead by oxidation. It is known to be better than oxygen softening; however, the process has a higher cost in terms of the reagents used. Sodium hydroxide is corrosive and expensive. In this research, calcium …

Catalyst technologies for improved FCC yields
Article Summary. To improve refinery margins, there is a trend to process heavier, more contaminated crude oil. Consequently, fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) feedstock is getting heavier (see Figure 1). 1 One of these contaminants that can be detrimental is nickel (see Figure 2). 2 Nickel (Ni) deposits on the FCC catalyst particle and catalyses …

Resilience in the antimony supply chain
The antimony diversity of supply of both mining and refining is low. • Almost 70% of Sb is mined as by- or co-product. • Companion metals can both have higher and lower resilience. • An additional 25% of Sb production comes from post-consumer recycling. • Stockpiling has played a role in dampening and exacerbating supply disruptions.
