Antimony Metallurgy | SpringerLink
Since 1930, antimony ore melting in blast furnace became an important process for producing antimony metal. In China, antimony ore was discovered at a tin mine in Hunan during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644). In 1908, Huachang Company of Hunan imported the volatilization roasting process from France to start antimony …
