Abstract:
      Reaction mechanism of antimony direct smelting by reduction and sulfur-fixing reaction between Sb2S3 and ZnO in Na2CO3-NaCl molten salt was investigated. The results of thermodynamic calculation indicate that sulfur-fixing reaction can completely proceed at 400 ℃ above, CO% from gasification reaction of carbon can meet reduction and sulfur-fixing reaction even when mole concentration of Sb2S3 and ZnO in melt is both as low as 0.0001. In Sb2S3-ZnO-C system, sulfur-fixing reaction is divided into two steps, reaction between Sb2S3 and ZnO to produce Sb2O3 and ZnS firstly, and then consecutive reduction of Sb2O3 to Sb by addition of reductive agent. SO2 smoke is discharged in form of ZnS.
