Hydrometallurgically treating antimony-bearing industrial wastes

In many instances, by-products or wastes containing antimony are generated during metallurgical processes. Although these materials pose environmental , recycling, and marketing challenges worldwide, the use of antimony hydrom etallurgical leaching principles and technologies may provide a remedy. Thi s paper outlines techniques for treating antimony-containing wastes and off ers examples of applications for those wastes and by-products.
