The duty placed on foreign antimony in the 1920s had encouraged domestic production to free the United States from dependence on Chinese antimony supplies. At that time, the smelter company moved north along the railroads to remain as near as possible to the source of Mexican ore, which was produced chiefly at San Luis Potosí and Oaxaca, and ...

ANTIMONY (Data in metric tons of antimony content unless otherwise noted) Domestic Production and Use: In 2019, no marketable antimony was mined in the United States. A mine in Nevada that had extracted about 800 tons of stibnite ore from 2013 through 2014 was placed on care-and-maintenance status in 2015 and had no reported production in 2019.

The slags from this operation, under ordinary conditions, often contain 0.50 per cent, of arsenic and 0.10 per cent, of antimony. In smelting calcined coarse metal, containing 31 per cent, of copper, to white metal, its iron and the siliceous earthy matter derived from the furnace give a slag about equal to twice the weight of its copper contents.

The antimony smelter, when he wishes to determine the value of any parcel of ore—usually the sulphide—that may be offered for sale, practically has recourse to the smelting operation. That is, a quantity of 2 or 3 cwts. taken by his sampler having been obtained, he treats it under the immediate supervision of the foreman smelter as if it ...

While antimony concentrates assaying less than 50% antimony may be salable, such low-grade concentrates require special arrangements with the smelters. Smelter returns for antimony concentrates are based on a sliding scale which provides for 65% Sb content as the basis. Antimony payment is based on a short ton unit containing 20 lbs. antimony.

The most common antimony ore mineral is stibnite (Sb 2 S 3 ), but more than 100 other minerals also contain antimony. The presence of antimony in surface waters and groundwaters results primarily from rock weathering, soil runoff, and anthropogenic sources. Global emissions of antimony to the atmosphere average 6,100 metric tons per year.

Shortly thereafter, Wah Chang constructed an antimony smelter in Changsha to produce antimony metal using low grade antimony ore. This smelter became one of 24 roasting furnaces and 19 reverberatory furnaces that made up Wah Change's first plant. This plant is viewed as the start of large scale antimony production in China.
