Leaching Source[edit]
The leaching source seems to be partially from this source: http://www.uni-heidelberg.de/press/news/news06/2601antime.html although the URL does not mention the results that are currently in this article.
Microelectronics use[edit]
The article indicates that antimony is used in tiny amounts in the semiconductor industry. As a dopant perhaps, but it is roughly 50% by weight of the semiconductor indium antimonide (InSb) used in infrared detectors.
Antimony in other minerals?[edit]
Lead ores often contain minor amounts of antimony as do some copper ores (e.g. tetrahedrite). There are also several sulfosalt minerals containing antimony (to some extent the carriers of antimony in lead ores). While the concentrations are low or modest the production of lead ore is much higher making them a potential source for antimony, and some other ores may also contribute. It would be interesting to know to what extent this antimony is lost in primary and seconday metalurgy and to what extent it is recovered. In the case of lead ores the antimony may be clandestinely recovered as an alloying element for lead and the concentration adjusted by adding more antimony or possibly by diluting with lead having a lower concentration. Antimony may also be recovered from dust resulting from pyrometallurgical refining of lead. It would be nice if someone could add information on these subjects and the relative importance of such sources.150.227.15.253 (talk) 20:18, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
What is antimony[edit]

- Antimony is a chemical element. It has the chemical symbol Sb. The symbol Sb is from the Latin name of 'stibium' for the element. It has the atomic number 51. Its atomic mass is 121.8. It is a blue-gray element that is somewhat toxic. John (talk) 14:53, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

This article is a GA from 2012. There are lots of uncited material which needs to be cited. I've gone head and added some {{Citation needed}} tags. 141Pr 20:00, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
