Raw Material for Calcium Antimonate Production

According to the Calcium Antimonate production plant project report, the various raw materials for Calcium Antimonate production include antimony trioxide-calcium carbonate.

Production Process of Calcium Antimonate

The extensive Calcium Antimonate production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:

• Production from antimony compounds: The production process of calcium antimonate (Ca2Sb2O7) involves mixing antimony compounds like antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) or antimony pentoxide (Sb2O5) with calcium sources such as calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The mixture is then heat-treated at temperatures between 1000 degree Celsius and 1100 degree Celsius in an oxidizing atmosphere. This process allows Sb2O3 to oxidize to Sb2O5, which reacts with CaCO3 to form Ca2Sb2O7, releasing CO2 as a byproduct. The resulting product is purified by washing and filtering.

Properties of Calcium Antimonate

Calcium antimonate is a white, fluffy powder with a high refractive index, which contributes to its effectiveness as a pigment and opacifier in paints, coatings, ceramics, and plastics. It has a molecular formula of Ca2Sb2O7 and a molecular weight of 403.67 g/mol. The compound is thermally stable under normal conditions but decomposes at very high temperatures. It is stable but reacts with strong acids to produce antimony oxides. It is synthesized by reacting calcium carbonate with antimony pentoxide at elevated temperatures in an oxidizing atmosphere.
