Production Process of Zinc Antimonate
The extensive Zinc Antimonate production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- From Zinc Oxide and Antimony Oxide: The production process of zinc antimonate involves a solid-state reaction. In this reaction, zinc oxide and antimony oxide are reacted at elevated temperatures. The synthesis conditions, such as the temperature and pressure, are properly maintained throughout the process to get zinc antimonate as the final product.
Zinc antimonate has a molecular formula of ZnSb2O6 and a molecular weight of 567.7 g/mol. It exists as particles with a molar ratio of ZnO/Sb2O5 between 0.8 and 1.2 and shows no weight loss up to 1000 degrees Celsius. It is a gray solid with a density of 6.33 g/cm3 and a melting point of 565 degrees Celsius. It is a reducing agent and a semiconductor that reacts with water to produce stibine and is used in transistors and infrared detectors. All these chemical and physical properties make it useful as a flame retardant in various resins and plastics and as a smoke suppressant and antistatic agent.
