Calcium antimonate is an inorganic compound that is used as an opacifier and white pigment in the glass and ceramics industries. It provides opacity and a bright, stable white color to a various product. It is used in ceramic glazes to improve whiteness and surface quality, along with the durability and visual appeal of tiles, porcelain, and decorative wares.

It is utilized in the glass industry during the melting process to generate opaque white or colored glass. It can withstand high firing temperatures and corrosive environments, which makes it useful in specialized refractory materials and high-performance ceramics. Its stable structure and electronic properties are utilized in photocatalysis as it is effective in decomposing organic pollutants and supports environmental remediation. It is also employed in advanced material science and environmental technologies.

Feedstock for Calcium Antimonate

The manufacturing of calcium antimonate uses antimony trioxide and calcium carbonate as the major feedstock. The changes in the prices and availability of these raw materials affect its production.

The procurement of antimony trioxide is influenced price and availability of its raw material, i.e., antimony trisulfide ore (export controls and supply disruptions from major producers, along with strict environmental regulations and depleted mining reserves, affect the sourcing of antimony trisulfide ore). The fluctuations in its demand in plastics, textiles, rubber, electronics, polyester (PET) production, glass and ceramics manufacturing, pigments and paints, coatings, etc., affect its availability. Compliance with strict environmental and health standards, like limits on hazardous impurities and adherence to international regulations on chemical safety, adds to procurement costs.

The sourcing of calcium carbonate (another major feedstock used in the production of calcium antimonate) is affected by the price and availability of limestone (the changes in its demand in the construction, steel, agriculture, and chemicals industries affect its procurement). The fluctuations in its demand in downstream industries like construction, plastics and polymers, paints and coatings, paper and pulp, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, agriculture and animal feed, rubber, ceramics, glass manufacturing, etc., impact its availability. The choice between ground calcium carbonate and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) influences its quality and production costs. Regulatory standards for calcium carbonate specify requirements for quality, purity, particle size, etc., which involves strict testing, sampling, and documentation that adds to its procurement costs.
 

Market Drivers for Calcium Antimonate

The market for calcium antimonate is driven by its usage as an additive in the glass and ceramics industries. Its usage as a colorant and opacifier in the ceramic and glass industries fuels its demand in the construction and automotive industries. Its utilization as a dopant in the electronics and electrical sectors supports its demand in these sectors. Its flame retardancy is utilized in the textile and plastics industry, which further contributes to its demand.

Its use in making specialized refractory material as well as in high-performance ceramics makes it a popular product. In North America, strict workplace safety standards set by organizations like OSHA drive its demand for flame-retardant additives in construction, textiles, and plastics. In Europe, the growing ceramics and glass industries, along with a focus on sustainable manufacturing and advanced material properties, boost its demand. Its Asia-Pacific market is supported by rapid industrialization and urbanization and the need for flame-retardant materials and advanced ceramics in the construction, automotive, and electronics sectors.

The CAPEX for calcium antimonate production plant includes costs of rotary kilns, shaft furnaces, or electric furnaces, ribbon blenders and ball mills, gas flow controllers, oxygen injectors, and gas management systems. Air pollution control systems like electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), baghouse filters, and wet scrubbers, along with cooling towers and shell and tube heat exchangers, come under CAPEX. It also includes washing tanks, rotary drum filters, vacuum filters, conveyor belts, bucket elevators, gas detectors, and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Its OPEX includes costs of raw materials like antimony compounds and calcium carbonate along with costs of electricity or natural gas. It also includes maintenance and repair costs and wages of operators, maintenance staff, safety officers, and administrative personnel. The transportation of both raw materials and the final product, storage silos or bulk bags, maintenance of gas detectors, and personal protective equipment (PPE) also contribute to operational costs.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Calcium Antimonate manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Calcium Antimonate manufacturing.

• From Antimony Trioxide and Calcium Carbonate: The feedstock for this process includes antimony trioxide and calcium carbonate.

The manufacturing process of calcium antimonate involves a reaction between antimony trioxide and calcium carbonate. In this reaction, antimony trioxide is mixed and heated in an oxidizing atmosphere at temperatures between 1000 and 1100  degree Celsius. This reaction leads to the formation of calcium antimonate, with carbon dioxide as a byproduct. The resulting product is purified by washing and filtering to get pure calcium antimonate as the final product.
 

Properties of Calcium Antimonate

Calcium antimonate has a molecular formula of Ca2Sb2O7 and a molecular weight of 403.67 g/mol. It is white to yellow and has a melting point of around 1,200 degree Celsius. It is insoluble in water and crystallizes in the orthorhombic system. It forms stable crystalline phases at high temperatures and remains unchanged up to 1,000 degree Celsius. It has antimony that is present in the +5 oxidation state, and it does not exist naturally. It has strong chemical stability, resists dissolution, and maintains its crystalline structure. It shows intense blue luminescence under UV light and can be doped with rare-earth elements to modify its optical properties.
