Antimony trioxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Sb2O3.
Antimony trioxide is the most important commercial compound of antimony.
Antimony trioxide is found in nature as the minerals valentinite and senarmontite.
Like most polymeric oxides, Antimony trioxide de occurs in nature as the very rare mineral stibioclaudetite.
Global production of Antimony trioxide in 2012 was 130,000 tonnes, an increase from 112,600 tonnes in 2002.
China produces the largest share followed by US/Mexico, Europe, Japan and South Africa and other countries (2%).
As of 2010, Antimony trioxide was produced at four sites in EU27.
Antimony trioxide is produced via two routes, re-volatilizing of crude Antimony trioxide and by oxidation of antimony metal.
Oxidation of antimony metal dominates in Europe.
Several processes for the production of crude Antimony trioxide or metallic antimony from virgin material.
The choice of process depends on the composition of the ore and other factors.
Typical steps include mining, crushing and grinding of ore, sometimes followed by froth flotation and separation of the metal using pyrometallurgical processes (smelting or roasting) or in a few cases (e.g. when the ore is rich in precious metals) by hydrometallurgical processes.
These steps do not take place in the EU but closer to the mining location.
Re-volatilizing of crude Antimony trioxide:
Step 1) Crude stibnite is oxidized to crude Antimony trioxide using furnaces operating at approximately 500 to 1,000 °C.
The reaction is the following:
2 Sb2S3 + 9 O2 → 2 Sb2O3 + 6 SO2
Step 2) The crude Antimony trioxide is purified by sublimation.
Antimony trioxide is an amphoteric oxide.
Antimony trioxide dissolves in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to give the meta-antimonite NaSbO2, which can be isolated as the trihydrate.
Antimony trioxide also dissolves in concentrated mineral acids to give the corresponding salts, which hydrolyzes upon dilution with water.
With nitric acid, the trioxide is oxidized to antimony(V) oxide.
When heated with carbon, the oxide is reduced to antimony metal.
When heated with potassium bitartrate, a complex salt potassium antimony tartrate, KSb(OH)2•C4H2O6, is formed.
Structure:
The structure of Antimony trioxide depends on the temperature of the sample.
Dimeric Sb4O6 is the high temperature (1560 °C) gas.

Antimony trioxide is inert, has good hiding power, and low oil absorption.
Since Antimony trioxide is darkened by Hydrogen sulfide, antimony oxide is often mixed with Zinc oxide which has preferential absorption for that gas (Gettens and Stout 1966).
Some samples may contain senarmonite and/or valentinite, two known mineral forms of antimony oxide.
Octahedral arsenic oxide may also be present as an impurity.

Strength of Antimony trioxide's izod effect and translucency are two chief features that are reduced because of the size of particle and color strength of antimony trioxide.
Reduction in translucency restricts choice of accessible color due to high loading needed to counterbalance the pigmentation of Antimony Trioxide.
Approximately 20,000 metric tons of antimony trioxide [1309-64-4] (commonly referred to as antimony oxide), Sb2O3, was used in the United States in 1990 to impart flame retardancy to plastics .
Although antimony trioxide is found in nature, Antimony trioxide is too impure to be used.
Flame-retardant grades of antimony oxides are manufactured from either antimony metal or the sulfide ore by oxidation in air at 600–800°C.
The particle size and chemical reactivity is determined by the processing conditions, enabling the production of several different grades.
Antimony trioxide is from 99.0–99.9 wt % Sb2O3.
The remainder consists of 0.4–0.01 wt % arsenic; 0.4–0.01, lead; 0.1–0.0001, iron; 0.005–0.0001, nickel; and 0.01–0.0001,sulfates.
Antimony trioxide is insoluble in water and the loss on drying at 110°C is 0.1 wt % max.
Antimony trioxide has been used as a white pigment since ancient times.
The pigmentation from Antimony trioxide in plastics can be controlled and adjusted by the judicious selection of a Sb2O3 grade having a specific particle size.
The product with the smallest particle size and the narrowest particle-size range imparts the whitest color and highest opacity.
Particle size during manufacture is controlled by adjusting the temperature and rate at which the antimony vapors are precipitated as these vapors exit the furnace.
The lower the temperature and the slower the precipitation rate, the larger the particles.
Although particle size affects pigmentation, Antimony trioxide does not appear to affect flame retardancy efficiency.
