Antimony ingots, metallic blocks formed by refining antimony ore, are essential in fire retardants, batteries, and alloys. Known for their high melting point and thermal stability, they enhance flame resistance in plastics, textiles, and construction materials. Lead-antimony alloys also improve battery durability in automotive and grid storage systems. China dominates global production, followed by Bolivia and Tajikistan, using pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes. However, mining and smelting raise environmental concerns due to toxic byproducts. Recycling initiatives and stricter regulations aim to reduce ecological impacts, ensuring antimony’s role in sustainable technologies and safety-critical applications.
