As a professional manufacturer of antimony rotary furnaces, we are well aware that the activity of antimony oxide powder during the pyrometallurgical smelting of antimony ore in rotary furnaces is affected by multiple factors. Our rotary furnaces are designed to meet these challenges and produce highly active antimony oxide powder.

First, smelting temperature is crucial. Our rotary furnaces feature a precise temperature control system that ensures the temperature remains within the optimal range. The appropriate temperature allows for a full reaction between antimony and oxygen. Our rotary furnaces avoid the problems of slow reaction and incomplete oxidation in conventional rotary furnaces, preventing these issues and ensuring the purity and activity of the antimony oxide powder. Excessively high temperatures can cause the antimony oxide powder particles in conventional rotary furnaces to sinter, reducing their activity. Our rotary furnaces, equipped with intelligent temperature control, maintain a high specific surface area of the antimony oxide powder.
Second, the furnace atmosphere significantly influences the process. Precisely controlling the oxygen content is crucial. Our rotary furnaces utilize advanced gas conditioning systems for precise oxygen control. With an appropriate amount of oxygen, antimony can be fully oxidized. If there is insufficient oxygen, traditional rotary kilns will produce low-valent antimony oxides, but our rotary kiln can avoid this. If there is excessive oxygen, ordinary rotary kilns will have side reactions, but our rotary kiln can control the oxygen within the optimal range.
Third, ore particle size is a crucial factor. Our rotary kiln is uniquely designed to accommodate ores of varying particle sizes. Fine-grained ores tend to fly and stick, but our kiln prevents this. Coarse-grained ores react slowly, but our kiln accelerates the reaction.
In addition, the rotary kiln speed also has an impact. Our rotary kiln is equipped with an advanced speed adjustment system that can accurately control the speed according to demand to ensure that the material is fully reacted.
In short, the activity of antimony oxide powder is affected by many factors. Our rotary furnace, with its advanced technology, can effectively respond to these factors and precisely control parameters to produce highly active antimony oxide powder for customers. It is an efficient, stable and high-quality production solution.
