Preparation of Aqueous Antimony Solutions

Antimony oxide solution is prepared by reacting antimony trioxide with potassium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide to form potassium antimonite, which is then deionized using a cation exchange resin. Another preparation involves reacting antimony trichloride with nitric acid to form a stable dispersion of antimony pentoxide in an organic solvent. A third process mixes antimony trioxide with a polyhydroxy alcohol and hydrogen peroxide to convert it to hydrous antimony pentoxide between 50-105 degrees Celsius. Antimony trichloride can be prepared through several reactions including one with chlorine or treating antimony trioxide with hydrochloric acid.

Preparation of Aqueous Antimony Solutions

Antimony oxide solution, Sb2 O 5 , is prepared by first preparing water-soluble potassium


antimonite by reacting antimony trioxide with potassium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide in
the ratio of 1 mole to 2.1 moles to 2 moles, and thereafter deionizing the potassium antimonite
by passing the solution through a hydrogen form cation exchange resin.

Another preparation of antimony pentoxide is the reaction of antimony trichloride with


nitric acid to form a dispersion in polar organic solvent, and stabilizing the dispersion with an
alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acid, Such dispersions contain about 0.01 to 5% water by weight.

Another process involves mixing particles of antimony trioxide with an aliphatic


polyhydroxy alcohol having vicinal hydroxyl groups, and contacting the said particles with
hydrogen peroxide to convert antimony trioxide to hydrous antimony pentoxide. Reaction
preferably is accomplished at a temperature between 50 to 105ºC.

Antimony trichloride is prepared by the reaction of chlorine with antimony, antimony


tribromide, antimony trioxide, or antimony trisulfide. It also may be made by treating antimony
trioxide with concentrated hydrochloric acid.
