We found that the antimony diversity of supply of both mining and refining is low, but is enhanced by recycling, around 25% of global antimony supply is produced via recycling of antimony bearing metal alloys. Based on production volume, almost 70% of antimony was mined as by- or co-product in 2018, indicating a high supply risk.

In the process of electrolytic refining, the required antimony content of lead anode plate is approximately 0.4–0.7 wt%. When antimony content of lead anode plate is more than 1.2 wt%, antimony firmly adheres to the residual lead anode plate during the refining process, which leads to difficulty in cleaning.
