1989.1.1 This study aimed to introduce a vacuum process for recovering and enriching antimony from low-grade stibnite. At the pressure of 10 Pa, by controlling heating temperature, Sb 2 S 3 and Sb 2 O 3 from stibnite (12.8 wt% Sb) was evaporated and enriched. We investigated the influence of vacuum distillation temperature and time on
