The same procedure as in example 5, except that the flux was different, and comparative example 4 used a flux comprising 10 parts by weight of lime, 20 parts by weight of iron ore powder and 5 parts by weight of fluorite, excluding soda ash. The reduction smelting time in the microwave device is 35 min.

The crude antimony (mixture of crude antimony A and crude antimony B) obtained by the method of comparative example 4 contained 96.57% antimony, the antimony recovery yield was 81.32%, the slag contained 7.98% antimony, and the slag melting point was 1350 ℃.

Comparative example 5

The same procedure as in example 5 was conducted except that the flux was different, and the flux used in comparative example 5 comprised 10 parts by weight of lime, 20 parts by weight of soda ash and 20 parts by weight of iron ore powder, excluding fluorite. The reduction smelting time in the microwave device is 35 min.

The crude antimony (mixture of crude antimony A and crude antimony B) obtained by the method of comparative example 5 contained 97.18% antimony, the antimony recovery rate was 84.56%, the slag contained 7.57% antimony, and the slag melting point was 1310 ℃.

Comparative example 6

The same procedure as in example 5 was followed except that the reducing agent was different, and the reducing agent used in comparative example 6 was reduced coal. The reduction smelting time in the microwave device is 60 min.

The crude antimony (mixture of crude antimony A and crude antimony B) obtained by the method of comparative example 6 contained 95.75% antimony, the antimony recovery yield was 79.08%, the slag contained 15.07% antimony, and the slag melting point was 870 ℃.

Comparative example 7

The same method as that of example 5, except that antimony oxide powder, charcoal powder and flux are mixed in a solid mixer, and then are directly sent to a microwave device for reduction smelting without being added to a briquetting machine for briquetting. The reduction smelting time in the microwave device is 30 min.

The method of comparative example 7 was used to obtain 98.78% antimony in crude antimony (mixed crude antimony A and crude antimony B), 90.09% direct antimony yield, 2.97% antimony in slag, and 850 ℃ slag melting point.
