Abstract—Antimony oxide ore beneficiation has become one of the world’s largest mineral processing conundrums. In recent years, many experimental studies dealing with antimony oxide ore have been carried out, resulting in new technical achievements. Much attention has been paid to improving the mineral processing technology of antimony oxide based on such experiments. This work presents the latest research on antimony oxide ore beneficiation, outlining recent progress and developments in antimony oxide ore beneficiation around the world.
