Summary: This paper proposes a technical method of preparing antimony sulfide from heterogeneous antimony sulfide ores using vacuum distillation. The effects of temperature and time on antimony sulfide enrichment were investigated. The experimental results showed that the critical volatilization temperature of antimony sulfide was 923 K, and the volatilization rate was 8.28 x 10(-4) g center dot cm(-2)center dot s(-1). The optimum enrichment conditions were determined to be 923 K and 60 min, with a volatilization ratio of 95 % and purity of 99.9 wt%.

Summary: In this study, we used first-principles calculations to theoretically investigate the electronic properties of monolayer GaSe1-xTex alloys. Substituting Se with Te resulted in changes in the geometric structure, charge distribution, and bandgap. These changes were attributed to complex orbital hybridizations. This study highlights the strong dependence of energy bands, spatial charge density, and projected density of states (PDOS) on the concentration of substituted Te.

Summary: The study demonstrates that adjusting the amount of ethanolamine in precursor solutions enables the preparation of large-sized (up to 10 μm) Sb2S3 structures with strong visible light photosensitivity and photocatalytic activity. Various chemicals, including ethanolamine, thiourea, 2-methoxy ethanol, and antimony (III) chloride, were utilized for the synthesis of Sb2S3 micro-structures. XRD and Raman analyses confirmed the absence of secondary phases in all samples, which crystallized in an orthorhombic crystal structure. Photosensitivity measurements revealed fast decay and rise times of approximately 0.4 and 0.2 s, respectively, while varying the amount of ethanolamine allowed for a significant enhancement of photosensitivity up to 2600. Moreover, under visible light irradiation and using photocatalytic Sb2S3 material with a concentration of 0.4 mg/mL, it was observed that the degradation of methylene blue solution reached 95.88% within 60 min. These findings highlight the crucial role of ethanolamine in the development of Sb2S3 semiconductor materials for photodetectors and photocatalysis.

Summary: This paper studied the volatilization kinetics of antimony sulfide under vacuum conditions for the first time and explained the stability of antimony sulfide through thermodynamic calculations. The results showed that the apparent volatilization activation energy of antimony sulfide is 57.6 kJ/mol, and the volatilization control step is a gas phase diffusion process. The volatilization rate of antimony sulfide increases with temperature and decreases with system pressure.

Summary: Recent attention has been focused on the environmental risks posed by the highly toxic antimony (Sb) element to human health. Traditional methods for Sb removal face challenges of low efficiency, high costs, and potential secondary pollution. Carbon nanomaterials offer a promising alternative due to their high surface area, rich surface chemistry, and stability. Good conductivity of CNMs allows for a synergistic interaction between adsorption and electrochemistry, enhancing Sb removal efficiency.

Summary: In this study, the effects of sulfide temperature and volatilization pressure on the separation efficiency of antimony and gold enrichment were investigated. The results showed that the highest sulfuration rate was achieved when the molar ratio of sulfur to antimony was 3:1, the sulfur source temperature was 400 degrees C, the antimony source temperature was 550 degrees C, and the sulfuration time was 30 min. Furthermore, the antimony sulfide prepared under these conditions had the highest volatilization rate at 800 degrees C over 2 h at an evaporation pressure of 0.2 atm. The antimony sulfide obtained from the sulfuration-volatilization treatment of electrodeposited antimony had a stibnite structure and met the ideal stoichiometric ratio of sulfur and antimony in Sb2S3 (3:2), with gold enriched in the residue.
