Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Non-ferrous metal smelting technician who manufactures high-purity metallic antimony from antimony ore.
Description
Antimony smelters smelt antimony ore (crude ore) in high-temperature furnaces, purifying metallic antimony by removing impurities through reduction reactions and chemical treatments. They handle a series of processes including melting furnace operation, addition of reducing agents, removal of impurities from molten metal, casting, cooling, and quality control testing. Work in high-temperature environments, handling of chemical agents, safety management, and equipment maintenance are also important tasks, requiring precise process control and recording of furnace performance data.
Future Outlook
Antimony has a wide range of applications such as flame retardants and electronic materials, with stable demand expected. However, due to advances in automation and overseas production, the number of personnel in domestic factories may gradually decrease.
