Antimony trioxide is an oxide of [[antimony]]. It is used as a flame retardant in combination with halogenated materials, an opacifying agent in [[glass]] and ceramic production, in some special pigments, and as a [[catalyst]].
+
 
+
==Properties==
+
===Chemical===
+
Antimony(III) oxide is an [[amphoteric]] [[oxide]] of antimony. It dissolves in acids to form the corresponding acid salts and in sodium hydroxide to form [[sodium meta-antimonite]] (NaSbO2).
+
 
+
Sb2O3 + 6 HCl → 2 SbCl3 + 3 H2O
+
 
+
With carbon, antimony trioxide forms elemental antimony.
+
 
+
2 Sb2O3 + 3 C → 3 CO2 + 4 Sb
+
 
+
===Physical===
+
Antimony trioxide is an odorless, white solid.
+
 
+
==Availability==
+
To do
+
 
+
==Preparation==
+
Antimony trioxide can be prepared by reaction of antimony metal with oxygen at high temperatures. This is best done in a furnace. The product will sublime during the process of making it.
+
 
+
==Projects==
+
*Pigment
+
*Glass and ceramic production
+
*Catalyst for polyethylene terephthalate production
+
 
+
==Handling==
+
 
+
===Safety===
+
Antimony(III) oxide is a suspected carcinogen. It should be handled with care, especially at high temperatures where it tends to sublime.
+
===Storage===
+
Can be stored in any container. Should be stored away from acid and base vapors.
+
===Disposal===
+
To do
+
==References==
