Synthesis by Precipitation and Characterisation of Antimony Tetraoxide

Antimony oxide has found application in various area including clarification, pigment, material synthesis and catalyst. This study investigated the influence of synthesis parameters (precipitating agent and solvent) on the formation of antimony oxide powder. Characterizations of the samples were...
