The product obtained by roasting stibnite is likely to contain some unoxidized antimony trisulphide and a mixture of antimony trioxide and antimony tetroxide. It was desired to determine, as accurately as possible, the condition of the antimony as well as the total quantity present. Attempts were made to separate the trisulphide and the two oxides by methods based upon their varying ...

Since the effects of diantimony trioxide are presumed to be mediated by release and subsequent dermal uptake of the Sb (III) oxyanion, read across to other antimony (III) compounds is possible. The NOAEL can thus be adjusted for the antimony content of diantimony trioxide yielding a NOAEL indexed to antimony content of 1409 mg/kg bw/d.
