Antimony used in a sentence

Antimony in a sentence as a noun

Add metals like mercury, antimony, etc. Coal smoke is much worse than wood smoke.

China appears to control 90% of antimony [2] and its price seems to have gone up 700% over the last decade. Arsenic seems to have major supply issues, one of the most critical in terms of scarcity according to [3] and [4].

You mine "coal" and you unearth ore that contains elements like arsenic, cadmium, lead, antimony, selenium and thallium. The same goes for most mining operations.

I did the math on those liquid-metal batteries a while back, and figured out that getting an adequate amount of grid storage would take about a thousand years of antimony production. Tom Murphy's Do the Math blog is pretty good for this sort of thing.

Acknowledging the processes and tools of digital form-making, I worked consciously with the computer to recast the lead, antimony, and tin of the 17th century Fell Types into ones and zeros." I certainly couldn't!

"Earlier versions used molten magnesium and antimony, separated by a layer of salt, to store and release electricity" This sentence implies that they changed type of medium. I scanned article, but have not seen claims of any other materials.

> Earlier versions used molten magnesium and antimony I once calculated about how much magnesium and antimony would be needed to run the world on solar, using these batteries for storage. Based on the numbers I found in articles like this, and a little wikipedia, it came out to a thousand times our annual production of one of these metals, and ten thousand times our annual production of the other.

\nHere's a description from an earlier article -- same idea with different materials: "After hitting upon the idea of the liquid-metal \n battery, \u00ADSadoway searched for the perfect electrodes: \n he ended up choosing magnesium and antimony because \n they are cheap and separate naturally when in liquid \n form, the lighter magnesium rising to the top. A \n liquid-salt electrolyte rests between the magnesium \n and antimony electrodes, creating a cell with three \n layers."

> I did the math on those liquid-metal batteries a while back, and figured out that getting an adequate amount of grid storage would take about a thousand years of antimony production. Could you elaborate on that? Do you mean at current rates of production? You do realize that supply has no incentive to exceed demand, correct? If demand increases rapidly, there will be a huge incentive to increase production. As far as I know, antimony isn't rare and there's no reason why we could produce significantly more and match demand for these types of batteries.
