Antimony as a raw material for making metal and vitreous materials from the Bronze Age to the Roman period KU Leuven
Antimony has a long history of use in multiple materials, as it is a raw material both in metallurgy as well as in glass making. Still, several questions concerning the exact raw material used and its geographical origin remain unanswered. The first Cu-Sb alloys date to the 5th millennium BC (e.g. Nahal Mhismar), and this alloy occurs more frequently from 3500 BC onwards. The use of metallic Sb in objects in Mesopotamia is rare but does exist ...
A review of methods and data to determine raw material criticality Universiteit Gent
The assessment of the criticality of raw materials allows the identification of the likelihood of a supply disruption of a material and the vulnerability of a system (e.g. a national economy, technology, or company) to this disruption. Inconclusive outcomes of various studies suggest that criticality assessments would benefit from the identification of best practices. To prepare the field for such guidance, this paper aims to clarify the ...
