Bi, Bismuth Ore Mineral Analysis

Bismuth is a light pink colored, brittle, crystalline and shiny metal. It has various uses such as cosmetics, alloys, fire extinguishers and ammunition. In pharmacy, bismuth is used as the main component in stomach pain medications. The electrical and thermal conductivity of bismuth is unusually low as a metal.

Until recently, bismuth was considered the heaviest element with a fixed core. According to the latest research, the heaviest stable element is lead. Bismuth, which is solid at room temperature, has a melting point of 270 degrees and a boiling point of 2850 degrees.

Although bismuth was known in the 1400s, it was mixed with lead because it is a heavy metal. It was understood that it was different from lead in the 1750s.

Naturally occurring bismuth exists in the earth's crust both in pure form and in the form of various alloys with other elements. Bismuth is most commonly found in bismuthite or bismuth sulphide minerals. Generally, lead, copper, tin, silver and gold ores in Bolivia, Peru, Japan, Mexico and Canada emerge as a by-product when refining.

Bismuth alloys are very diamagnetic, meaning they resist magnetization and are pushed by a magnetic field. When placed in a magnetic field, it has low electrical conductivity and greatest electrical resistance. Bismuth also has a very low thermal conductivity.

Bismuth compounds are used as catalysts in the production of synthetic fibers and rubber. When combined with metals such as lead, tin, iron and cadmium, they form alloys with low melting points that can be used in fire detectors and extinguishers.
