Environmental Data

Quantity Value Unit
Environmental remarks The most important ores are bismuthinite (Bi2S3) and bismite (Bi2O3). China, Mexico, Peru and Bolivia are major producers.

General

     
Remarks Bismuth is mostly produced in the USas by-product of lead, copper, tin, silver and gold winning.The thermal conductivity belongs to the lowest of metals. Remarkably Bi expands 3.32% at solidification. It is with tin, cadmium a low melting metal and used for safety devices. Very poisonous. Available in wire and rods.
