Does anyone know of a Solvent for Antimony Trisulphide other than hydrochloric acid, reason being i have some 400 mech which i would like to recrystalize and grind down to ~200 mesh chinese needle.

You can't grind it down to chinese needle, it is a naturally occuring shape. Your 400 mesh will be fine, and you will be hard pressed to find a solvent for Sb2S3 short of an acid.

Well if your really desperate you could of course melt it. However I find that anytime a pyrotechnic formula calls for Sb2S3 it doesn't really matter what form it is in(for my case atleast). I can't speak for all the pyros out there. <_<

I highly doubt that it would work, but perhaps CS2, SCl2/S2Cl2, etc.

Yeah, 400 mesh will work in all formulas. However, 200 mesh will not work in all. For example, 200 mesh will not work in cracker balls (torpedos, whatever).
