    If you are roasting sulfides, this is a very dirty and stinking process because sulphur is coming out as SO2 and the reaction heat also is not really high.

    You may have a chance to use this compound as a pole of an electrode. But when I during my doctorate was doing experiments with antimony based electrodes, didn't come out attractive voltages.

    So under normal circumstances (earthlife, oxigen in atmomsphere) I guess "NO".

    I can't imagine why it could. Sb2S5? OK mix with water and get some heat. Big deal. If anyone has any idea why I'd love to know.

    besides from its technological and enviromental disadvantages it would be just to expensive.
