Real "chemical energy" you mean, without an Sb nuclear reaction ? It could not be a real chemical reaction involving valence electrons, for sure, but: 1) Maybe ballotechnic reactions (chemical reactions that occur on inner shell electrons). These kinds of reactions have been said by some to be real, and by others to be cold-war concoctions. 2) Maybe ZPE is involved, especially since this process does involve the cryogenic treatment of Sb, as Fred mentioned. 3) Maybe the chlorine supplies the hypothesized electronium triad (*c-) following which we have a electron-positron annihilation? Then there is the idea of Sb undergoing some kind of enhanced nuclear decay, perhaps following a ballotechnic reaction... Jones My bet is on the ZPE rearrangement of phase density (Casimir, beta-aether)...
