Adsorption of Antimonate, Sulfate, and Phosphate by Goethite: Reversibility and Competitive Effects
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize the adsorption of Sb(V) by goethite as a function of pH, I, and in the absence or presence of competing ligands, SO₄ or PO₆.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosorption of antimony(V) by freshwater cyanobacteria Microcystis from Lake Taihu, China: effects of pH and competitive ions
TL;DR: It is suggested that Microcystis from cyanobacteria blooms could be used as a potential biosorbent to remove Sb(V) from effluents at environmentally relevant concentrations (≤10.0 mg/L).

The Distribution of Antimony and Arsenic in Waters of the Dúbrava Abandoned Mine Site, Slovak Republic
TL;DR: The abandoned Dubrava Mine, situated in the northern part of the Nizke Tatry Mts in the middle of Slovakia, was the most significant producer of antimony (Sb) in the former Czechoslovakia as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial synthesis of antimony sulfide nanoparticles and their characterization
TL;DR: In this article, an antimony-transforming bacterium was isolated from the Caspian Sea in northern Iran and was used for intracellular biosynthesis of antimony sulfide nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemometric and environmental assessment of arsenic, antimony, and chromium speciation form occurrence in a water reservoir subjected to thermal anthropopressure.
TL;DR: The chemometric analysis coupled with the dissimilarity analysis and principal component analysis helped to visualize the variability in the concentrations of the element speciation forms within the researched period and analyzing correlations.

The composition of the continental crust
TL;DR: In this paper, a new calculation of the crustal composition is based on the proportions of upper crust (UC) to felsic lower crust (FLC) to mafic lower-crust (MLC) of about 1.6:0.4.

Quantitative assessment of worldwide contamination of air, water and soils by trace metals
Jerome O. Nriagu,Jozef M. Pacyna +1 more
TL;DR: Calculated loading rates of trace metals into the three environmental compartments demonstrate that human activities now have major impacts on the global and regional cycles of most of the trace elements.
Book
Handbook on the toxicology of metals
TL;DR: Handbook of the Toxicology of Metals as discussed by the authors is the standard reference work for physicians, toxicologists and engineers in the field of environmental and occupational health, which is a comprehensive review of the effects on biological systems from metallic elements and compounds.
