Soil organic matter increases antimonate mobility in soil: An Sb(OH)6 sorption and modelling study
TL;DR: The role of organic matter (OM) in antimonate (further denoted as Sb(OH)6) mobility in soil is unclear as discussed by the authors, and the role of OM in Antimonate solid:liquid distribution coefficients (KD) was measured at low Sb concentrations in soil samples with a natural gradient in soil organic carbon (OC).
Journal ArticleDOI
A selective optical sensor for antimony based on hexagonal mesoporous structures.
TL;DR: Of particular interest was that the mesostructured sensor design provided control over the retention of the potential functionality of the naked-eye sensing system of Sb(III) ions upon the storage and even after several regeneration and reuse cycles, indicating large-scale reversibility of sensing systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of waterlogging on the solubility and redox state of Sb in a shooting range soil and its uptake by grasses: a tank experiment
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of waterlogging on redox state and solubility of antimony (Sb) in a calcareous shooting range soil and its uptake by forage grass Lolium perenne L. and pasture weed Holcus lanatus L. were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microwave extraction as an alternative to ultrasound probe for antimony speciation in airborne particulate matter
TL;DR: In this paper, an extraction method for speciation in airborne particulate matter (PM) collected upon quartz filters has been developed, based on microwave extraction at 90°W with an 0.05%mol L−1 hydroxylammonium chlorhydrate solution.

Removal of Antimony(III) from Aqueous Solution by Using Grey and Red Erzurum Clay and Application to the Gediz River Sample
TL;DR: In this paper, the removal of Sb(III) from waste water is achieved in batch system by using grey and red Erzurum (Oltu) clay which are cheap and natural adsorbents.

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.

Distribution of the Elements in Some Major Units of the Earth's Crust
Karl K. Turekian,K. H. Wedepohl +1 more
TL;DR: A table of abundances of the elements in the various major units of the Earth's lithic crust with a documentation of the sources and a discussion of the choice of units and data is presented in this article.

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.

Abundance of chemical elements in the continental crust: a new table
TL;DR: In this article, a table of element abundances in the continental crust, calculated on the basis of a 1:1 mixture of granite and basalt abundances, is presented.
