Sorption of V and VI group metalloids (As, Sb, Te) on modified peat sorbents
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated arsenic, antimony and tellurium sorption using iron modified peat and obtained results using batch tests and the sorption was studied as a function of initial metalloid concentration, pH and sorption time, as well as the presence of competing substances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity improvement for antimony determination by using in-situ atom trapping in a slotted quartz tube and flame atomic absorption spectrometry
TL;DR: A slotted quartz tube (SQT) as an atom trap (AT) for in situ preconcentration and flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) was proposed in this article.

Reference values for potentially harmful elements in soils from Atlantic Rainforest, Brazil
TL;DR: In this paper, natural baseline values of potentially harmful elements (PHE) in soils from Parana's Coast Plain (Atlantic Rainforest) were established and correlations with soil properties were verified.

Enhancing the removal of Sb (III) from water: a Fe3O4@HCO composite adsorbent caged in sodium alginate microbeads
TL;DR: In this article, a composite adsorbent was fabricated from ferriferous oxide and waste sludge from a chemical polishing process and encapsulated in sodium alginate (SAB).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydride generation coupled with thioglycolic acid coated gold nanoparticles as simple and sensitive headspace colorimetric assay for visual detection of Sb(III).
TL;DR: A simple and sensitive headspace colorimetric assay was developed for the detection of Sb(III) by hydride generation coupled with thioglycolic acid functionalized gold nanoparticles (TGA-AuNPs), which can tolerate at least 10-fold As( III) and 100-fold other metal ions including Hg(II).

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.
