Interaction of As and Sb in the hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata L.: changes in As and Sb speciation by XANES.
TL;DR: Arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) are chemical analogs that display similar characteristics in the environment and the As hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata L. is a potential As–Sb co-accumulating species, but when this plant is exposed to different As and Sb speciation, the associated accumulating mechanisms and subsequent assimilation processes of As andSb remain unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment and distribution of antimony in soils around three coal mines, Anhui, China.
TL;DR: A detailed concentration analysis of Sb was used to indicate the anthropogenic source of human operation such as coal mining and depositing, coal cleaning, and electricity generation by coal power plants in the mine region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can magma degassing at depth donate the metal budget of large hydrothermal Sb deposits
TL;DR: In this article, a series of experiments were carried out to understand the effects of fluid composition, oxygen fugacity (fO2), pressure and temperature on the partitioning of Sb between magmatic fluids and a rhyolitic melt at crustal conditions.

Immobilization of Antimony(III) in Oxic Soil Using Combined Application of Hydroxyapatite and Ferrihydrite
TL;DR: In this article, the combined application of hydroxyapatite and ferrihydrite can simultaneously immobilize lead and antimony(V) in oxic soil, without re-dissolving antimony through oxidation.

Determination of total antimony(III,V) by square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry with in situ plated bismuth-film electrode
TL;DR: In this paper, a sensitive and reliable method is described for the determination of total Sb(III, V) at traces levels by Osteryoung square-wave anodic stripping voltammery (OSWASV).

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.
