Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetic and isothermal sorption of antimony oxyanions onto iron hydroxide during water treatment by coagulation process
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of pH, contact time, concentration, temperature, and ionic strength (IS) were studied to explore the mechanistic insights into the removal behavior of both Sb ions during potable water purification.
Journal ArticleDOI
New microprofiling and micro sampling system for water saturated environmental boundary layers.
TL;DR: The modular setups of two missys are presented, and it is demonstrated how the micro probe heads are manufactured; background concentrations and recoveries of the system as well as exemplary results of a sediment water interface are delivered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria responsible for antimonite oxidation in antimony-contaminated soil revealed by DNA-SIP coupled to metagenomics.
Miaomiao Zhang,Max Kolton,Zhe Li,Hanzhi Lin,Fangbai Li,Guimei Lu,Pin Gao,Xiaoxu Sun,Rui Xu,Fuqing Xu,Weimin Sun +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, Sb(III)-oxidizing microcosms were set up using Sb-contaminated rice paddies as inocula and a combination of DNA-SIP and shotgun metagenomic was applied to identify the SbOB and predict their metabolic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of different antimony (Sb) compounds and ageing on bioavailability and fractionation of antimony in two dissimilar soils
TL;DR: A deeper understanding of the potential risks associated with Sb compounds is provided and the role of site-specific considerations for improving the robustness of toxicity guidelines and long-term management of Sb contaminated sites is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological and human health risk assessment of antimony (Sb) in surface and drinking water in China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper provided an overview of Sb contamination in surface water and centralized drinking water sources across China and assesses its potential ecological and human health risks, which highlight the importance of clean Sb production to reduce the negative effects of Sabb contamination in China.

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.
