Journal ArticleDOI
Computer simulation of the low-molecular-weight inorganic species distribution of antimony(III) and antimony(V) in natural waters
Montserrat Filella,Peter M. May +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a computer speciation model of antimony in aqueous, multicomponent solutions of environmental and biological interest has been developed and evaluated using the JESS suite of computer programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimony in the environment: Lessons from geochemical mapping
TL;DR: The distribution of Sb in a variety of sample materials, including soils, plants and surface water, was studied at different scales, from continental to local, combining published data sets with the aim of delineating the impact and relative importance of geogenic vs anthropogenic Sb sources as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-Dimensional Reduced Graphene Oxide Coupled with Mn3O4 for Highly Efficient Removal of Sb(III) and Sb(V) from Water
Jian-Ping Zou,Hui-Long Liu,Jinming Luo,Qiu-Ju Xing,Hong-Mei Du,Xun-Heng Jiang,Xubiao Luo,Shenglian Luo,Steven L. Suib +8 more
TL;DR: Experimental results show that the RGO/Mn3O4 composite has fast liquid transport and superior adsorption capacity toward antimony (Sb) species in comparison to six recent adsorbents reported in the literature and summarized in a table in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calculation and application of Sb toxicity coefficient for potential ecological risk assessment.
TL;DR: The toxicity coefficient for antimony (Sb) is calculated based on Hakanson's principles, thus broadening the range of potential applications of this risk assessment tool and demonstrating that Eri is a reliable and logical index for evaluating Sb pollution in sediments within aquatic environments and in soils within terrestrial environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimony leaching from uncarbonated and carbonated MSWI bottom ash
TL;DR: Adsorption modelling suggested that HFO, rather than AAM, control Sb leaching when pH<9.5, since the pH became low enough to allow sorption by HFO and gypsum showed no affinity for Sb.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
