Removal of Sb(V) from wastewater via siliceous ferrihydrite: Interactions among ferrihydrite, coprecipitated Si, and adsorbed Sb(V)
Huixiang Shi,Lei Chen,Yu Han,Wei Li,Xiaohui Zhan,He Wang,Chengchao Shi,Yanping Sun,Huixiang Shi +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a coprecipitation of siliceous ferrihydrite (SiFh) was conducted to resolve the instability of its amorphous structure, which limits its engineering applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of Sb(V) Using Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry at an Unmodified Edge Plane Pyrolytic Graphite Electrode
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) to determine pentavalent antimony at a carbon electrode in 0.25m HCl.

Effects of antimony on enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants in a metallicolous and a non-metallicolous population of Salvia spinosa L
TL;DR: The present study aimed at elucidating the role of antioxidants and stress metabolites in antimony (Sb) tolerance in a metallicolous, Sb[V]-hypertolerant population, and a non-metallicolous (NM) population of Salvia spinosa, particularly with regard to whether they could be involved in constitutive Sb tolerance.

Occurrence, Sources and Pathways of Antimony and Silver in an Urban Catchment
TL;DR: In this article, a large set of data was collected to investigate anthropogenic impacts on the geochemical behavior of such trace metals in urban river and found that Ag output river flux cannot be balanced with input fluxes unless to consider another source, which could be the erosion of contaminated soils.

Effects of sulfate reduction processes on the trace element geochemistry of sedimentary pyrite in modern seep environments
Zhiyong Lin,Xiaoming Sun,Kaiyun Chen,E. Strauss,Reiner Klemd,Daniel Smrzka,Ting Chen,Yang Lu,Jörn Peckmann +8 more
TL;DR: In this article , the trace element patterns of sedimentary pyrite can be affected by early diagenesis, and the authors applied laser ablation and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to analyze trace element contents of Pyrite from two methane-seep sites (DH-CL11 and HS148) of the South China Sea.

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.
