Antimony speciation on a dithiothreitol-functionalized two-dimensional Au@Ag array by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper , a two-dimensional (2D) Au@Ag-dithiothreitol (DTT) array was fabricated for antimony speciation analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient removal of antimonate and antimonite by a novel lanthanum-manganese binary oxide: Performance and mechanism.
TL;DR: In this paper , a novel lanthanum-manganese binary oxide (L1M2BO) adsorbent was synthesized by a simple oxidation coupled with precipitation method to effectively remove both Sb (III) and Sb(V), which outcompete most of reported adsorbents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attenuation of antimony in groundwater from the Xikuangshan antimony mine, China: Evidence from sulfur and molybdenum isotope study
TL;DR: In this paper , a detailed antimony hydrogeochemical study was carried out to identify the predominant geochemical processes affecting Sb attenuation within the aquifers, including adsorption on and desorption from Fe/Mn (hydr)oxides.

Influence of Mining Activities on Quality of Groundwater
J. Ilavský,D. Barloková +1 more
TL;DR: The Slovak Technical Standards (STN 75 7111 Water) and the enactment of the Decree of the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic No. 151/2004 on requirements for drinking water and monitoring of the quality of drinking water quality have resulted in the reduction of heavy metal concentrations or, for the first time, in defining the limit concentrations for some heavy metals (As, Sb), respectively as mentioned in this paper.

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.

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.
