Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular level understanding of antimony immobilization mechanism on goethite by the combination of X-ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations.
Qian Sun,Cun Ping Liu,Ting-Ting Fan,Hu Cheng,Peixin Cui,Xueyuan Gu,Li Chen,Syed Tahir Ata-Ul-Karim,Dong-Sheng Zhou,Yujun Wang +9 more
TL;DR: In this article , a molecular level understanding of antimony immobilization mechanism on Fe oxides is required to clarify the fate of Sb in the soil, using macroscopic sorption experiments, combined with extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT), were utilized to explore the interaction between Sb and goethite.

Antimony release and volatilization from rice paddy soils: Field and microcosm study.
Jaime N. Caplette,Lorenz Gfeller,Dongfeng Lei,Jinsong Liao,Jicheng Xia,H. Zhang,Adrien Mestrot +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated porewater Sb release and volatilization in the field and laboratory for three rice paddy soils and found that flooding induced an immediate, but temporary, release of Sb into the porewaters that declined with SO42−, indicating that SO42 − reduction may reduce pore water Sb concentrations.

Mobility of Potentially Toxic Elements (Pb, Zn, Cd, As, Sb) in Agricultural Carbonated Soils Contaminated by Mine Tailings (Northern Tunisia): A New Kinetic Leaching Approach with Organic Acids
TL;DR: In this article , the potential of root exudates to mobilize potentially toxic elements (PTE) present in rhizospheric carbonated soils was investigated, and the results showed an increase in the pH of the solution (2.8) to values up to neutrality together with the increase in Ca and Mg concentrations in the leachate.

Ami Nishri,Ludwik Halicz +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of physical and biogeochemical regime across the mid-water temperature transition layer on the removal of redox-sensitive elements such as Mo, U, Sb, and Se is discussed.

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.
