Aluminum adsorption and antimonite oxidation dominantly regulate antimony solubility in soils
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used 19 soils spiked with antimonite [Sb(III)] to identify the major factors controlling Sb availability and establish its predicting models, which showed that available Sb in different soils varied largely depending on the contents of free aluminum (fAl), free iron (fFe) and electric conductivity (EC), which explained 33%, 27% and 24.9% of the total variation, respectively.

Stefania Diquattro,Giovanni Garau,Matteo Garau,Gian Paolo Lauro,Maria Vittoria Pinna,Paola Castaldi +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) on the mobility, phytotoxicity, and bioavailability of antimony (Sb) was investigated in two soils (SA: acidic soil; SB: alkaline soil), spiked with two Sb concentrations (100 and 1000 mg kg−1).

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.
