Adsorption of Sb(III) and Sb(V) on Freshly Prepared Ferric Hydroxide (FeOxHy)
TL;DR: Pilot-scale continuous experiment indicated the feasibility of using in-situ FeOxHy to remove Sb(V), and equilibrium adsorption capacity at the equilibrium S b(V) concentration of 10 μg/L was determined to be 0.07, 0.11, and 0.21 mmol/g the in-Situ Fe OxHy as Fe, respectively.

Weathering of Sb-rich mining and smelting residues: Insight in solid speciation and soil bacteria toxicity
Alexandra Courtin-Nomade,Ony Rakotoarisoa,Hubert Bril,Malagorzata Grybos,Lionel Forestier,Frédéric Foucher,Martin Kunz +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the antimony mine of the French Massif Central was analyzed for their mineralogical and chemical contents by conventional X-ray powder diffraction and synchrotron-based Xray microdiffraction (μ-XRD).

Antimony interactions with heterogeneous complexants in waters, sediments and soils: A review of data obtained in bulk samples
TL;DR: Antimony association with colloidal and particulate phases is studied in waters, soils and sediments in this article, where various techniques have been used to extract antimony from water, soil and sediment, including simple partition coefficients, size-based speciation methods or sequential extraction techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Speciation of antimony and arsenic in the soils and plants in an old antimony mine
TL;DR: In this article, HPLC-ICP-MS revealed the presence of four species of Sb in the soil and plants, including SbIII, SbV, TMSb and UnkSb.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid photooxidation of Sb(III) in the presence of different Fe(III) species
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanisms of Sb(III) photooxidation in the presence of different Fe species were investigated systematically, and it was shown that the photocatalysis of FeCl 2+ and FeOH 2+ plays a significant role in Sb speciation.

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.
