Journal ArticleDOI
Antimony speciation analysis in sediment reference materials using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry
Martine Potin-Gautier,Florence Pannier,Waldo Quiroz,Waldo Quiroz,Hugo Pinochet,I. de Gregori +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the development of suitable methodologies for determination of the speciation of antimony in sediment reference samples, using liquid chromatography with a post-column photo-oxidation step and hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry as detection system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photo-induced oxidation of Sb(III) on goethite.
TL;DR: The antimonite can be adsorbed and oxidized on goethite irradiated with light, which will greatly reduce its environmental risk.

Determination of arsenic and antimony in seawater by voltammetric and chronopotentiometric stripping using a vibrated gold microwire electrode.
Pascal Salaün,Kristopher B. Gibbon-Walsh,Georgina M. S. Alves,Helena M. V. M. Soares,Constant M.G. van den Berg +4 more
TL;DR: Methods are shown here for the electroanalytical speciation of inorganic arsenic and inorganic antimony in seawater using a solid gold microwire electrode and addition of EDTA removes the interfering effect of manganese when analysing As(III).
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption combined with superconducting high gradient magnetic separation technique used for removal of arsenic and antimony.
TL;DR: The separation of micro-sized MnFe2O4 solid in the continuous field was seemed to be independent on the magnetic field intensity, and the maximum separation capacities in various conditions were well predicted using the Thomas model.

Influence of combined pollution of antimony and arsenic on culturable soil microbial populations and enzyme activities
TL;DR: The trivalent states of Sb and As were more toxic to all the microbes tested and more inhibitory on microbial enzyme activities then their pentavalent counterparts and the results suggest that not only the application rate of the two metalloids but also the chemical form of meetingalloids should be considered while assessing the effect of metalloid on culturable microbial populations and enzyme activities.

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.

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.
