Mechanism of microbial dissolution and oxidation of antimony in stibnite under ambient conditions.
Prakash C. Loni,Mengxiaojun Wu,Weiqi Wang,Hongmei Wang,Liyuan Ma,Chaoyang Liu,Yuyang Song,Olli H. Tuovinen +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that microbial processes involved in the mobilization, oxidation, and transformation of antimony in minerals/rocks under ambient environmental conditions and offer new insights in biogeochemistry of Sb at mining areas.

Direct Determination of Trace Antimony in Natural Waters by Photochemical Vapor Generation ICPMS: Method Optimization and Comparison of Quantitation Strategies
TL;DR: A novel and sensitive approach for the accurate determination of antimony (Sb) in natural waters is described using photochemical vapor generation (PVG) coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) for detection, providing a 15-fold improvement in sensitivity over direct solution nebulization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potentially toxic elements in cascade dams-influenced river originated from Tibetan Plateau.
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors conducted a full investigation in dams-influenced Lancangjiang River basin to clarify the status, sources, behavior, and risks of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) contamination.

Synthesis of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles coated with cationic surfactants and their applications in Sb(V) removal from water.
Wenjing Guo,Zhiyou Fu,Zhiyong Zhang,Hao Wang,Shasha Liu,Weiying Feng,Xiaoli Zhao,John P. Giesy +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, synthesized absorbents, Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (Fe-MNPs) modified and dispersed with commonly used cationic surfactants, were applied to remove Sb contamination in real surface waters, its synthesized conditions, removal performance and mechanism were investigated by using batch experiments and characterization analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of antimony and arsenic behavior in an Ichinokawa River water–sediment system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrated the similarities in geochemical behavior of Sb and As under relatively oxic condition within a river system of Kamo-Ichinokawa in Japan.

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
