Evaluation of different amendments to stabilize antimony in mining polluted soils.
TL;DR: The application of several iron and aluminium oxides and oxyhydroxides as soil amendments was evaluated in order to assess their feasibility to stabilize Sb in mining polluted soils and proved to be highly effective to stabilized Sb.

The behavior of arsenic and antimony at Pezinok mining site, southwestern part of the Slovak Republic
Renata Flakova,Zlatica Zenisova,Ondra Sracek,David Krcmar,Ivana Ondrejková,Martin Chovan,Bronislava Lalinská,Miriam Fendekova +7 more
TL;DR: Arsenic and antimony contamination is found at the Pezinok mining site in the southwest of the Slovak Republic as discussed by the authors, where the highest dissolved arsenic concentrations correspond to mine tailings and the arsenic is present predominately as As(V).
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption of antimony on kaolinite as a function of time, pH, HA and competitive anions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the sorption behavior of Sb(III) on kaolinite as a function of various solution properties such as pH, initial Sb concentration, temperature and humic acid (HA).

BIOSORPTION OF ANTIMONY BY BROWN ALGAE S. muticum AND A. nodosum
TL;DR: The present study revealed that the alga S. muticum can be used as a low-cost adsorbent for antimony removal from aqueous solution.

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.

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
