Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidation of antimony (III) in soil by manganese (IV) oxide using X-ray absorption fine structure.
TL;DR: The results indicated that manganese (IV) oxide played an important role in the oxidation of Sb(III); however iron (III) hydroxide was not directly related to the reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery and valorization of tannins from a forest waste as an adsorbent for antimony uptake
TL;DR: In this paper, tannins were extracted from Pinus pinaster bark and converted into adsorbents through polymerization, and the performance of the produced adsorbent was assessed on the sequestration of Sb(III and Sb-V) species from water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Migration and leaching risk of extraneous antimony in three representative soils of China: lysimeter and batch experiments.
TL;DR: Health risk assessment indicates that Sb leaching from Ferrosol will not harm to human health through groundwater under the test conditions, while it has certain health risks from the Isohumosol and Primosol.

Human Exposure to Antimony. II. Contents in Some Human Tissues Often Used in Biomonitoring (Hair, Nails, Teeth)
TL;DR: This review presents a critical discussion of the existing literature on antimony concentrations in hair, nails, and teeth, with three main objectives: evaluating published data from the methodological point of view, establishing a range of plausible values for antimony concentration in these tissues, and assessing statistically based correlations reported in case-control studies.

Interaction of Sb(III) with iron sulfide under anoxic conditions: Similarities and differences compared to As(III) interactions
Young-Soo Han,Hye Jin Seong,Chul-Min Chon,Jin Hee Park,In-Hyun Nam,Kyoungkeun Yoo,Joo Sung Ahn +6 more
TL;DR: The pH-dependent Sb( III) uptake mechanisms proved to be similar to the corresponding mechanisms for As(III) uptake, with mackinawite demonstrating a superior capacity to scavenge Sb (III) in ferrous and sulfide-rich reducing environments.

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.

Abundance of chemical elements in the continental crust: a new table
TL;DR: In this article, a table of element abundances in the continental crust, calculated on the basis of a 1:1 mixture of granite and basalt abundances, is presented.
