Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of arsenic and trace metal contents of discharges from adjacent coal and gold mines, Reefton, New Zealand
L. Hewlett,D. Craw,Amanda Black +2 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that elevated trace metal concentrations around mines in a wet climate are principally from non-anthropogenic sources and are readily attenuated by natural processes, and that coal mine discharge waters have low dissolved arsenic (typically near 0.01 mg L−1) and HFO has 90% of that flux is from background sources.

Effective antimony removal from wastewaters using polymer modified sepiolite: Isotherm kinetic and thermodynamic analysis
TL;DR: In this paper , the EDA-TMC polymeric branches were grafted onto the surface of sepiolite by polymerization and the surface morphology and the main adsorptive chemical groups of the developed S/EDA-trimesoyl chloride (TMC) sorbent were characterized by SEM, EDX, BET, and FTIR analysis methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the environmental chemical behavior, detection and treatment of antimony
Yang Zhang,Chunxia Ding,Daoxin Gong,Yaocheng Deng,Ying Huang,Jiangfu Zheng,Sheng Xiong,Rongdi Tang,Yongchang Wang,Long Su +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a review of commonly used Sb removal technologies, and critically analyze the remarkable characteristics and removal mechanism of these technologies, hoping to provide reference for the treatment and research of antimony pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of antimony (III/V) on microbial activities and bacterial community structure in soil.
TL;DR: Sequencing analysis revealed that Sb(III) decreased the bacterial diversity indexes and abundances of specific bacteria at the phylum level, whereas Sb (V) had little effect on them, and the bacterial community structure at the genus level was altered by Sb

Downstream changes in antimony and arsenic speciation in sediments at a mesothermal gold deposit in British Columbia, Canada☆
Suzanne Beauchemin,Y.T. John Kwong,Alexandre J. Desbarats,Ted MacKinnon,Jeanne B. Percival,Michael B. Parsons,Kumi Pandya +6 more
TL;DR: This article investigated Sb speciation in sediments along the drainage of the Upper Peter adit at the Bralorne Au mine in southern British Columbia, Canada, and compared the behavior of Sb with that of As.

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.
