DFT study of Sb(III) and Sb(V) adsorption and heterogeneous oxidation on hydrated oxide surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, a density functional theory (DFT) modeling of antimony adsorption at model environmental interfaces is presented, and the results suggest that several different heterogeneous pathways starting from distinct metastable Sb surface complexes are possible.

Adsorptive Removal of Antimony (III) Using Modified Montmorillonite: A Study on Sorption Kinetics
Ansar Anjum,Monika Datta +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption behavior of the modified and unmodified MMT has been investigated as a function of initial concentration of metal ion in the solution, pH of the solution and contact time using a batch extraction process.

Diversity of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Associated with a Sb Accumulator Plant, Ramie (Boehmeria nivea), in an Active Sb Mining.
Yuan Wei,ZhiPeng Chen,Wu Fengchang,Jining Li,Yuxian Shangguan,Fasheng Li,Qing Ru Zeng,Hong Hou +7 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrated that ramie associated with AMF may have great potential for remediation of Sb-contaminated soils and revealed that Glomus was the dominant genus in this AMF community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption of Antimonate by Gibbsite: Reversibility and the Competitive Effects of Phosphate and Sulfate
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of Antimonate on the competitive effects of Phosphate and Sulfate in Soil Chemistry was investigated and an open-access version of the article was published.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of silicon treatment on antimony uptake and translocation in rice genotypes with different radial oxygen loss
TL;DR: The conclusions from this study indicate that Sb contamination in rice can be efficiently reduced by applying Si treatment and selecting genotypes with high ROL.

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.
