The chemistry and behaviour of antimony in the soil environment with comparisons to arsenic: A critical review
TL;DR: Characteristics of the Sb soil system are reviewed, with an emphasis on speciation, sorption and phase associations, identifying differences between Sb and As behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimony in the environment: a review focused on natural waters: II. Relevant solution chemistry
TL;DR: In this article, the main characteristics of the solution chemistry of antimony in relation to its behaviour and fate in natural waters are discussed based on a careful and systematic examination of a comprehensive collection of solution equilibrium and environmentally oriented studies, some published more than 100 years ago.

Mine tailings dams: Characteristics, failure, environmental impacts, and remediation
David Kossoff,David Kossoff,William E. Dubbin,Maria Alfredsson,Stephen J. Edwards,Mark G. Macklin,Mark G. Macklin,Karen A. Hudson-Edwards +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the characteristics, types and magnitudes, environmental impacts, and remediation of mine tailings dam failures is presented, covering the characteristics of the tailings held within these dams, what best safety practice is for these structures, and what adverse effects such accidents might have on the wider environment and how these might be mitigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic and antimony in water and wastewater: overview of removal techniques with special reference to latest advances in adsorption
TL;DR: An overview of As and Sb chemistry, distribution and toxicity, which are relevant aspects to understand and develop remediation techniques are presented, and several alternative sorbents have been presenting promising results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimony pollution in China.
TL;DR: The local environments around Sb mining and smelting areas were seriously contaminated and plants growing in these contaminated soils accumulated high levels of Sb and exceeded the tolerable concentration, thus threatening the health of local inhabitants.

Distribution and Mobilization of Arsenic and Antimony Species in the Coeur D'Alene River, Idaho
Wai Man Mok,Chien M. Wai +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, As and Sb were found to be predominant forms in the waters of the South Fork and Main Stem of the Coeur d'Alene River, whereas the North Fork generally had higher As(V) concentrations.

The Occurrence of Some Trace Metals in Coastal Organisms With Particular Reference to the Solent Region
T. M. Leatherland,J. D. Burton +1 more
TL;DR: Variations amongst organisms from different parts of the Solent area and comparisons with other regions suggested some possible influences of local waste discharge, but there was no evidence of major effects.

Multi-element chemistry of some Amazonian waters and soils
TL;DR: In this article, the chemical composition of Amazonian rivers according to the soil types in their catchment regions and vice versa is analyzed. And the results have profound implications for using water chemistry as an indicator of the agricultural and mineral potential of a region.

Direct and simultaneous determinations of Zn, Cd, Pb, Cu, Sb and Bi dissolved in sea water by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry with a hanging mercury drop electrode
TL;DR: Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry with a hanging mercury drop electrode is used for the direct and simultaneous determination of Zn, Cd, Pb, Cu, Sb and Bi at their natural levels in sea water after adjustment to pH 1 and to a 2 M chloride concentration as discussed by the authors.

Anionic species of V, As, Se, Mo, Sb, Te and W in the Scheldt and Rhine estuaries and the Southern Bight (North Sea)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the species of V, As, Se, Mo, Sb, Te and W in solution and suspension in samples obtained during several cruises in the Dutch Wadden Sea, the offshore region of the Southern Bight (North Sea) and in the estuaries of the Rhine and Scheldt.
