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.

Metal-organic associations in sediments—I. Comparison of unpolluted recent and ancient sediments and sediments affected by anthropogenic pollution
TL;DR: In this paper, the concentrations of 19 trace elements were determined by plasma emission spectrometry in organic fractions (organic solvent extractables, soluble humics, protokerogen and kerogen concentrates) separated from various recent and ancient sediments (mangrove sediments, algal mats, oil shales, phosphorites).
Journal ArticleDOI
Separation and determination of antimony(III) and antimony(V) species by high-performance liquid chromatography with hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometric and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric detection
TL;DR: In this paper, the effective separation and determination of inorganic antimony species by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) -hydride generation (HG) atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), HPLC-inductively coupled plasma (ICP) mass spectrometers (MS) and HPLC -HG-ICP-MS SbIII and SbV were separated on a strong anion-exchange column using phthalic acid as the mobile phase.

Trace Element Concentrations in Near-Surface Waters of the Great Lakes and Methods of Collection, Storage, and Analysis
Ronald Rossmann,James A. Barres +1 more
TL;DR: For example, Waters of the Great Lakes were sequentially sampled for dissolved, paniculate, and total trace elements from 1980 through 1985, and the results were field and laboratory blank corrected as discussed by the authors.

Chemical Fractionation in the Sedimentary Environment
TL;DR: In this article, chemical data on the upper continental earth's crust (assumed composition: 44% granites; 34% granodiorites; 8% quartz diorites, 13% gabbros) have been compared with those on graywackes and ordinary shales.

Dissolved arsenic and antimony in the Black Sea
TL;DR: Water samples from the 1988 Black Sea Expedition were analyzed for dissolved, inorganic arsenic and antimony speciation, and methylarsonic, methylstibonic, dimethylarsinic and dimethylstibinic acids were found in the deep anoxic water.
