Journal ArticleDOI
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.

The total trace element content of some scottish soils by spark source mass spectrometry
TL;DR: In this article, the total trace element contents of a Scottish soil corresponds to that expected on the basis of the geochemistry of its parent materials and that the influence of agricultural operations on soil contents is of secondary importance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of antimony in contaminated grassland: 2--Small mammals and invertebrates.
TL;DR: There is little evidence of bioaccumulation of antimony in food chains represented by the soil-vegetation-invertebrate-insectivore pathway of the grasslands, and little indication of significant accumulation by herbivorous mammals despite marked contamination of their diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertical distributions of Sb(III) and Sb(V) in Pavin Lake, France
Kazufumi Takayanagi,Daniel Cossa +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the vertical profiles of dissolved total inorganic antimony (ΣSb), Sb(V), and Sb (III) have been determined in Pavin Lake, a small meromictic lake in France.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic, antimony and selenium speciation during a spring phytoplankton bloom in a closed experimental ecosystem
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the effects of a spring diatom bloom on the levels and speciation of dissolved arsenic, antimony and selenium in the water enclosed in an experimental ecosystem moored in Loch Ewe (NW Scotland).
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of arsenic and antimony in water and soil by hydride generation and atomic absorption spectroscopy
TL;DR: A colorimetric field method for the determination of As and Sb was compared with atomic absorption (AA) techniques using both graphite furnace atomic absorption and the hydride generating technique with the heated quartz cell as mentioned in this paper.
