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.
