Environmental Chemistry of the Elements
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive and critical rather than encyclopaedic summary of the data of environmental chemistry is presented, focusing on air, water, rocks and soils; the cycling of C, N, H, O2 and S in the biosphere are covered in 1 chapter and the elemental Other CABI sites are discussed.

S. K. Mandal,Raghab Ray,Aridane G. González,Oleg S. Pokrovsky,Oleg S. Pokrovsky,Oleg S. Pokrovsky,Tapan Kumar Jana +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the biogeochemistry of Sb in the Sundarbans mangroves by measuring Sb concentration in sediment, plant organs, river water, sea water and pore water, and determining Sb fluxes within the ecosystem reservoirs.

Antimony in the environment: a review focused on natural waters: I. Occurrence
TL;DR: Antimony is ubiquitously present in the environment as a result of natural processes and human activities as discussed by the authors and is considered to be priority pollutants interest by the USEPA and the EU.

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.

Competitive Adsorption of Arsenate and Arsenite on Oxides and Clay Minerals
TL;DR: In this paper, a constant capacitance model was used to fit the arsenate and arsenite adsorption envelopes to obtain values of the intrinsic As surface complexation constants.

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.

Sorption of Sb(III) and Sb(V) to goethite: influence on Sb(III) oxidation and mobilization.
TL;DR: The results show that both Sb(III) and Sb (V) form inner-sphere surface complexes at the goethite surface, and adsorption of Sb on Fe hydroxides over a wide pH range may be a major pathway for the oxidation and release of S b(V).
