This article provides a critical review of the environmental chemistry of inorganic antimony (Sb) in soils, comparing and contrasting findings with those of arsenic (As). Characteristics of the Sb soi...
The present work investigated the adsorption of Sb(III) and Sb(V) on five sediment samples (Pearl River, Yangtze River, Yellow River, Yongding River, and Liao River) from typical water systems in Chin...
The present work investigated the adsorption and mobility (desorption) of Sb(V) on kaolinite using batch experiments. The adsorption of Sb(V) on kaolinite was studied as a function of contact time, pH...
The increasing interest in urban agriculture highlights the crucial question of crop quality. The main objectives for environmental sustainability are a decrease in chemical inputs, a reduction in the...
The experiment of artificial afforestation combining with soil amendment was carried out to investigate the effects of soil amendment on antimony (Sb) chemical forms, and its bioavailability in Chines...
In order to investigate the phenomenon of bioaccumulation of heavy metals in Broussonetia papyrifera, we selected plants which grew in the forests with or without serious heavy metal (Sb, As, Cd and H...
Five British former mining and smelting sites were investigated and found to have levels of total Sb of up to 700 mg kg(-1), indicating high levels of contamination which could be potentially harmful....
Environmental context. Soil contamination by antimony (Sb) has become an environmental problem of much concern in recent years, because increasing mining and industrial use has led to widespread soil ...
Environmental context. Concern over the presence of antimony (Sb) in the environment because of chemical similarities with arsenic (As) has prompted a need to better understand its environmental behav...
Environmental context Scientific knowledge is continuously built up based on research results, and relies on their efficient and accurate dissemination. Using antimony as an example, a system is propo...
Antimony occurs widely in the environment as a result of natural processes and human activity. Although antimony is similar to arsenic in chemical properties and toxicity, and a pollutant of priority ...
Antimony (Sb) pollution has been of growing environmental concern. Little information is available on biosorption of Sb. In the present study, biosorption behavior and mechanisms of Sb(III) to the cya...
Antimony (Sb) is ubiquitous throughout the environment as a result of natural processes and human activities. In China, superlarge-, large and medium-sized Sb deposits are concentrated in the Guangxi ...
Antimony (Sb) has received increasing attention recently due to its toxicity and potential human carcinogenicity. In the present work, drinking water, fish and algae samples were collected from the Xi...
Abstract This research attempted to study the adsorption of Sb(III) and Sb(V) on bentonite using batch experiments. The effects of reaction time, temperature, initial Sb concentration, and competitive...
Abstract Many crops cultivated in mining areas have been found to accumulate high levels of antimony (Sb) in their edible parts, thereby causing potential risks to human health. Understanding the beha...
Abstract Antimony, a pollutant of priority interest by United States Environment Protection Agency (USEPA) and Europe Union (EU), is detected in soil and water with elevated concentration due to its e...
Abstract Antimony (Sb) pollution has been of a great environmental concern in some areas in China. Sb enters human body via drinking water, inhalation and food chain, unavoidably interacts with human ...
