The industrial activities of the last century have caused massive increases in human exposure to heavy metals. Mercury, lead, chromium, cadmium, and arsenic have been the most common heavy metals that induced human poisonings. Here, we reviewed the mechanistic action of these heavy metals according to the available animal …
The feasibility of a new method for separating arsenic from arsenic—antimony-bearing dusts using CuS was put forward, in which Sb was transformed into Sb 2 O 4 and Sb 2 S 3 that stayed in the roasted calcine while As was volatilized in the form of As 4 O 6.The factors such as roasting temperature and CuS …
The complete separation of arsenic and antimony can be attributed to the oxidative transformation of arsenic and antimony. The low solubility sodium arsenite was completely oxidized to highly soluble sodium arsenate, while Sb 2 O 3 was transformed into insoluble Sb 3 O 6 (OH) and NaSb(OH) 6. In addition, the filtration performance of leach ...
Antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) are priority environmental contaminants that often co-occur at mining-impacted sites. Despite their chem. similarities, Sb mobility in waterlogged sediments is poorly understood in comparison to As, particularly across the sediment-water interface (SWI) where changes can occur at the millimeter scale.
Antimony is used in brake linings, semiconductor components, battery grids, bearing and power transmission equipment, sheet and pipe and in pigments for paints. It is also applied as addictive in glassware and ... Arsenic and antimony levels in geothermal groundwater (Izmir, Turkey) were reported in the ranges 0.7–170 μg/L and 0.06 ...
1. Arsenic and antimony: Sources and toxicity. Arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) are trace elements with metalloid properties, showing a wide distribution in the environment (Kabata-Pendias & Mukherjee, Citation 2007).Both are chalcophile elements and usually co-occur in hydrothermal sulfide ores (Johnston et al., Citation …
Arsenic is a natural component of the earth's crust and is widely distributed throughout the environment in the air, water and land. It is highly toxic in its inorganic form. People are exposed to elevated levels of inorganic arsenic through drinking contaminated water, using contaminated water in food preparation and irrigation of food crops ...

The conditions of instrumentation and vapor generation of arsenic, antimony, bismuth and mercury were optimized. The optimized concentrations of KBH 4 and HCl required for analytes generation were 1.3% (m/v) and 20% (v/v), respectively. The interferences of coexisting ions and mutual hydride interferences were investigated …
a concentrate with a content of 63.8% Sb and 0.31% As was produced with an antimony recovery of 83% Sb. Keywords: antimony, arsenic, flotation, rougher, cleaning 1. Introduction Today, in metal and oxide form of antimony is an important source of raw materials with its use in
The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of a granular ferric oxide adsorbent medium to remove arsenic and antimony from drinking water via rapid small-scale column tests (RSSCTs). Three different water matrices - deionized, raw water treated with a reverse osmosis domestic device and raw water - were spiked with arsenic and/or ...
The presence of arsenic (As) in crude antimony trioxide (Sb 2 O 3) impedes the Sb recovery and results in an environmental issue.Selective As removal from crude antimony trioxide would therefore enable using this residue in commercial Sb 2 O 3 production. This work uses a nitric acid leaching method to remove As from crude …
Arsenic and antimony generally form compounds in which an oxidation state of 3+ or 5+ is exhibited; however, arsenic can form arsenides with an oxidation state of 3−. ... Most of the supply of borax comes directly from dry lakes, such as Searles Lake in California, or is prepared from kernite, Na 2 B 4 O 7 ⋅4H 2 O.
The main objective of this study was to investigate aluminum, gallium, indium, arsenic, and antimony exposures on blood and urine levels in the optoelectronic workers. One hundred seventy subjects were enrolled in this cohort study. Whole blood and urine levels were determined by inductively coupled …
2. Materials and Methods. 2.1. Sampling Sites. Eight sampling sites were chosen throughout Manadas Creek to determine the levels of antimony, arsenic, and thallium in the water column, sediments, tissues, and shells ().Sites were chosen based on location, accessibility, and presence of water ().Site 1 is located on the west side of a …
Arsenic and antimony are toxic metalloids, naturally present in the environment and all organisms have developed pathways for their detoxification. The most effective metalloid tolerance systems in eukaryotes include downregulation of metalloid uptake, efflux out of the cell, and complexation with phytochelatin or glutathione followed by sequestration …
Arsenic and antimony contents were determined in samples of 1 g each at the Canadian Activation Laboratories Ltd. using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) method with a detection ...

The elevation of the Slate Creek watershed ranges from 650 meters (2,132 feet) near the mouth at Eldorado Creek to 1,150 meters (3,770 feet) near the headwaters at Brooker Mountain (Figure 1-3). Elevation at the old antimony mine is near 820 meters (2,690 feet) (USGS 2013). Antimony, Arsenic, and Iron Total Maximum Daily Loads for Slate Creek ...
2.1.2. Preparation of stabilization material. The amFe@Mont was synthesized by an ultrasonic combined with co-precipitated method [33].Firstly, the Mont was grinded to 100 mesh, and then the sieved Mont was dispersed in 0.2 mol/L Fe(NO 3) 3 solution with a liquid to solid ratio (L/S) of 100:1 (mL: g). The mixture was sonicated for 3 h, following …
Arsenic and antimony are metalloids that exhibit similar geochemical behavior and are often found in the same mineral …
1. Introduction. Arsenic and antimony are toxic metalloids which are commonly present in the environment. Arsenic contamination of drinking water and soils from both natural and anthropogenic sources is a major hazard to human health in many areas [].It is estimated that more than 40 million people worldwide are chronically …
Like arsenic, antimony is widely distributed on earth, usually at low concentrations, e.g., 4.3 to 7.9 ppm in soils . In addition to terrestrial sources, this element can be detected in oceans and freshwater environments in the parts per billion range. The metalloid and its inorganic compounds find a variety of industrial uses; the element is a ...
Oxygen supply into the atomizer increased the antimony absorption with batch-type and continuous flow HGAAS, and the supply of oxygen decreased the arsenic interference on antimony by about 10%. Interference of arsenic on the antimony signal was found to be more dependent on the arsenic concentration rather than the …
