Selective removal of arsenic (As) is the key challenge for any of As removal mechanisms as
this not only increases the efficiency of removal of the main As species (neutral As (III) and …

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 …

Antimony is ubiquitously present in the environment as a result of natural processes and
human activities. It exists mainly as Sb (III) and Sb (V) in environmental, biological and …

The occurrence of arsenic in natural water has received significant attention during recent
years. Arsenic exists in the environment in a number of valency states. The valency state of …

Arsenic contamination in water, especially groundwater, has been recognized as a major
problem of catastrophic proportions. The toxicology and health hazard also has been …

Large volumes of produced water are generated and discharged to the coastal and ocean
waters worldwide from offshore oil and gas production facilities. There is concern that the …

This paper discusses the main characteristics of the solution chemistry of antimony in
relation to its behaviour and fate in natural waters. It is based on a careful and systematic …

Arsenic has a complex marine biogeochemistry that has important implications for its toxicity
to marine organisms and their consumers, including humans. The average concentration of …

Owing to the toxicity and adverse effects of arsenic on human health, its levels in aquatic
environments are among the most serious threats to humans globally. To improve our …

The fate of arsenic—a redox sensitive metalloid—in surface sediments is closely linked to
early diagenetic processes. The review presents the main redox mechanisms and final …
