In the environment, antimony as a priority control pollutant is mainly associated with Fe-or
Mn-related minerals. In this work, acid birnessite (AB) doped with iron was synthesized as …

Birnessites are abundant naturally occurring minerals with high sorption and oxidation
capacity that could therefore play an important role in antimony (Sb) migration and …

Co-containing birnessites were obtained by ion exchange at different initial concentrations
of Co2+. Ion exchange of Co2+ had little effect on birnessite crystal structure and …

Nanostructured Co-doped birnessites were successfully synthesized, and their application
for the removal of Pb2+ and As (III) from aquatic systems was investigated. Powder X-ray …

Environmental context Antimony is classified as a priority pollutant and is increasingly
detected in the environment as a result of various anthropogenic activities. Natural …

Triclinic birnessite (TB), a typical layered Mn oxide which is abundant naturally occurring
minerals with a vital impact on the transformation of arsenite (As (III)) by adsorption and …

Manganese (Mn) oxides, such as birnessite (δ-MnO2), are ubiquitous mineral phases in
soils and sediments that can interact strongly with antimony (Sb). The reaction between …

Manganese (Mn) oxide minerals, such as birnessite, are thought to play an important role in
affecting the mobility and fate of antimony (Sb) in the environment. In this study, we …

Antimony (Sb) pollution in water has attracted extensive attention due to the biotoxicity of Sb.
Secondary iron minerals readily sorb heavy metal (loid) s and critically affect their cycling in …

Environmental context The release of antimony and its compounds to the environment can
present a toxic hazard for humans. We evaluated the use of birnessite to dissolve antimony …
