Antimony (Sb) is a valuable mined commodity, used mostly in fire retardants, and
considered a critical element. It is also a potential environment hazard classed as a …

Increasing amounts of impurities (especially As) in Cu ores have aggravated the problem of
flue dust generation in recent years. As an example from a smelter processing As-rich Cu …

The aqueous speciation and mineralogy of antimony (Sb) in waters and tailings at Beaver
Brook antimony deposit have been analyzed to understand Sb mobility during the initial …

Environmental context Antimony enters the environment from tailings and mines but there
are widely divergent statements about its mobility in the environment. This work addresses …

Dust emissions from copper smelters processing arsenic-bearing ores represent a risk to
soil environments due to the high levels of As and other inorganic contaminants. Using an in …

The legacy of copper (Cu) mining at Špania Dolina-Piesky and Ľubietová-Svätodušná
(central Slovakia) is waste rock and soil, surface waters, and groundwaters contaminated …

Total and leached Arsenic, Mercury and Antimony were determined in the topsoils
developed on the mining waste dumping area of Le Lame (Mt. Amiata, central Italy) where …

Antimony pollution caused by mining activities is a current environmental concern. This
study investigates the processes involved in the Sb release and mobility in the abandoned …

Nanoparticles of MgSb2O6 were synthesized using a microwave-assisted wet chemistry
method, followed by calcination at 700° C. Their ability to detect different concentrations of …

MgSb2O6 nanoparticles with a trirutile-type structure were synthesized using a chemical
