Antimony and Arsenic Analysis, Removal, and Environmental Risk
This community focuses on detecting, removing, and assessing the environmental and health risks of antimony and arsenic, primarily in water, soil, and industrial waste streams.
The work centers on analytical methods like vapor generation, hydride generation, and atomic absorption spectrometry for precise measurement. It also covers remediation techniques such as adsorption, leaching, and vacuum distillation for recovering these elements from anode slimes, mining tailings, and aqueous solutions. A significant portion addresses the health risk assessment of heavy metal exposure, including studies on antimony contamination in agricultural soils and its interaction with arsenic in co-contaminated environments.
The largest share of the community's output is found in antimony research, accounting for 20.3% of all antimony research, with 4,154 papers in this group. Tellurium and arsenic research also contribute significantly, representing 3.3% and 1.7% of their respective element research.
The community comprises 8,840 papers, publishing most frequently in Analytica Chimica Acta, Spectrochimica Acta Part B: Atomic Spectroscopy, and the Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry.
Recent work continues to focus on stabilizing antimony and arsenic in contaminated soils using organic matter and iron/manganese oxides, as well as developing selective adsorption methods for recovering tellurium and selenium from mixed solutions.
