“…The environmental chemistry of Sb has been comprehensively reviewed (169 references with titles). 28 The review also included extensive coverage of the relevant analytical methodologies and a discussion of common remediation/removal technologies. The section on speciation analyses is rather short: only 14 papers are very briefly mentioned.…”

“…Sb usually has four oxidation states in water, including Sb(−III), Sb(0), Sb(III), and Sb(V). In aerobic surface water and anaerobic groundwater, the leading valence states of Sb are respectively Sb(III) and Sb(V) [ 20 ]. Arsenic, such as antimony, is often present in the form of soluble arsenic, namely As(III) and As(V).…”

As highly toxic and carcinogenic substances, antimony and arsenic often coexist and cause compound pollution. Heavy metal pollution in water significantly threatens human health and the ecological environment. This article elaborates on the sources and hazards of compound antimony and arsenic contamination and systematically discusses the research progress of treatment technology to remove antimony and arsenic in water. Due to the advantages of simple operation, high removal efficiency, low economic cost, and renewable solid and sustainable utilization, adsorption technology for removing antimony and arsenic from sewage stand out among many treatment technologies. The adsorption performance of adsorbent materials is the key to removing antimony and arsenic in water. Therefore, this article focused on summarizing frontier adsorption materials’ characteristics, adsorption mechanism, and performance, including MOFs, COFs, graphene, and biomass materials. Then, the research and application progress of antimony and arsenic removal by frontier materials were described. The adsorption effects of various frontier adsorption materials were objectively analyzed and comparatively evaluated. Finally, the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of various frontier adsorption materials in removing antimony and arsenic from water were summarized to provide ideas for improving and innovating adsorption materials for water pollution treatment.

“…Antimony used in the lead-zinc tailings is mainly stibnite (Sb 2 S 3 ) [ 2 ], and many studies reported that the migration and transformation of antimony is mainly Sb(OH) 6 − [ 3 , 4 ]. In this respect, a series of reactions such as oxidation and leaching occurs under the combined action of oxygen, water, and microorganisms, making Sb 2 S 3 soluble SbO 3 − and hydrolyze to Sb(OH) 6 − , and then attached to the surface of various solid particles in the tailings in the form of adsorption [ 3 , 5 ]. This part of antimony usually has high activity, and without proper pretreatment managed, it can cause serious or even catastrophic consequences.…”

Blast furnace slag (BFS), steel slag (SS), and flue gas desulfurized gypsum (FGDG) were used to prepare metallurgical slag-based binder (MSB), which was afterwards mixed with high-antimony-containing mine tailings to form green mining fill samples (MBTs) for Sb solidification/stabilization (S/S). Results showed that all MBT samples met the requirement for mining backfills. In particular, the unconfined compressive strength of MBTs increased with the curing time, exceeding that of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Moreover, MBTs exhibited the better antimony solidifying properties, and their immobilization efficiency could reach 99%, as compared to that of OPC. KSb(OH)6 was used to prepare pure MSB paste for solidifying mechanism analysis. Characteristics of metallurgical slag-based binder (MSB) solidified/stabilized antimony (Sb) were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). According to the results, the main hydration products of MSB were C-S-H gel and ettringite. Among them, C-S-H gel had an obvious adsorption and physical sealing effect on Sb, and the incorporation of Sb would reduce the degree of C-S-H gel polymerization. Besides, ettringite was found to exert little impact on the solidification and stabilization of Sb. However, due to the complex composition of MSB, it was hard to conclude whether Sb entered the ettringite lattice.
