Antimony may enter the environment as a consequence of mining and processing of its ores and in the production of antimony metal, alloys, antimony oxide, and combinations with other substances. Antimony released from smelters may remain in particulate quantities in the air, some of which reaches the soil during rainfall where it attaches ...

Mining activities are acknowledged to introduce contaminants into localised environments and cause wider spread diffuse pollution. The concentration, distribution and fate of arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) were studied at the former metalliferous Louisa Mine at Glendinning, Scotland. Soils and surface water were sampled and subsequently …

The environmental mobility of antimony (Sb) is controlled by interactions with iron (Fe) oxides, such as ferrihydrite. Under near-neutral pH conditions, Fe(II) catalyzes the transformation of ferrihydrite to more stable phases, thereby potentially altering the partitioning and speciation of associated Sb. Although largely unexplored, Sb itself may …

Environmental impact of antimony mining. University of Otago emeritus professor of economic geology Dave Craw said there were concerns about the possible impacts of antimony mining on water quality, and the regional council and Siren Gold would need to agree on an acceptable level of those impacts before mining could happen.

Elevated soil concentrations of antimony (Sb) and co-contaminants are frequently encountered where antimony has been mined on a large scale. For instance, the Xikuangshan antimony mine in central South China has sustained, over many centuries, dispersed and spatially variable input of toxic elements into the soil ecosystem. We …

Antimony is commonly listed as a critical mineral, particularly in the United States and European Union [1]. Its criticality, or supply risk, is derived from a combination of economic vulnerability, disruption potential of supply, and trade exposure [2].Disruption potential relates a country's ability and willingness to supply a commodity.

Researchers are increasingly concerned about antimony (Sb) in ecosystems and the environment. Sb primarily enters the environment through anthropogenic (urbanization, industries, coal mining, cars, and biosolid wastes) and geological (natural and chemical weathering of parent material, leaching, and wet deposition) processes.

Impacts of environmental parameters on the overall microbial community. It has been reported that bacteria respond differently towards Sb and As contamination in our previous study (Sun et al., 2017). Additionally, microbes inhabiting mining areas adopt certain survival strategies to utilize these chemical elements (Sun et al., 2018).

Antimony (Sb), a toxic and carcinogenic metalloid, finds widespread use in industrial applications such as semiconductors, storage batteries, and flame retardants [4]. Global Sb mining reached 0.11 million tons in 2022, with China maintaining its position as the world's leading producer of Sb and accounting for 55% of global Sb output [46].

The mining and smelting activities resulted in heavy pollution of antimony in the nearing regions. As reported, the background concentrations of Sb in soils generally ranged from 0.38 to 2.98 mg kg −1, while Sb in the soils near Xikuangshan, even in paddy soils, could reach up to 135–1547 mg kg −1 (Huang et al., 2021, Zhang et al., 2021a).
