Abstract
Antimony (Sb) decontamination in water is necessary owing to the worsening pollution which seriously threatens human life safety. Designing bismuth-based photocatalysts with hydroxyls have attracted growing interest because of the broad bandgap and enhanced separation efficiency of photogenerated electron/hole pairs. Until now, the available photocatalysis information regarding bismuth-based photocatalysts with hydroxyls has remained scarce and the contemporary report has been largely limited to Bi3O(OH)(PO4)2 (BOHP). Herein, Bi3O(OH)(AsO4)2 (BOHAs), a novel ultraviolet photocatalyst, was fabricated via the co-precipitation method for the first time, and developed to simultaneous photocatalytic oxidation and adsorption of Sb(III). The rate constant of Sb(III) removal by the BOHAs was 32.4, 3.0, and 4.3 times higher than those of BiAsO4, BOHP, and TiO2, respectively, indicating that the introduction of hydroxyls could increase the removal of Sb(III). Additionally, the crucial operational parameters affecting the adsorption performance (catalyst dosage, concentration, pH, and common anions) were investigated. The BOHAs maintained 85% antimony decontamination of the initial yield after five successive cycles of photocatalysis. The Sb(III) removal involved photocatalytic oxidation of adsorbed Sb(III) and subsequent adsorption of the yielded Sb(V). With the acquired knowledge, we successfully applied the photocatalyst for antimony removal from industrial wastewater. In addition, BOHAs could also be powerful photocatalysts in the photodegradation of organic pollutants studies of which are ongoing. It reveals an effective strategy for synthesizing bismuth-based photocatalysts with hydroxyls and enhancing pollutants' decontamination.

Removal of Sb(V) from complex wastewater of Sb(V) and aniline aerofloat using Fe 3O 4-CeO 2 absorbent enhanced by H 2O 2: Efficiency and mechanism. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 365:121610. [PMID: 38955048 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121610] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
Effective elimination of heavy metals from complex wastewater is of great significance for industrial wastewater treatment. Herein, bimetallic adsorbent Fe3O4-CeO2 was prepared, and H2O2 was added to enhance Sb(V) adsorption by Fe3O4-CeO2 in complex wastewater of Sb(V) and aniline aerofloat (AAF) for the first time. Fe3O4-CeO2 showed good adsorption performance and could be rapidly separated by external magnetic field. After five adsorption/desorption cycles, Fe3O4-CeO2 still maintained good stability. The maximum adsorption capacities of Fe3O4-CeO2 in single Sb(V), AAF + Sb(V), and H2O2+AAF + Sb(V) systems were 77.33, 70.14, and 80.59 mg/g, respectively. Coexisting AAF inhibited Sb(V) adsorption. Conversely, additional H2O2 promoted Sb(V) removal in AAF + Sb(V) binary system, and made the adsorption capacity of Fe3O4-CeO2 increase by 14.90%. H2O2 could not only accelerate the reaction rate, but also reduce the optimal amount of adsorbent from 2.0 g/L to 1.2 g/L. Meanwhile, coexisting anions had little effect on Sb(V) removal by Fe3O4-CeO2+H2O2 process. The adsorption behaviors of Sb(V) in three systems were better depicted by pseudo-second-order kinetics, implying that the chemisorption was dominant. The complexation of AAF with Sb(V) hindered the adsorption of Sb(V) by Fe3O4-CeO2. The complex Sb(V) was oxidized and decomposed into free state by hydroxyl radicals produced in Fe3O4-CeO2+H2O2 process. Then the free Sb(V) was adsorbed by Fe3O4-CeO2 mostly through outer-sphere complexation. This work provides a new tactic for the treatment of heavy metal-organics complex wastewater.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024:10.1007/s11356-024-34007-0. [PMID: 38907816 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-34007-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
Antimony (Sb) pollution in aquatic ecosystems has emerged as a critical environmental issue on a global scale, emphasizing the urgent need for cost-effective and user-friendly technologies to remove Sb compounds from water sources. In this study, a novel adsorbent, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs), was synthesized using the aqueous extract of Psidium guajava L. leaves (AEP) for the purpose of eliminating Sb(III) from aqueous solutions. The biosynthesized SeNPs was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF), Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis techniques. Additionally, the removal efficiency of the SeNPs for Sb(III) was systematic investigated under the effects of SeNPs dose, temperature, pH and re-usability. The results of this study showed that the adsorption data fitted well into pseudo-second order model, while the Sips modeling demonstrated a high adsorption capacity (62.7 mg/g) of SeNPs for Sb(III) ions at 303.15 K from aqueous solution. The exothermic enthalpy change of - 22.59 kJ/mol and negative Gibbs free energy change assured the viability of the adsorption process under the considered temperature conditions. Surface functional groups on SeNPs like carboxyl, amide, hydroxyl, carbonyl, and methylene significantly facilitate the adsorption processes. Furthermore, the removal efficiencies of Sb in the two actual Sb mine wastewater samples were remarkably high, achieving nearly to 100% with 1.5 g/L SeNPs within 48 h. This outcome underscores the potential of SeNPs as a highly promising solution for efficiently remediating Sb from aquatic environments, owing to their cost-effectiveness, ease of regeneration, and rapid uptake capabilities.

Abstract
The metalloids arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) belong to the pnictogen group of the periodic table; they share many characteristics, including their toxic and carcinogenic properties; and rank as high-priority pollutants in the United States and the European Union. Adsorption is one of the most effective techniques for removing both elements and desorption, for further reuse, is a part of the process to make adsorption more sustainable and feasible. This review presents the current state of knowledge on arsenic and antimony desorption from exhausted adsorbents previously used in water treatment, that has been reported in the literature. The application of different types of eluents to desorb As and Sb and their desorption performance are described. The regeneration of saturated adsorbents and adsorbate recovery techniques are outlined, including the fate of spent media and possible alternatives for waste disposal of exhausted materials. Future research directions are discussed, as well as current issues including the lack of environmental impact analysis of emerging adsorbents.

Abstract
Microbes have been confirmed to play key role in biogeochemistry of antimony. However, the impact of indigenous bacteria (from active mines) on the behavior of dissolved antimony remained poorly understood. In current study, the hyper antimony-resistant strain, Achromobacter sp. 25-M, isolated from the world largest antimony deposit, Xikuangshan antimony deposit, was evaluated for its role in dissolved Sb(V) and Sb(III) precipitation and removal. Despite of the high resistance to Sb(III) (up to 50 mM), the facultative alkaliphile, 25-M was not capable of Sb(III) oxidation. Meanwhile 25-M can produce high amount of exopolymeric substance (EPS) with the presence of Sb, which prompted us to investigate the potential role of EPS in the precipitation and removal of Sb. To this end, 2 mM of Sb(III) and Sb(V) were added into the experimental systems with and without 25-M to discern the interaction mechanism between microbe and antimony. After 96 hrs' incubation, 88% [1.73 mM (210 mg/L)] of dissolved Sb(V) and 80% [1.57 mM (190 mg/L)] of dissolved Sb(III) were removed. X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis confirmed the formation of valentinite (Sb2O3) in Sb(III) amended system and a solitary Sb(V) mineral mopungite [NaSb(OH)6] in Sb(V) amended group with microbes. Conversely, no precipitate was detected in abiotic systems. Morphologically valentinite was bowtie and mopungite was pseudo-cubic as indicated by scanning electronic microscopy. EPS was subjected to fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis. FT-IR analysis suggested that -OH and -COO groups were responsible for the complexation and ligand exchange with Sb(III) and Sb(V), respectively. Additionally, the C-H group and N-H group could be involved in π-π interaction and chelation with Sb species. All these interactions between Sb and functional groups in EPS may subsequently favore the formation of valentinite and mopungite. Collectively, current results suggested that EPS play fundamental role in bioprecipitation of Sb, which offered a new strategy in Sb bioremediation.

Abstract
Magnetically modified carbon-based adsorbent (BC@γ-Fe2O3) was prepared through facile route using activated sludge biomass and evaluated for the simultaneous removal of Sb(III) and Pb(II). BC@γ-Fe2O3 exhibited outstanding Sb(III) and Pb(II) adsorption capacity when 200 mg of adsorbent was employed at pH 5.0 for 240 min, with the removal efficiency higher than 90%. The experiments demonstrated the excellent reusability and the potent anti-interference properties of the prepared absorbent. Freundlich and pseudo-second-order kinetic were prior to describe the adsorption process. The adsorption of Sb(III) and Pb(II) onto BC@γ-Fe2O3 was spontaneous and endothermic. BC@γ-Fe2O3 with high specific surface area revealed the exceptional competence to absorb Sb(III) and Pb(II) through pore filling, electrostatic adsorption and complexation. The adsorption mechanisms of Sb(III) and Pb(II) showed similarities with slight disparities. The removal of Sb(III) involved the Fe-O-Sb bond and π-π bond, while the adsorption of Pb(II) was closely related to ion exchange. Moreover, Sb(III) was oxidized to Sb(V) in a minor part during adsorption. The Fe-O-Cl active sites on BC allowed for the binding of γ-Fe2O3, guaranteeing the abundant adsorption sites and stability. BC@γ-Fe2O3 provides an efficient and green insight into the simultaneous removal of complex heavy metals with promising application in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The elimination of antimony pollution has attracted increasing concerns because of its high toxicity to human health and the natural environment. In this work, biomimetic δ-MnO2 was synthesized by using waste tobacco stem-silks as biotemplate (Bio-δ-MnO2) and used in the capture of Sb(III)from aqueous solution. The tobacco stem-silks not only provided unique wrinkled morphologies but also contained carbon element self-doped into the resulting samples. The maximum Sb(III) adsorption capacity reached 763.4 mg∙g -1, which is 2.06 times higher than δ-MnO2 without template (370.0 mg∙g -1), 4.53 times than tobacco stem-silks carbon (168.5 mg∙g -1), and 10.39 times than commercial MnO2 (73.5 mg∙g -1), respectively. The isotherm and kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption behavior was consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. As far as we are aware, the adsorption capacity of Bio-δ-MnO2 is much higher than that of most Sb(III) adsorbents. FT-IR, XPS, SEM, XRD, and Zeta potential analyses showed that the main mechanism for the adsorption of Sb(III) by Bio-δ-MnO2 includes electrostatic attraction, surface complexation, and redox. Overall, this study provides a new sustainable way to convert agricultural wastes to more valuable products such as biomimetic adsorbent for Sb(III) removal in addition to conventional activated carbon and biochar.

Abstract
Antimony contamination of tailings from the mining process remain attracted a great amount of concern. In this study, defective UiO-66-X crystal materials are rationally constructed using trifluoroacetic acid and hydrochloric acid as modulators for the removal of Sb(V) from actual tailing sand leachates. XRD and TG characterizations reveal that the number and kind of defects in UiO-66 are influenced by the type of modulators and the addition of trifluoroacetic acid makes UiO-66-TFA contain both cluster and ligand defects. Adsorption experiments show that UiO-66 and UiO-66-HCl achieve 100% removal of Sb(V) at pH 7.5 of the tailing sand leachate, and up to 90% removal of Sb(V) by the three materials at pH 2.5. It is noteworthy that the removal rate of Sb(V) by UiO-66-HCl is still satisfactory even under strongly acidic conditions at pH 0.5, with good potential for practical applications. Four kinetic models are used to fit the adsorption data and the analysis shows that the mechanism of Sb(V) adsorption by three adsorbent is all pseudo-second order and chemisorption acts as an important role in the adsorption process. In addition, the fixed bed adsorption experiments show that the material exhibit good prospects for practical applications.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 459:132256. [PMID: 37567138 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were effective in stabilizing Sb. However, the influence of electron donors and acceptors during SRB remediation, as well as the ecological principles involved, remained unclear. In this study, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 7757 was utilized to stabilize soil Sb within microcosm. Humic acid (HA) or sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) were employed to enhance SRB capacity. The SRB+HA treatment exhibited the highest Sb stabilization rate, achieving 58.40%. Bacterial community analysis revealed that SRB altered soil bacterial diversity, community composition, and assembly processes, with homogeneous selection as the predominant assembly processes. When HA and Na2SO4 significantly modified the stimulated microbial community succession trajectories, shaped the taxonomic composition and interactions of the bacterial community, they showed converse effect in shaping bacterial community which were both helpful for promoting dissimilatory sulfate reduction. Na2SO4 facilitated SRB-mediated anaerobic reduction and promoted interactions between SRB and bacteria involved in nitrogen and sulfur cycling. The HA stimulated electron generation and storage, and enhanced the interactions between SRB and bacteria possessing heavy metal tolerance or carbohydrate degradation capabilities.

Recent advancements in antimony (Sb) removal from water and wastewater by carbon-based materials: a systematic review. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT 2023; 195:758. [PMID: 37248306 DOI: 10.1007/s10661-023-11322-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
Antimony (Sb) has been classified as a high-priority contaminant in the environment. Sb contamination resulting from the use of antimony-containing compounds in industry necessitates the development of efficient methods to remove it from water and wastewater. Adsorption is a highly efficient and reliable method for pollutants removal owing to its availability, recyclability, and low cost. Recently, carbonaceous materials and their applications for the removal of Sb from the aqueous matrices have received special attention worldwide. Herein, this review systematically summarizes the occurrence and exposure of Sb in the environment and on human health, respectively. Different carbon-based adsorbents have been classified for the adsorptive removal of Sb and their adsorption characteristics have been delineated. Recent development in the adsorption performance of the adsorbent materials for improving the Sb removal from the aqueous medium has been outlined. Further, to develop an understanding of the effect of different parameters like pH, competitive ions, and dissolved ions for Sb adsorption and subsequent removal have been discussed. A retrospective analysis of literature was conducted to present the adsorption behavior and underlying mechanisms involved in the removal of Sb using various adsorbents. Moreover, this study has identified emerging research gaps and emphasized the need for developing modified/engineered carbonaceous adsorbents to enhance Sb adsorption from various aqueous matrices.

Abstract
Antimony is more than an emerging pollutant in water but a scare resource. In this study, we report an adsorbent with the record capacity so far from the balanced view of Sb(III) and Sb(V). The composite adsorbent was fabricated by encapsulating hollow Fe3O4 nanosphere with the EDTA grafted chitosan, and it has superhigh adsorption capacity of for 657.1 mg/g for Sb(III) and 467.3 mg/g for Sb(V), respectively. The mechanism study reveals that the adsorption of Sb initializes from the Fe3O4, propagates along the chitosan with hydrogen bond, and terminates at the inner sphere complex with the EDTA moiety in the adsorbent. In view of the ultra-high adsorption capacity of the adsorbent, the recovered adsorbent that contains abundant (>36.4%) highly dispersed antimony nanoparticles (600-FCSE-Sb) is applied to Li-ion battery anode after reduction. This article provides a new idea for connecting water treatment and electric energy storage.

Abstract
Sb(III) is often detected in contaminated soil and groundwater. Hence, high-efficiency technology is needed. In this study, bimetallic organic frameworks were used for the first time to immobilize Sb(III) from contaminated soil and groundwater. The materials were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Both ends of the prepared material were hexagonal tip rods, and the length became shorter as the ratio of Fe/Mg decreased. The bimetallic organic framework with a Fe/Mg feeding ratio of 0.5 was the optimum material for Sb(III) removal, which could effectively immobilize Sb(III). The adsorption isotherm was fitted well with the Freundlich model, and the optimal adsorption capacity can reach 106.97 mg/g. The adsorption capacity of 84% can be completed in 10 min, which conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetics. The Fe3+ could enhance the stability of the material, and the Mg2+ was conducive to freeing up adsorption sites for binding Sb(III) and forming stable chemical adsorption. Ion exchange is the predominant mechanism to remove Sb(III). After 14 days of remediation of Sb(III) contaminated soil, the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP)-leached concentrations of Sb(III) were reduced by 86%, 91% and 94% when the material dosages were 1%, 2% and 3%, respectively. Immobilization of Sb(III) in soil resulted in a conversion of antimony speciation from more easily bioavailable species to less bioavailable species, further contributing to reduce the environmental risk of antimony. The results indicate that ferro-magnesium bimetallic organic frameworks may serve as a kind of promising materials for the immobilization of Sb(III) in contaminated soil and groundwater.

Abstract
Antimony is a highly toxic pollutant and its removal from water gains increasing attention. To effectively remove both Sb(III) and Sb(V), a novel lanthanum-manganese binary oxide (L1M2BO) adsorbent was synthesized by a simple oxidation coupled with precipitation method. The as-prepared L1M2BO was detailedly characterized by the XRD, SEM, TEM, BET, FTIR and XPS techniques. It is amorphous and irregular in shape, with a particle size of 50-100 nm and a specific surface area of 180.4 m2/g. A remarkable synergistic effect between the lanthanum hydroxide and Mn oxide in improving antimony adsorption is shown. The maximum adsorption capacities of Sb(III) and Sb(V) are 364.6 mg/g and 131.1 mg/g at pH 7.0, respectively, which outcompete most of reported adsorbents. The adsorption behaviors of antimony fitted well the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Freundlich models. The adsorption mechanism of Sb(V) involves mainly the replacement of surface metal hydroxyl and forming inner-sphere complex. While the Sb(III) removal is a more complicated process, containing both Sb(III) adsorption and oxidation to Sb(V). Furthermore, the spent L1M2BO sorbent can be regenerated and reused. The L1M2BO could be used as an attractive adsorbent for antimony removal, owing to its easily fabrication, high effectiveness and reusability.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) pollution in the water environment caused by the large-scale mining of Sb ore and the wide use of Sb-containing products seriously endangers human health and poses a great threat to the ecological environment. Coagulation is one of the most cost-effective technologies for Sb pollution control in water/wastewater treatment and has been widely used. However, a comprehensive understanding of Sb pollution control by coagulation, from fundamental research to practical applications, is lacking. In this work, based on the current status of Sb pollution in the water environment, a critical review of the Sb removal performance and mechanism by coagulation and related combined processes was carried out. The influencing factors of Sb removal performance by coagulation are introduced in detail. The internal mechanisms and improvement strategies of Sb removal by oxidation/reduction-coagulation and coagulation-membrane filtration technologies are emphasized. Moreover, given the development of Sb-removing coagulants and the resource utilization of Sb-containing sludge, future perspectives of coagulation for Sb removal are discussed. As the first review in this field, this work will illuminate avenues of basic research and practical applications for Sb and Sb-like pollution control in water/wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) contamination in soil has become a major environmental issue due to its adverse effects on ecosystems and human health. In this paper, 1255 soil samples were analyzed to investigate the distribution, speciation, in vitro oral bioaccessibility (8 soil samples) and human health risk of Sb in contaminated soils and its impacts on groundwater. The results showed that 4.38 % of the soil samples within the depth of 0-31 m exceeded the Risk Screening Values (RSV). Sb mainly existed in the residual fraction (38.05 % ∼ 94.22 %), Fe/Mn oxides (0.01 % ∼ 31.80 %) and the organic fraction (0.32 % ∼ 21.55 %) with poor mobility. The bioaccessibility of Sb was approximately <31 %. The total concentration of Sb (TSb) in soil was the dominant factor influencing the bioaccessible concentration of Sb (SbBio). Soil physiochemical properties such as Fe, Mn, and organic matter content (OM) also affected the magnitude of SbBio. Health risk assessment based on in vitro bioaccessibility suggested that the hazard quotient (HQ) of adults was within the acceptable level (HQ < 1) for industrial scenario, while the HQ of children and adults was greater than the acceptable level (HQ ≥ 1) for residential scenario, with a higher risk to children than adults. The results of the leaching experiment involving Dilution-Attenuation Factor (DAF) model suggested that the predicted maximum concentration of Sb in groundwater was 2.40 μg/L that is lower than the acceptable standard value (5 μg/L), implying that groundwater was not contaminated by Sb in soil. The findings of this study provide some insights into the speciation, in vitro bioaccessibility and health risk of toxic trace metals in contaminated soils and the potential environmental impacts.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) is considered to be a toxic metalloid of increasing prevalence in the environment. Although several phytoremediation studies have been conducted, research regarding the mechanisms of Sb accumulation and translocation within plants remains limited. In this study, soil from a shooting range was collected and spiked with an initial Sb(III) concentration of 50 mg/kg. A pot experiment was conducted to investigate whether Nerium oleander could accumulate Sb in the root and further translocate it to the aboveground tissue. Biostimulation of the soil was performed by the addition of organic acids (OAs), consisting of citric, ascorbic, and oxalic acid at low (7 mmol/kg) or high (70 mmol/kg) concentrations. The impact of irrigation with water supplemented with oxygen nanobubbles (O2NBs) was also investigated. The results demonstrate that there was a loss in plant growth in all treatments and the presence of OAs and O2NBs assisted the plant to maintain the water content at the level close to the control. The plant was not affected with regards to chlorophyll content in all treatments, while the antioxidant enzyme activity of guaiacol peroxidase (GPOD) in the roots was found to be significantly higher in the presence of Sb. Results revealed that Sb accumulation was greater in the treatment with the highest OAs concentration, with a bioconcentration factor greater than 1.0. The translocation of Sb for every treatment was very low, confirming that N. oleander plant cannot transfer Sb from the root to the shoots. A higher amount of Sb was accumulated in the plants that were irrigated with the O2NBs, although the translocation of Sb was not increased. The present study provides evidence for the phytoremediation capacity of N. oleander to bioaccumulate Sb when assisted by biostimulation with OAs.

Abstract
The serious environmental risks caused by Pb(II) and Sb(V) co-contamination increase the need for their efficient and simultaneous removal. In this study, the remediation feasibility by Fe-doped phosphogypsum (FPG) was elucidated for single systems with Pb or Sb pollutant and coexisting systems with both from water. As for single systems, Fe doping effectively enhanced the Pb(II) removal performance by phosphogypsum (PG) at low Pb(II) concentrations of below 100 mg/L via the combination of precipitation and complexation. The optimal removal rate of Sb(V) by FPG increased by 2.08-3.31 times as compared to that of by PG (10-120 mg/L), mainly due to the strong affinity of iron hydroxyl (≡Fe-O-H) towards Sb(V). Compared with the single systems, the coexistence greatly enhanced the Pb(II) and Sb(V) removal performance by FPG, and the interaction behavior between Pb(II) and Sb(V) on the FPG was concentration dependent. Briefly, the sorption of FPG controlled the elimination of low coexisting concentrations of Pb(II) and Sb(V), whereas the co-precipitation process between Pb(II) and Sb(V) predominated with high ions concentration. The significant synergistic effects were found during the removal of Pb(II) and Sb(V) on FPG in the coexisting system, which mainly attributed to precipitation, bridging complexation and electrostatic attraction. Considering the advantages such as facile preparation, low cost and high removal capacity, FPG is a promising material to uptake Pb(II) and/or Sb(V) from contaminated water.

Abstract
Addressing antimony (Sb) contamination, which is caused by the use of Sb compounds in various industries, is crucial. This study aims to compare two different Sb removal mechanisms: ion exchange and chelation. Therefore, two different water-soluble polymers-glycidyl methacrylate-N-methyl-D-glucamine and poly 2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl trimethylammonium chloride-were synthesized and used to remove Sb(III) and Sb(V) using the polymer-enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) method. The removal of Sb(III) was pH-dependent and extremely difficult at a pH of 1.2. However, when the pH of the solution was increased to 11, the Sb(III) removal rate increased to 77%. The Sb(III) removal rate was 28% at an Sb(III):polymer mole ratio of 1:5, which increased to 77% at a mole ratio of 1:20. Sb(III) removal was discovered to be unaffected by the low concentrations of Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ ions in the solution, maintaining a Sb(III) removal rate of 77%. The test parameters showed different characteristics for Sb(V) removal. Increasing the pH of the solution from 1 to 9 correspondingly increased the removal rate from 0% to 45%, but increasing it further to 11 decreased the removal rate to 14%. The removal rate of Sb(V) was 67% at a Sb(V):polymer mole ratio of 1:60. Sb(V) removal was discovered to be unaffected by low concentrations of SO42-, NO3-, and PO43- anions in the solution. However, notably, the Sb(V) removal rate decreased from 67% to 58% in the presence of Cl- ions. The results demonstrate that Sb removal via chelation was more effective than by ion exchange, and it remained unaffected by the presence of interfering ions.

Abstract
Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) are expected to replace lithium ion batteries (LIBs) as the next generation of large-scale energy storage applications because of their superior cost performance. However, the larger ionic radius of Na+ causes a remarkable volume expansion than that of Li+ during charge and discharge, which reduces the performance of the battery. In this work, we engineered a composite material in that monodispersed 2 nm Sb2S3 particles are uniformly loaded into a carbon matrix (Sb2S3/CZM), which is obtained by carbonization of a zirconium-based MOF with adsorption of Sb. The obtained composite material has a high specific surface area in favor of mass transfer, and the porous structure can resist many volume changes in the circulation process. Moreover, the ultrafine Sb2S3 particles are well-distributed in the composite material, which increases the utilization of the active substance and is promising for the storage of Na+. Based on its unique structure, the Sb2S3/CZM composite shows a specific capacity of 550 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and an excellent cycling stability of 88.9% retention after 1000 cycles at 3 A g-1. The excellent electrochemical performance provides enlightenment for the rational design of hierarchical heterostructures for energy storage applications.

Abstract
In this study, discarded mushroom-stick, which is widely available, was selected as a precursor to prepare MnO2-modified biochar (MBC) for Sb(III) removal. Several characterisation methods (SEM, BET, XPS, FT-IR, and XRD) were used to explore the mechanisms of antimony adsorption onto MBC. The results showed that MBC is a mesoporous material with a fluffy structure and a higher specific surface area (23.56 and 32.09 m2·g-1) than PBC600 (13.62 m2·g-1), exhibiting superior and stable adsorption capacities for Sb(III) (50.30 mg·g-1 for 1/30MBC600 and 64·12 mg·g-1 for 1/20MBC600) across a wide pH range (pH 4-8). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy analyses indicated that the main oxides and functional groups involved in the adsorption were manganese oxides and hydroxyl groups. Forty-four per cent of the adsorbed Sb(III) was oxidised to Sb(V) by manganese oxides or hydroxyl groups both on the surface of biochar and in solution. According to adsorption kinetics and isotherms, the adsorption process of Sb(III) is chemisorption, which includes monolayer and multilayer heterogeneous chemisorption processes. To sum up, MBC is an excellent adsorbent for the capture of Sb(III) from contaminated water with strong potential for future application.

Abstract
As rapid industrial and social growth, antimony mines are the overexploited, leading to the accumulation of trivalent antimony in the aquatic environment near smelters, which harm human health. To eradicate trivalent antimony from water, an innovative nanomaterial in the form of sludge biochar loaded with zero-valent bimetal was synthesized using a liquid-phase reduction method. The adsorption performance of the nanomaterial for trivalent antimony was investigated based on a series of adsorption experiments using sludge biochar, nano zero-valent iron biochar, and nano zero-valent bimetal biochar. The results showed that the optimal adsorption performance of the three nanomaterials for trivalent antimony, considering the economic practicability, was highlighted at solution pH of 3 and 0.05 g of nanomaterial. Additionally, the maximum adsorption capacity of sludge biochar, nano zero-valent iron biochar, and nano zero-valent bimetal biochar is 3.89 mg g-1 at 35 °C, 32.01 mg g-1 at 25 °C, 50.96 mg g-1 at 25 °C, respectively. The adsorption process of sludge biochar is endothermic, resulting in an increase in the adsorption capacity with increasing temperature, whereas the exothermic reaction contributes to decrease in the adsorption capacity at increasing temperature for the other two carbon nanomaterials. The inhibitory effect of coexisting ions was in the order: Al3+ > NH4+ > Na+ > K+; CO32- > CH3COO- > H2PO4- > S2-. Additionally, nanomaterials promoted seed germination and growth. Investigation of the adsorption mechanism using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that trivalent antimony was oxidised to pentavalent antimony, and Fe(III) was reduced to Fe(II). The formed primary battery formed by copper ions and iron acclerated electron transfer and improved the adsorption rate. This implied that trivalent antimony could be removed through the synergistic action of the adsorption behaviour and redox reaction. Therefore, the biochar loaded with the zero-valent bimetal serves as a pathway for eradicating trivalent antimony.

Abstract
Actuated by the non-ionic heavy metal of antimony (Sb) contaminants with undesired toxicity to the environment and human health, capturing Sb is urgent to remedy contaminated water. Herein, the lamellar MnCo hydrotalcite was grown on catkin-derived biochar through the in situ etching of ZIF-L to construct a hierarchical microtube@nanosheet hybrid (CLMH) for Sb immobilization. The adsorption behaviour and mechanism of trivalent antimony (Sb (III)) on the CLMH were investigated. The CLMH shows good pH applicability for capturing Sb(III) at pH from 2 to 9. The excellent adsorption capacity of CLMH for Sb(III) is 247.62 mg g-1at 303 K, and the endothermic process is proved by the positive value of ΔH0(10.54 kJ mol-1). The adsorption process is fitted with the intra-particle diffusion model, which can be described with external mass transfer, intraparticle diffusion in pores, and equilibrium stage. The adsorption mechanism is proved, which includes the bind of Metal-O-Sb bonds by inner-sphere complex, the embedding of Sb in the intercalation of hydrotalcite, redox between Mn and Sb, and functional groups dependent anchoring effect. The work benefits the understanding of the antimony removal behaviour over the hierarchical microtube@nanosheet hybrids.

Abstract
The treatment of mercury pollutants in water has been wide concern. Adsorption is a promising method for mercury removal that has been extensively studied. Nevertheless, the secondary application of the immobilized Hg is seldom investigated. In this paper, the Hg adsorption behavior of UiO-66 bearing sulfhydryl groups is studied. The research shows that the porous structure and sulfhydryl groups of UiO-66-SH can effectively promote the removal of mercury from water. In addition, this work also pushes forward the sequential application of the recovered adsorbent, which contains the adsorbed mercury that may cause secondary pollution. The recovered waste adsorbent, UiO-66-S-Hg, was successfully used as an efficient catalyst for transfer vinylation, which produces value-added products, vinyl benzoates. Eight vinyl esters have been successfully synthesized with a yield of up to 89%. This methodology provides a promising way for not only the treatment of mercury contamination, but also secondary pollution protection and the resource utilization of immobilized Hg.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) traces in water pose a serious threat to human health due to their negative effects. In this work, nanoscale zero-valent iron (Fe0) supported on activated carbon (nZVI) was employed for eliminating Sb(V) from the drinking water. To better understand the overall process, the effects of several experimental variables, including pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), coexisting ions, and adsorption kinetics on the removal of Sb(V) from the SW were investigated by employing fixed-bed column runs or batch-adsorption methods. A pH of 4.5 and 72 h of equilibrium time were found to be the ideal conditions for drinking water. The presence of phosphate (PO43-), silicate (SiO42-), chromate (CrO42-) and arsenate (AsO43-) significantly decreased the rate of Sb(V) removal, while humic acid and other anions exhibited a negligible effect. The capacity for Sb(V) uptake decreased from 6.665 to 2.433 mg when the flow rate was increased from 5 to 10 mL·min-1. The dynamic adsorption penetration curves of Sb(V) were 116.4% and 144.1% with the weak magnetic field (WMF) in fixed-bed column runs. Considering the removal rate of Sb(V), reusability, operability, no release of Sb(V) after being incorporated into the iron (hydr)oxides structure, it can be concluded that WMF coupled with ZVI would be an effective Sb(V) immobilization technology for drinking water.

Abstract
A zirconium-porphyrin based organic framework PCN-222 was employed for investigating the adsorption performance of Sb(III) in aqueous solution. It is proved that the adsorbent has the advantages of rapid adsorption and high capacity. Interestingly, we discover that PCN-222 shows pH-dependent adsorption performance, with higher capacity at pH = 2 and 8 than at pH = 5. According to XPS and FT-IR analyses, an adsorption model of PCN-222 with pH = 2, 5, and 8 is proposed, that is, zirconium clusters combine with antimony at different pH values with bidentate complexes, monodentate complexes, and alkaline monodentate complexes, thus producing an excellent adsorption effect. Moreover, the porphyrin ring is also beneficial for the adsorption of antimony. In addition, PCN-222 shows good regeneration and recycling performance, and it is a promising adsorbent as well as a platform for investigating the removal of Sb(III) in water treatment.
