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
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
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.

Abstract
There is a growing demand for heavy metal removal by membrane technology in real applications. However, few studies were reported concerning antimony (Sb) removal by membrane technology. Herein, a novel thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane comprising an alginate (SA) selective layer and a polyether sulfone (PSF) support membrane incorporating chitosan functionalized iron nanocomposite has been firstly developed for Sb removal via electrostatic self-assembly. The support matrix membrane contained iron nanocomposite (denoted as CIM) retained high water flux and porosity, and it reached a maximum removal capacity of 16.5 and 13.6 mg/g for Sb(III) and Sb(V) with nanofiller loading rate of 20% during static experiments, respectively. The coated SA top layer endowed the hybrid membrane (denoted as SA-CIM) to have a lower membrane flux, and have stronger retention abilities for Sb species than that by CIM during dynamic filtration experiments. The SA-CIM membranes also possess tolerable reversibility towards Sb removal. Benefiting from the negatively-charged dense selective layer and high adsorption capacity of the iron nanocomposites, the SA-CIM membranes demonstrated an enhanced removal capacity for Sb species via steric hindrance effect, electrostatic repulsion and adsorption. Our study offers a simple method to remove Sb by a novel polysaccharide functionalized hybrid membrane.

Abstract
Wastewater containing heavy metal antimony (Sb) from textile and printing industry has high potential toxicity to environment and human health. In this study, forward osmosis (FO) technology was firstly used to remove Sb from both model Sb wastewater and real dyeing and printing wastewater. The evaluation of FO performance with different feed solution pH and NaCl concentration indicated that the water flux and reverse salt flux were proportional to both the feed solution pH and NaCl concentration. The rejection of Sb decreased with NaCl concentration while increased with feed solution pH. The addition of Cr (VI) as co-existing ions in the feed further increased Sb removal for a range of feed solution pH and NaCl concentration. FO process exhibited high removal efficiency for Sb (>99.7%) and other water quality parameters (TN, TP, NH3-N, SS, COD and TOC) when it was applied for the treatment of real dyeing and printing wastewater. The mass balance of Sb in FO process was also analyzed to investigate the membrane fouling and rejection mechanism.

Abstract
The extracellular polymeric substances coating magnetic powders-supported nano zero-valent iron (nZVI@EPS@Fe3O4) was synthesized, using reduction and adsorption to treat Sb(V) wastewater. The adsorption performance and mechanism were investigated under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The adsorption capacity of nZVI@EPS@Fe3O4 (79.56 mg/g at pH = 5) was improved compared to that of the original materials (60.74 mg/g). The spectral analysis shows that both nZVI and EPS@Fe3O4 in nZVI@EPS@Fe3O4 played an important role in reducing Sb(V) to Sb(III) and adsorbing Sb. The reducibility and adsorption capacity of nZVI@EPS@Fe3O4 towards Sb(V) remained strong under aerobic condition (62% Sb(III), 79.56 mg/g), although they were slightly weaker than those under anaerobic condition (74% Sb(III), 91.78 mg/g). nZVI@EPS@Fe3O4 showed good performance in regeneration experiments. nZVI@EPS@Fe3O4 is promising as a cost-effective and highly efficient material for Sb(V)-contaminated water. This study is meaningful in understanding the redox behaviour of nZVI composites in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Antimonate Removal from Polluted Mining Water by Calcined Layered Double Hydroxides. CRYSTALS 2019. [DOI: 10.3390/cryst9080410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Calcined layered double hydroxides (LDHs) can be used to remove Sb(V), in the Sb(OH)6− form, from aqueous solutions. Sorption batch experiments showed that the mixed MgAlFe oxides, obtained from calcined hydrotalcite-like compound (3HT-cal), removed Sb(OH)6− through the formation of a non-LDH brandholzite-like compound, whereas the mixed ZnAl oxides, resulting from calcined zaccagnaite-like compound (2ZC-cal), trapped Sb(OH)6− in the interlayer during the formation of a Sb(V)-bearing LDH (the zincalstibite-like compound). The competition effect of coexistent anions on Sb(OH)6− removal was HAsO42− >> HCO3− ≥ SO42− for 2ZC-cal and HAsO42− >> HCO3− >> SO42− for 3HT-cal. Considering the importance of assessing the practical use of calcined LDHs, batch experiments were also carried out with a slag drainage affected by serious Sb(V) pollution (Sb = 9900 μg/L) sampled at the abandoned Su Suergiu mine (Sardinia, Italy). Results showed that, due to the complex chemical composition of the slag drainage, dissolved Sb(OH)6− was removed by intercalation in the interlayer of carbonate LDHs rather than through the formation of brandholzite-like or zincalstibite-like compounds. Both 2ZC-cal and 3HT-cal efficiently removed very high percentages (up to 90–99%) of Sb(V) from the Su Suergiu mine drainage, and thus can have a potential application for real polluted waters.

Abstract
A new, environmental friendly, polysilicate ferric manganese (PSFM) coagulant, composed of Fe, Mn and Si, was designed and developed. As part of the process, the PSFM flocs were then deposited onto an ultrafiltration (UF) membrane to increase the removal of active dyes and its antifouling properties in the presence of the active dye was tested. Influencing factors, such as dosage of coagulant and solution pH, were systematically investigated and included as the process optimization. The results show that PSFM flocs were well distributed on the membrane surface and a dense and homogeneous deposition layer was formed under optimal conditions. According to the characterization of PSFM floc by Fourier infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the major phase of PSFM floc is determined to be MnxFeySizOw(OH)i and the functional groups of this component contribute positively to the coagulation performance. The removal rate of the active yellow dye reached 86% at pH 5.0 with small and regular floc formed in the dense deposition layers. At pH 11.0 loose deposition layers were formed by large flocs and the removal of the active yellow dye reduce to 11%. Therefore, PSFM has a commendable potential to be used for producing a kind of deposited UF membrane with an excellent performance by controlling the forms of flocs and the deposition layers, which is the key mechanism to achieve a high efficiency for removal of active yellow dye.

Abstract
Given the adverse health effects of antimony (Sb), there is an increased focus on developing methods to remove this toxic metal from contaminated water bodies. To effectively remove Sb(V), a new nanostructured Fe-Cu-Al trimetal oxide was fabricated using co-precipitation method at ambient temperature. The Fe-Cu-Al trimetal oxide was very effective at removing Sb(V) from water; it had a maximal adsorption capacity of 169.1 mg/g at pH 7.0, a capacity that was competitive with most other reported adsorbents. The obtained amorphous oxide had a high pH point of zero charge (pHpzc = 8.8) and good adsorption Sb(V) efficiency over a wide pH range (4.0-8.0). Sb(V) uptake was achieved mainly through an ion-exchange reaction between Sb(V) ions and hydroxyl groups on the surface of the oxide. Given its good removal performance, high selectivity, and simple synthesis, this novel Fe-Cu-Al trimetal oxide offers a promising alternate for removing antimony contamination from aquatic environments.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2019; 231:268-274. [PMID: 30347345 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2018.10.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2017] [Revised: 07/11/2018] [Accepted: 10/13/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
This study involved fabricating biogenic Fe(III) flocs enriched from municipal sludge using microbial nitrate-dependent anaerobic Fe(II)-oxidizing (NAFO) processes. The research focused on bacterial community compositions and physicochemical properties of the biogenic Fe(III) flocs and their ability to adsorb arsenic (As). High-throughput sequencing analysis showed that significant microbial succession occurs in the raw sludge after the NAFO processes. The predominant bacterial communities in the biogenic Fe(III) flocs included Rhodanobacter, Parvibaculum, Gemmatimonas and Segetibacter genera. Microscopic and spectroscopic analyses included scanning electron microscopy - energy disperse spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. These tests indicated that biogenic Fe(III) flocs were a mixture of NAFO bacteria and nanosized, poorly crystalline Fe(III) oxide particles. Batch experiments showed that after 120 min of reaction time, more than 95% of As(III) and As(V) (at an initial concentrations of 0.25 mg/L) were effectively removed with 120 ppm biogenic Fe(III) flocs. In addition, biogenic Fe(III) flocs removed As more effectively than abiotic Fe(III) flocs. These findings indicated that biogenic Fe(III) flocs produced from municipal sludge using NAFO processes performed well in removing As.

Abstract
Herein, nanoscale iron (oxyhydr)oxide-coated carbon nanotube (CNT) filters were rationally designed for rapid and effective removal of Sb(iii) from water. These iron (oxyhydr)oxide particles (<5 nm) were uniformly coated onto the CNT sidewalls. The as-fabricated hybrid filter demonstrated improved sorption kinetics and capacity compared with the conventional batch system. At a flow rate of 6 mL min−1, a Sb(iii) pseudo-first-order adsorption rate constant of 0.051 and a removal efficiency of >99% was obtained when operated in the recirculation mode. The improved Sb(iii) sorption performance can be ascribed to the synergistic effects of convection-enhanced mass transport, limited pore size, and more exposed active sorption sites of the filters. The presence of 1–10 mmol L−1 of carbonate, sulfate, and chloride inhibits Sb(iii) removal negligibly. Exhausted hybrid filters can be effectively regenerated by an electrical field-assisted chemical washing method. STEM characterization confirmed that Sb was mainly sequestered by iron (oxyhydr)oxides. XPS, AFS and XAFS results suggest that a certain amount of Sb(iii) was converted to Sb(v) during filtration. DFT calculations further indicate that the bonding energy for Sb(iii) onto the iron (oxyhydr)oxides was 2.27–2.30 eV, and the adsorbed Sb(iii) tends to be oxidized. Herein, nanoscale iron (oxyhydr)oxide-coated carbon nanotube (CNT) filters were rationally designed for rapid and effective removal of Sb(iii) from water.![]()

Abstract
The integration of adsorbents with ultrafiltration (UF) membranes is a promising method for alleviating membrane fouling and reducing land use. However, adsorbents typically are only injected into the membrane tank once, resulting in a single dynamic protection layer and low removal efficiency over long-term operation. In addition, the granular adsorbents used can cause membrane surface damage. To overcome these disadvantages, we injected inexpensive and loose aluminum (Al)-based flocs directly into a membrane tank with bottom aeration in the presence of humic acid (HA) or raw water taken from the Miyun Reservoir (Beijing, China). Results showed that the flocs were well suspended in the membrane tank, and multiple dynamic floc protection layers were formed (sandwich-like) on the membrane surface with multiple batch injections. Higher frequency floc injections resulted in better floc utilization efficiency and less severe membrane fouling. With continuous injection, acid solutions demonstrated better performance in removing HA molecules, especially those with small molecular weight, and in alleviating membrane fouling compared with the use of high aeration rate or polyacrylamide injection. This was attributed to the small particle size, large specific surface area, and high zeta potential of the flocs. Additionally, excellent UF membrane performance was exhibited by reservoir water with continuous injection and acid solution. Based on the outstanding UF membrane performance, this innovative integrated filtration with loose Al-based flocs has great application potential for water treatment.

Abstract
A significant amount of antimony (Sb) enters into the environment every year because of the wide use of Sb compounds in industry and agriculture. The exposure to Sb, either direct consumption of Sb or indirectly, may be fatal to the human health because both antimony and antimonide are toxic. Firstly, the introduction of Sb chemistry, distribution and health threats are presented in this review, which is essential to the removal techniques. Then, we provide the recent and common techniques to remove Sb, including adsorption, coagulation/flocculation, membrane separation, electrochemical methods, ion exchange and extraction. Removal techniques concentrate on the advantages, drawbacks, economical efficiency and the recent achievements of each technique. We also take an overall consideration of experimental conditions, comparison criteria, and economic aspects.
