the changes in concentrations of antimony lead and arsenic during this research Index Terms†antimonite arsenic froth flotation lead I INTRODUCTION The froth flotation process is used for ore concentration by utilizing the physio chemical differences among mineral particles The process comprises of chemical treatment on the
In nature antimony usually exists in the form of sulfide ore or sulfosalt with copper lead and silver Anderson 2019 For further utilization and smelting these minerals require a series of
Megantic The reserves of commercial grade ore in the deposit were estimated at 500 000 tons Purpose of Investigation The investigation was requested by Mr Alain Matte President Quebec Antimony Mines Ltd 1875 Thoret Brossard Quebec He was interested in a feasibility study on the concentration of the antimony values and in the develop
Antimony Sb is a non essential element for plants animals and humans With increased anthropogenic inputs from mining and industrial activities ore processing vehicle emissions and shooting activities elevated Sb levels in the environment have become a growing concern Despite of its non essentiality some plants can take up and accumulate Sb in relatively high
It is considered that Sb concentration in soils greater than 150 mg/kg causes damage to plants Feng et al 2020 It affects all plant processes ranging from germination growth development photosynthesis and induced reactive oxygen species ROS production; all these changes induce a serious reduction in plant growth Remans et al 2012; Zeng et al
Antimony concentrations in the mine waste samples slag and waste rock were in the range of 191 15 699 mg/kg while soils were characterized by Sb concentrations in the range of 47 95 mg/kg

Water samples from Xikuangshan China the world largest antimony Sb mine with a Sb mining and smelting history of more than 200 years were analyzed These water samples ranged from stream water in the vicinity of the mining and smelting area that received seepage from ore residues to the underground mine pit drainage The concentrations of total
Antimony Sb and arsenic As contaminations of soil are a serious environmental concern throughout the world Filella et al 2002; Wilson et al 2010 Although Sb is categorized as nonessential for biota it may still be taken up and ingested by plants animals and humans Murciego et al 2007 and has been restricted by the Basel Convention Kim et al

Effects of different forms of antimony on rice during the period of germination and growth and antimony concentration in rice tissue Sci Total Environ element for plants animals and humans With increased anthropogenic inputs from mining and industrial activities ore processing vehicle emissions and shooting activities elevated Sb
Antimony a toxic metalloid similar to arsenic is present at variable levels in most gold bearing rocks Antimony is soluble in the surface environment so antimony Sb mobilization in mine waters is an environmental issue around gold mines The Reefton gold mine was originally developed in gold bearing quartz veins; Sb concentrations were low <100
We studied the distribution of antimony and arsenic in terrestrial and aquatic soil plant systems in an antimony ore zone We found that the common climbing plant Kudzu Pueraria lobata is suitable for phyto stabilisation of antimony bearing tailings while tiger grass Thysanolaena maxima was able to extract antimony and arsenic from
Antimony has been known and used since ancient times but its applications have increased significantly during the last two centuries Aside from its few medical applications it also has industrial applications acting as a flame retardant and a catalyst Geologically native antimony is rare and it is mostly found in sulfide ores The main ore minerals of antimony are
Soils and stream sediments return comparable median Sb concentrations Plants are usually well protected against Sb uptake There exist however plant species that can accumulate Sb to values of more than 1000 mg/kg Antimony concentrations in the marine environment are not sufficiently well documented
Antimony is produced from stibnite ore Sb2O3 which is processed into antimony metal and antimony oxide Sb2O3 In plants the As concentrations in leaves and roots were far higher than
