Fe-loaded biochar (FeBC) has been considered for Sb(III) adsorption, but the effects of oxygen (O) on the adsorption need further investigation. Liquid-/solid-phase analyses were conducted to investigate the role of O in the Sb(III) adsorption by FeBC. The adsorption was best described by the pseudo-second-order (PSO) model for kinetic results and by the Langmuir model for thermodynamic results. More than 96.8 % of Sb(III) was adsorbed by FeBC, and available O increased the liquid-phase Sb(III) oxidation efficiency by 2.1-7.5 times. The peak changes at ~1640 and 3450 cm in FTIR spectra indicated the occurrence of inner-sphere complexation between Sb(III)/Sb(V) and hydroxyl (-OH)/carboxyl (-COOH) groups in FeBC under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Fe/Sb X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) analysis results showed aqueous Sb(III) complexed to the edge-sharing Fe(III)-O-Fe(III) in FeBC. Regardless of whether O was available or not, solid-phase edge-sharing Fe(III)-O-Sb(V) complexes (~3.05 Å), which had lower toxicity and migration ability than aqueous Sb(III), formed through a ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) process. More than 91 % of adsorbed Sb(III) was oxidized to edge-sharing Fe(III)-O-Sb(V) complexes in 3 h. Additionally, the Sb(V) from liquid-phase oxidation could also directly complex to the Fe(III)-O-Fe(III) and form edge-sharing Fe(III)-O-Sb(V) complexes. These results provide evidence to inform further FeBC application for the Sb-contaminated water treatment.

Increasing antimony (Sb) pollution has become a global concern, but there is still a lack of economically efficient adsorbents for its remediation. In this study, a novel remediation material was developed by precipitating TiO onto waste herb-residue biochar (named TBC). The effectiveness and adsorption mechanisms of the material for Sb(III) removal were investigated through adsorption experiments, and the enhancement pathway of traditional herb decoction on the effectiveness of modified biochar was analyzed.

Background: The highly potent Auger electron emitter antimony-119 (Sb) and the SPECT-isotope antimony-117 (Sb) comprise a true theranostic pair particularly suitable for cancer theranostics. Harnessing this potential requires development of a chelator that can rapidly form a stable complex with radioactive antimony ions at the low concentrations typical of radiopharmaceutical preparations. Stable Sb(III) complexes of hydrotris(methimazolyl)borate (TMe) are known, prompting our investigation of this chelator.

Sulfonyl fluorides hold significant importance as highly valued intermediates in chemical biology due to their optimal balance of biocompatibility with both aqueous stability and protein reactivity. The Cornella group introduced a one-pot strategy for synthesizing aryl sulfonyl fluorides via Bi(III) redox-neutral catalysis, which facilitates the transmetallation and direct insertion of SO into the BiC(sp) bond giving the aryl sulfonyl fluorides. We report herein a comprehensive computational investigation of the redox-neutral Bi(III) catalytic mechanism, disclose the critical role of the Bi(III) catalyst and base (i.

Antimony (Sb) pollution in surface water and soil has earned extensive attention. Our previous study synthesized a new class of alumina supported Fe-Mn binary oxide (Fe-Mn@AlO) and found that MnO in the composite oxidized Sb(III) to Sb(V) and FeOOH and AlO played an indispensable role in adsorption of Sb(III) and Sb(V). This study further explored the removal of Sb in surface water and in situ sequestration of Sb in Sb-contaminated field soil via Fe-Mn@AlO.

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.
