Anaerobic Bacterial Immobilization and Removal of Toxic Sb(III) Coupled With Fe(II)/Sb(III) Oxidation and Denitrification

Antimony (Sb) pollution is a worldwide problem. In some anoxic sites, such as Sb mine drainage and groundwater sediment, the Sb concentration is extremely elevated. Therefore, effective Sb remediation strategies are urgently needed. In contrast to microbial aerobic antimonite [Sb(III)] oxidation, th...
