ANTIMONY MINING IN CHIOS As mentioned earlier, the organised mining activities in Chios Island, as far as antimony is concerned, cover two periods. The first was between 1898 and 1907, and the second, after a 47-year hiatus, from 1949 to 1954 (Charitos, 2010).Web

Antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) are priority environmental contaminants that often co-occur at mining-impacted sites. Despite their chemical similarities, Sb mobility in waterlogged sediments is poorly understood in comparison to As, particularly across the sediment–water interface (SWI) where changes can occur at the millimeter scale. …Web

The production process of antimony produces a large amount of solid waste, such as waste rock in mining, tailings in the beneficiation, metallurgical slag in the smelting, and so on. At present, most of these solid wastes are currently in storage, and the storage of a large amount of solid wastes is not only harmful to the local ecological …Web
