Antimony (Sb) is a metalloid element with potential toxicity and carcinogenicity, and is ubiquitous in our living environment. Sb pollution has become a serious global problem, which has been induced by combustion of fossil fuel and Sb-containing waste as well as mining activities. However, Sb geoch...
