A significant amount of antimony (Sb) enters into the environment every year because of the wide use of Sb compounds in industry and agriculture. The exposure to Sb, either direct consumption of Sb or indirectly, may be fatal to the human health because both antimony and antimonide are toxic. Firstly, the introduction of Sb chemistry, distribution and health threats are presented in this review, which is essential to the removal techniques. Then, we provide the recent and common techniques to remove Sb, including adsorption, coagulation/flocculation, membrane separation, electrochemical methods, ion exchange and extraction. Removal techniques concentrate on the advantages, drawbacks, economical efficiency and the recent achievements of each technique. We also take an overall consideration of experimental conditions, comparison criteria, and economic aspects.

由于工业和农业中广泛使用Sb化合物，因此每年都有大量的锑（Sb）进入环境。由于锑和锑都具有毒性，因此直接或间接摄入Sb可能会对人体健康造成致命危害。首先，本综述介绍了Sb的化学，分布和健康威胁，这对去除技术至关重要。然后，我们提供了去除Sb的最新常用技术，包括吸附，凝结/絮凝，膜分离，电化学方法，离子交换和萃取。去除技术集中于每种技术的优点，缺点，经济效率和最新成果。我们还全面考虑了实验条件，比较标准，
