In recent years, antimony pollution in water has drawn more and more attention. Studies on theantimony removal have been increasing year by year. Due to its high efficiency, economy, and ease of operation, adsorption technology is considered to be one of the most promising and practical water treatment methods. In this review, we summarized the application of various adsorbents, such as activated carbon, activated alumina, silicate minerals, iron (hydr)oxide and composite materials, for antimony removal. The main removal mechanism of antimony on these adsorbents of these adsorbents were introduced. Furthermore, the reaction conditions and corresponding maximum capacity of antimony removal in the literature were compared. Combining previous studies in this field, the future research needswere put forward. This study aims to provide a theoretical reference for the treatment of antimony pollution.
