What is it about?
Recent development in the adsorption performance of the adsorbent materials for improving the Sb removal from the aqueous medium has been outlined. Further, to develop an understanding of the effect of different parameters like pH, competitive ions, and dissolved ions for Sb adsorption and subsequent removal have been discussed.

Why is it important?
Recently, carbonaceous materials and their applications for the removal of Sb from the aqueous matrices have received special attention worldwide. Hence, this study has identified emerging research gaps and emphasized the need for developing modified/engineered carbonaceous adsorbents to enhance Sb adsorption from various aqueous matrices.
Perspectives
Although carbon-based adsorbent materials have shown potential in removing aqueous Sb, most studies have focused on treating contaminants in well-mixed batch reactors, and there is limited information available on their practical application for remediating contaminated water. To confirm the effectiveness of these materials beyond batch-scale data, pilot-scale experiments, and field studies are necessary.
