Ferrihydrite/manganese dioxide composites (FH-M) were synthesized from ferrihydrite (FH) and manganese compounds by ex situ synthesis and characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in the present work. The influences of experimental parameters such as the solution pH value and initial concentration of adsorbate on the adsorption uptake of Cd(II)/As(V) was systematically investigated. The adsorption kinetics was analyzed by fitting quasi-first-order and quasi-second-order kinetic equations. The results showed that with increase in the pH value, the adsorption rate of Cd(II) is increased, while that of As(V) is increased first and then decreased. For the kinetic adsorption process, the adsorption performance of FH-M to As(V) was better than that to Cd(II). The quasi-second-order kinetic equation and Freundlich equation were more suitable to describe the adsorption of Cd(II)/As(V). The ligand exchange of Cd(II)/As(V) with the -OH in the composites was confirmed by analyzing the characterization results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The high adsorption ability of the FH-M makes it a potentially attractive adsorbent for the removal to Cd(II) and As(V) with a good application prospect.
