A novel core-shell magnetic Prussian blue-coated Fe 3 O 4  composites (Fe 3 O 4 @PB) were designed and synthesized by in-situ replication and controlled etching of iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) to eliminate Cd (II) from micro-polluted water. The core-shell structure was confirmed by TEM, and the composites were characterized by XRD and FTIR. The pore diameter distribution from BET measurement revealed the micropore-dominated structure of Fe 3 O 4 @PB. The effects of adsorbents dosage, pH, and co-existing ions were investigated. Batch results revealed that the Cd (II) adsorption was very fast initially and reached equilibrium after 4 h. A pH of 6 was favorable for Cd (II) adsorption on Fe 3 O 4 @PB. The adsorption rate reached 98.78% at an initial Cd (II) concentration of 100 μg/L. The adsorption kinetics indicated that the pseudo-first-order and Elovich models could best describe the Cd (II) adsorption onto Fe 3 O 4 @PB, indicating that the sorption of Cd (II) ions on the binding sites of Fe 3 O 4 @PB was the main rate-limiting step of adsorption. The adsorption isotherm well fitted the Freundlich model with a maximum capacity of 9.25 mg·g −1  of Cd (II). The adsorption of Cd (II) on the Fe 3 O 4 @PB was affected by co-existing ions, including Cu (II), Ni (II), and Zn (II), due to the competitive effect of the co-adsorption of Cd (II) with other co-existing ions.
