Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) in soil is a serious environmental issue. Exploring an efficient method for simultaneous immobilization of As and Cd in soils is of great significance. In this study, three types of composite material additives were selected to test their ability to immobilization of As and Cd simultaneously in soil of smelting site through leaching toxicity. Results showed that Fe-based composite material additives (SD) significantly reduced concentrations of As and Cd in solutions from SD1 and SD2 treated soils, signifying that certain Fe-based composite material potentially immobilization heavy metals in soil. While Ca-Mg-Si based composite material additives (C) and Si-Mg-Al based composite material additives (S) have a side effect in As immobilization. The conclusions were that Fe-based composite material may be used as effective in situ amendments to immobilization As and Cd simultaneously in soils.
