This study aimed to elucidate the co-adsorption characteristics of Cd(II) and Sb(III) by ferrihydrite (Fh) under anoxic condition. The coexistence of Sb and Cd is commonly observed in Sb mine area, but their co-adsorption behaviors to soil minerals still remain poorly understood. Heavy metal and metalloid commonly coexist in soils and sediments, and interact frequently with various minerals.
