In the present study, the competitive adsorption of Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Cd²⁺ by a novel natural adsorbent (i.e., argillaceous limestone) modified with chitosan (C-AL) was investigated. The results demonstrated that both intraparticle diffusion and chemisorption marked significant contributions to the Cu²⁺ adsorption process by both raw argillaceous limestone (R-AL) and C-AL in mono-metal adsorption systems. Antagonism was found to be the predominant competitive effect for Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺ adsorptions by C-AL in the multi-metal adsorption system. The three-dimensional simulation and FTIR analysis revealed that the presence of Cu²⁺ suppressed Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺ adsorptions, while the effect of Cd²⁺ on Cu²⁺ and Pb²⁺ adsorptions was insignificant. The spectroscopic analyses evidenced that amide groups in C-AL played a crucial role in metal adsorption. The preferential adsorptions of Pb²⁺ > Cu²⁺ > Cd²⁺ were likely due to the different affinities of the metals to the lone pair of electrons on the N atom from the amide groups and/or the O atoms from the –OH and -COO⁻ groups on C-AL. The interactions between C-AL and metal ions and between various metal species influenced their competitive adsorption behaviors. C-AL exhibited a superior metal adsorption capacity in comparison with that the capacities of other natural adsorbents reported during the last decade, suggesting its potential practical applications.
