In this study, the selective adsorption performance of different Fe-Mn binary oxides (FMBOs) towards Sb(V) in the textile wastewater under different concentrations of coexisting anions, surfactants and dyes were investigated. Results showed that the influences of different anions on the Sb(V) removal followed an order of phosphate > carbonate > sulfate > nitrate > chloride. The frequently-used organic acid of acetate was found to have insignificant effect. The coexisting surfactant with sulfonic groups could have adverse effect on the removal due to sulfonic groups could compete the adsorptive sites on Fe oxides with Sb(V). While the quaternary ammonium surfactant might have minor effect. The influences of the three widely used dyes on the Sb(V) adsorption decreased in the following order: reactive black-5 >acid orange-7> disperse blue-60, which confirmed that the dyes with sulfonic groups would have relatively higher effect. The selective adsorption capacities of Sb(V) by FMBOs followed an order of FMBO₃> FMBO₅ >FMBO₁₀> FMBO₂₀>PFO. Fixed-bed column adsorption supplied useful parameters and evidently indicated that the cyclic utilization of FMBO₃ was cost-efficient for practical dynamic Sb(V) removal. The Sb(V) removal by FMBO₃ from real textile wastewater can simultaneously improve the removal efficiency, stabilize pH and prevent the increase of iron concentration as compared to the traditional coagulation, further demonstrating the high practical applicability of FMBO₃.
