A novel adsorbent Mn-Fe layered double hydroxides intercalated with ethylenediaminete-traacetic (EDTA@MF-LDHs) was synthesized by a low saturation coprecipitation method. The behavior and mechanism of As(III) removed by EDTA@MF-LDHs were investigated in detail in comparison with the carbonate intercalated Mn-Fe layered double hydroxides (CO3@MF-LDHs). The results showed that EDTA@MF-LDHs had a higher removal efficiency for As(III) than As(V) with a broader pH range than CO3@MF-LDH. The large adsorption capacity of EDTA@MF-LDHs is related to its large interlayer spacing and the high affinity of its surface hydroxyl groups. The maximum adsorption capacity for As(III) is 66.76 mg/g at pH 7. The FT-IR and XPS characterization indicated that the removal mechanism of the As(III) on EDTA@MF-LDHs include surface complexation, redox, and ion exchange.
