Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are two of the most common elements found in contaminated sites. The behavior of specific metals in the soil may be affected by other metals because of the competition for adsorption sites. In this study, adsorption experiments after chemical extraction, multi-surface models, and advanced spectroscopy technology were jointly used to explain the adsorption mechanism of Cd and Pb and to determine the contribution of each component in the competitive system. The results show that pH is the key factor in determining the contribution of soil components to metal adsorption. Soil organic matter (SOM) is the dominant adsorbent for both Cd and Pb. Clay minerals play an adsorption role at low pH, whereas Fe/Al oxides adsorb metals primarily in the high pH range. Further, the competitive effect of Pb on Cd occurred primarily on SOM rather than on clay minerals. When the Pb concentration increased from 0 to 500 mg/L, the adsorption of Cd on SOM decreased by 132.0 mg/kg, whereas it decreased only by 1.9 mg/kg on clay minerals. Therefore, the competitive effect of Pb on Cd cannot be ignored in soils with high organic matter content.
