“…Moreover, Sb(Ⅲ) can be rapidly oxidized to Sb(Ⅴ) under the action of manganese dioxide, and it is known in the literature that Sb(Ⅴ) can be strongly adsorbed on various types of iron oxide in the form of intra-sphere bidentate binuclear complexes (Liu, Wang, Xiang, Wu, Yan, Zhang, Lin, & Chai, 2023), with a decrease in antimony content in the solution. Meanwhile, Kaolin is structurally similar to seafoam and is a typical layered silica-aluminate mineral with layers connected by hydrogen bonding and a loose and porous structure with a large specific surface area, making it an excellent adsorbent material (Iji, Ibrahim, Argungu, & Obada, 2023). Therefore, in this paper, hydrothermal synthesis method was adopted, Kaolin was selected as the carrier, loaded with iron-manganese oxide.…”
