The morphology and structure of iron-aluminum pillared attapulgite were analyzed through various characterization methods. The conditions and influencing factors of iron-aluminum pillared attapulgite preparation and Sb(III) adsorption were studied. The saturated adsorption capacity of Sb(III) could reach 60.44 mg·g<sup>−1</sup> for 180 min at pH 7 and 298 K. The adsorption process is conformed to Langmuir isothermal model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the thermodynamic investigation suggested a spontaneous and endothermic adsorption process. It was revealed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and Zeta potential analysis that Sb(III) was first electrostatically adsorbed by the adsorbent, part of Sb(III) was oxidized to Sb(V) by Fe(III) and then antimony was complexed with iron and aluminum hydroxides to form surface complexes. In addition, a small amount of antimony migrated through intra-particle diffusion into the internal micropores and reacted with hydroxyl groups.

The findings of the desorption experiment showed that the adsorption product has a considerable degree of desorption at increased hydrochloric acid concentrations. It may be concluded that the adsorption product is more stable in the overall polluted water environment since the actual acidity of the polluted water environment is significantly lower than the desorption experiment acidity.
