Abstract Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal which is common in landfill leachate and it has caused serious public health problems. It is necessary to find a cost effective method to deal with landfill leachate containing Cd(II). The loess-modified clay is proved to be effective to remove Cd(II) removal from landfill leachate. The adsorption capacity of loess-modified clay towards Cd(II) has been determined to be about 7.08 mg/g. Factors affecting the adsorption of Cd(II) include loess proportion, slurry concentration, initial solution pH, temperature and event duration. The adsorption isotherms and kinetic data are well fit with the Langmuir model and pseudo-second order kinetics model, respectively. The thermodynamic behavior reveals that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic and the system disorder increases with time. The adsorption of Cd(II) on loess-modified clay involves chemical reaction and surface complexation with clay minerals. Chemical precipitation is considered as the dominant me...
