Popis: Iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) are the most frequently detected heavy metals in the soil and groundwater near municipal landfill sites. Natural calcium-carbonate-based materials, such as dolomite, effectively remove metal ions and are suitable as reactive materials for permeable reactive barriers (PRBs). However, multiple heavy metals usually coexist in contaminated groundwater, the effectiveness and competitive precipitation mechanisms in the removal of Fe(III) and Mn(II) are unclear. In this study, we investigated the efficiency and influencing factors of the removal of single and coexisting Fe(III) and Mn(II) by dolomite through experimental batch and column tests, property characterization, and PHREEQC simulations. Dolomite with 1.18-2.36 mm particle size showed the best removal efficiency for Fe(III) and Mn(II) through precipitation. Fe(III) was preferentially precipitated by dolomite with higher removal efficiency, attributed to the lower solubility product (K
