CaO-Fe
2O
3-SiO
2 (CFS) compounds were prepared from mixtures of Ca(OH)
2, FeOOH and SiO
2 and their simultaneous uptake properties for cations and anions were investigated. The starting powders were mixed in various ratios using a planetary ball mill and heated at various temperatures in air and flowing N
2 atmospheres. Amorphous compounds were formed by heating up to <600°C while hematite (α-Fe
2O
3) was crystallized at ≥600°C and calcium silicates and/or calcium iron silicates at ≥800°C. Simultaneous ion uptake experiments were carried out by a batch method using solutions containing same concentrations of Ni
2+, NH
4 + and H
2PO
4 -. The samples heated at 600°C showed the highest ion uptake ability. The uptake abilities were higher for Ni
2+ and H
2PO
4 - than for NH
4 + and increased with increasing CaO content in the CFSs. The uptake abilities for three ions enhanced by heating the samples in flowing N
2. The simultaneous uptake mechanisms are thought to be similar to those observed in the CAS compounds, i.e. ligand change (Ca
2+→Ni
2+), compound precipitation and adsorption. The CFS compounds have the following advantages compared with CaO-Al
2O
3-SiO
2 (CAS); (1) higher uptake ability for phosphate ions (a model for harmful oxyanions) and (2) easy separation of a contaminated sorbent from the solution after uptake using a magnet.
