Abstract
This paper aims at studying the preparation of Zn-Al-LDH anionic clay and its adsorption proprieties in removing orthophosphate ions from aqueous medium. The LDH phase was synthesized by co-precipitation method and then calcined at 500 °C. Structural and textural properties of the prepared LDHs were determined by using x-ray diffraction, FTIR, BET, SEM and pHPZC analysis. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out under different parameters such as stirring time, pH and initial orthophosphate concentration. Results show that the prepared LDHs are efficient in removing orthophosphate and the maximum uptake was observed after 2 h. Experimental kinetic data are well described by the pseudo-second order model. It was also found that the adsorption process is significantly affected by the pH value. The sorption mechanisms include ion exchange, reconstitution of LDH phase and/or electrostatic attraction. Also, the isotherm study reveals that the Freundlich equation best fit the equilibrium data.
