Abstract

Mg/Al/Fe layered double hydroxide (MAF-LDH1) was prepared by solvothermal method with the sodium dodecyl sulfate as the template, and the ethanol system was benefit to growth of sample. The nature in the resulting MAF-LDH was investigated by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transformed infrared spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, and N2 adsorption-desorption. The morphology of MAF-LDH1 is petal-like with the size of 400–500 nm and the thickness about 10–20 nm. The adsorption performance of the samples was evaluated by absorption of the Congo red (CR) solutions. Compared with Mg/Al layered double hydroxide (MA-LDH), the maximum adsorption capacities of the MAF-LDH1 samples were 943.4 mg/g which was greatly enhanced. Furthermore, after seven cycling tests, the adsorption performance was still up to 90%. Theoretical calculation results revealed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich model. This work provides a promising alternative strategy to enhance the adsorptive properties of hydrotalcite-like materials.
