Abstract

Fuchsin acid (FA) and other organic dye contaminants have a great harm to the environment and organisms. It is of importance to develop suitable materials with simple preparation process, low cost and excellent performance, for the purification of polluted water. Layered double hydroxides (LDH), as a kind of efficient anion adsorption materials, can be reused simply, but with poor solid–liquid separation efficiency. Herein, the magnetized modified CaAl-LDH (designated as M-CaAl-LDH) was successfully prepared by using cheap compounds such as CaO, AlCl3 and Fe2+/Fe3+ under the ultrasound-assisted co-precipitation condition. The crystal structure, surface morphology, and elemental compositions were characterized by XRD, FTIR-ATR, SEM–EDS, for the as-prepared LDH materials. The optimized results of removal effect for FA in the simulated sewage show that the removal rate was reached 92.15%, when 0.5 g M-CaAl-LDH was added to the simulated solution with initial pH = 7.5 after adsorption time of 60 min. As for CaAl-LDH before and after magnetic loadings, it is also found that the elimination capacity of M-CaAl-LDH is slightly lower than CaAl-LDH, which may be resulted from the loading of minor amounts of magnetic nano-Fe3O4 with poor removal ability.
