Abstract—Both traditional stone-like and novel microspheric ZnNiAl-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were used as adsorbents for methyl orange removal from water. The stone-like ZnNiAl-LDH was synthesized by a coprecipitation method (c-LDH), and the microspheric ZnNiAl-LDH was prepared by a hydrothermal method (h-LDH). The special surface area of h-LDH (188.8 m2/g) is higher than that of c-LDH (71.0 m2/g), then h-LDH shows an excellent adsorption performance than c-LDH. The Al3+ content in microspheric ZnNiAl-LDH also has an impact on the adsorption capacity, which enhances with the Al3+ content increasing. The adsorption kinetics can be described with the pseudo-second-ordered model for both LDHs, and the adsorption isotherms of h-LDH can be fitted well by the Langmuir model, while the Freundlich model is better fit for c-LDH. The adsorption mechanisms for both LDHs are mainly attributed to ion exchange, electrostatic interaction and accompanied by surface complexation simultaneously.
