Preparation of Mg-Fe HTLCs and Study on the Adsorption Performance

Abstract:

Mg-Fe hydrotalcite-like compounds (Mg-Fe-HTLCs) were synthesized via hydrothermal method, and characterized by XRD and FT-IR. The roasted products were used to remove sulfate ions by the adsorptive ability from aqueous solution. The effects of adsorbent dosage, initial pH and temperature on the sulfate ions removal were fully investigated, and the adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms were also studied. Results showed that the synthesized materials with CO₃^2- as the interlayer anions had fine crystallinity. The materials of Mg-Fe hydrotalcite-like compounds had a very good adsorption capacity for aqueous solution with the initial sulfate ions concentration was 500mg/L, pH range from 4 to 8 and temperature of 35°C. Moreover, the adsorption equilibrium was about 90 min under the optical condition. The experimental data showed a good compliance with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the adsorption isotherm data met Langmuir models well. It was found that the maximal adsorption capacity reached 151.51mg/g.
