Magnesium–aluminum (Mg-Al) and magnesium–aluminum–nickel (Mg-Al-Ni) layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized by the co-precipitation method. The adsorption process of Mn2+ from synthetic wastewater was investigated. Formation of the layered double hydroxides and adsorption of Mn2+ on both Mg-Al and Mg-Ni-Al LDHs were observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDX) analysis. XRD patterns for prepared LDHs presented sharp and symmetrical peaks. SEM studies revealed that Mg-Al LDH and Mg-Al-Ni LDH exhibit a non-porous structure. EDX analysis showed that the prepared LDHs present uniformly spread elements. The adsorption equilibrium on these LDHs was investigated at different experimental conditions such as: Shaking time, initial Mn2+ concentration, and temperatures (10 and 20 °C). The parameters were controlled and optimized to remove the Mn2+ from synthetic wastewater. Adsorption isotherms of Mn2+ were fitted by Langmuir and Freundlich models. The obtained results indicated that the isotherm data fitted better into the Freundlich model than the Langmuir model. Adsorption capacity of Mn2+ gradually increased with temperature. The Langmuir constant (KL) value of Mg-Al LDH (0.9529 ± 0.007 L/mg) was higher than Mg-Al-Ni LDH (0.1819 ± 0.004 L/mg), at 20 °C. The final adsorption capacity was higher for Mg-Al LDH (91.85 ± 0.087%) in comparison with Mg-Al-Ni LDH (35.97 ± 0.093%), at 20 °C. It was found that the adsorption kinetics is best described by the pseudo-second-order model. The results indicated that LDHs can be considered as a potential material for adsorption of other metallic ions from wastewater.

Several layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with general chemical composition (Cu,Zn)1−xAlx(OH)2(CO3)x/2·mH2O have been synthesized by the co-precipitation method, maintaining a (M2+/M3+) molar ratio of 3, and varying the Cu2+/Zn2+ molar ratio between 0.2 and 6.0. After calcination and reduction steps, Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts were synthesized. These catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), H2 thermoprogrammed reduction (H2-TPR), N2 adsorption-desorption at −196 °C, N2O titration, X-ray photoelectron miscroscopy (XPS), NH3-thermoprogramed desorption (NH3-TPD) and CO2- thermoprogrammed desorption (CO2-TPD). The characterization data revealed that these catalysts are mainly meso-and macroporous, where Cu, ZnO and Al2O3 are well dispersed. The catalytic results show that these catalysts are active in the gas-phase hydrogenation of furfural, being highly selective to furfuryl alcohol (FOL) and reaching the highest FOL yield for the catalyst with a Cu2+/Zn2+ molar ratio of 1. In an additional study, the influence of the aging time on the synthesis of the LDHs was also evaluated. The catalytic data revealed that the use of shorter aging time in the formation of the LDH has a beneficial effect on the catalytic behavior, since more disordered structures with a higher amount of available Cu sites is obtained, leading to a higher yield towards FOL (71% after 5 h of time-on-stream at 210 °C).

A series of MgAlFe-CO3 layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were successfully prepared by co-precipitation method. With synthetic wastewater, the effect of doped iron on fluoride sorption by calcined MgAlFe-CO3 layered double hydroxides (CLDH) under different pH and contact time conditions was investigated. The sorption isotherm data were fitted well to Langmuir isotherm at 25 °C. The maximum sorption capacity of fluoride on CLDH increases first and then decreases with the increase of Fe/Al molar ratio and attains maximum of 71.94 mg/g when Fe/Al molar ratio is 1:2, although doped iron is unfavorable to the regeneration of original layered structure for CLDH after fluoride adsorption. No aluminium in the solution after fluoride adsorption was detected when Fe/Al molar ratio is equal to or larger than 1:2. The results indicate that CLDH with proper Fe/Al molar ratio is a promising candidate as an adsorbent material for fluoride removal from aqueous solutions.

The layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with different divalent transition metal groups and nitrate as a counter anion were investigated. Three d-block divalent metals namely cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) were selected. The cobalt/aluminium (CoAN)-, nickel/aluminium (NiAN)- and copper/aluminium (CuAN)-layered double hydroxides were successfully synthesized via co-precipitation method. All the obtained LDHs were characterized by PXRD, FT-IR, ICP-OES, CHNS and TGA/DTG analysis. Interestingly, behavior of the LDHs was dependent on the size of divalent cations. PXRD showed the basal spacing decrease in the order NiAN (0.88nm)> CuAN (0.87nm) > CoAN (0.74nm), and in a linear correlation with the increasing radii of the divalent cations. Similar trend is observed for the weight loss of LDHs, where NiAN has the highest weight loss (53%), followed by CuAN (43%) and CoAN (34%). Further elemental analysis showed the content of trivalent metal cations, nitrate anions and water molecules in the LDHs decrease with the increasing radii.

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) or hydrotalite-like compounds belong to a class of synthetic two-dimensional inorganic materials with lamellar structures, where the hydroxyl-hydrated compounds are formed by chemical substitution of divalent ion of the brucite-like octahedral layers by trivalent ions [1]. The LDH are represented by the general formula, Figure a , where M2+, M3+ are divalent and trivalent cation and Am- is interlayer anion responsible by charge balancing, the range of divalent and trivalent ions (x) varies normally between 0.17 a 0.33. According Montanari and co-works [2] compounds type ZnAl-hydrotalcites (ZnAl-HT) have relevant industrial interest; however the scientific literature concerning this material as catalysts or catalyst precursor is scarce. Based on this fact, in the present communication we will present a studied on how the variation in percentage of Zinc in a ZnMgAl-HT catalyst precursor can influence the formation of mixed oxides after calcination. The ZnMgAl-HTs, Figure b , y=5, 10,15,20,25,50,75 and 100% were prepared by co-precipitation and urea method. Mg-Zn/Al mixed oxides were prepared from calcinations of hydrotalcites precursors at 5000C for 4 hours. The material synthesized were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, the measurements were carried out in Bruker D8 DaVinci diffractometer, equipped with CuKα radiation , LynxEye linear Position Sensitive Detector, Ni-filter. Data was collect between 8 and 800in 2θ with step size of 0.020and the count time of 0.05 per step. Soller slit 2.50of divergence and 0.2 mm primary slit were used. For the ZnMgAl-HT samples the measurements were performed at different temperatures, range 25-12000C, heating rate 50C/min. It was observed differences among XRD patterns for y greater than 25% of Zn in urea method at 5000C, and for co-precipitation method just for the substitution at 50 and 75% of Zn. These results suggested that the increase in Zn percentage change the structure of calcinated samples.
