Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are potential scavengers for anionic contaminants due to their “memory effect”. Here we report the removal of thiosulfate anion from contaminated water by calcined MgAl–CO3 LDH (CLDH). The results indicate that CLDH exhibits a good performance in adsorption of thiosulfate.We studied the kinetics and thermodynamics of adsorption of thiosulfate from water. The equilibrium isotherm showed that the uptake of thiosulfate anion well agrees with the Langmuir equation, the positive value of △HӨ demonstrates the endothermic feature of the adsorption, the pseudo-second order kinetics model can be uItalic textsed to describe the uptake process and the value of Ea was calculated to be 75.898 kJ/mol. Our results suggest that the process of thiosulfate uptaking was controlled by the reaction rate of thiosulfate with the CLDH rather than diffusion.

A study is presented on the electrochemical oxidation of 4-chlorophenol (4cp) in aqueous solution using a bare carbon paste electrode, CPE, and another one that was modified with ZnAl layered double hydroxides (CPE/ZnAl-LDH). The electro-oxidation was effected at pH values ranging from 3 up to 11. It was found through cyclic voltammetry that this process was irreversible, namely, there were no reduction peaks, and that depending on the nature of the electrode, the anodic current was limited either by adsorption (CPE) or diffusion (CPE/ZnAl-LDH). The energy required and the oxidation reaction rate depended on the pH and on the nature of the electrode, such that the greater rates were obtained when the CPE/ZnAl-LDH electrode and acid pHs were used.
