Abstract
A layered double hydroxide anionic clay (ZnAlCO3-LDH)
with molar ratio Zn/Al of 4:1 was synthesized by co-precipitation method. The
ability of ZnAlCO3-LDH to adsorb anionic Amido Black dye from an
aqueous and factors affecting the sorption efficiency were investigated. Results indicate that ZnAlCO3-LDH is an attractive
candidate for removing organic anionic
Amido Black from solution. The sorption
process was also found to be influenced by contact time, initial concentration,
adsorbent dosage, particle size, temperature and solution pH. The
favorability of the adsorption process is reflected by the Langmuir
dimensionless separation factor RL
and also the n value of the
Freundlich Equation.
Keywords: adsorption; layered double hydroxide; Langmuir
separation factor, Freundlich Equation
